"O que mais gostamos foi a localização estratégica perto da Serra do Rio do Rastro, que era nosso objetivo conhecer. Porém o hotel está em reforma e faltam alguns itens a serem cuidados. A escadaria de acesso aos andares superiores não consta com corrimão obrigatório. No banheiro o interruptor e tomada ficava dentro da área do box - perigosíssimo. A bacia da privada e o chuveiro ficavam dentro do mesmo box. Tomou banho, não usa a bacia...tudo molhado. Por fim, não há UM ÚNICO gancho de parede...
