Tiago at the front desk was fantastic gave me great tips for both a great time specifically great places to go and eat also local knowledge and real time information about staying safe. We were able to extend to different room until 9 o'clock at night at a very reduced rate because we had a night flight. Marcello at the front desk was also awesome. The rest of the staff staff was super friendly and helpful. Rooms were small but very clean. no washcloths available bring your own ;-)
