Boa localização, mas precisa de cuidados.
Pelas fotos o hotel parecia melhor. Está precisando de cuidados. Travesseiros, ! e toalhas muito surrados. No meu quarto, a cortina estava soltando, o frigobar desligado, dando um ar de largado. O secador que solicitei na reserva não esquentava. Gostei do café da manhã, simples e gostoso. O pessoal , tanto da recepção quanto dos serviços muito simpaticos e atenciosos. Localização muito boa

Tivemos alguns contratempos que acreditamos serem controlados: o banheiro tinha barata e aranha, em seguida a água acabou durante o banho e tive que tomar banho pegando água em um pote. O ar-condicionado pingou água na cama, na primeira a solicitação para conserto foi feita, mas não foi atendida, até que na 3 noite, depois de pedir novamente eles consertaram. O café da manhã é extremamente simples. A luz do banheiro ficava piscando e o exaustor não funcionava. A cama não é confortável e não serviço de troca de roupa de banho nem limpeza do chão do quarto durante os 4 dias.

Quarto com mal cheiro e sujo!
O quarto tinha um forte cheiro de cigarro.Como o quarto não tem janela o cheiro não saía. As roupas de cama estavam sujas, as fronhas com forte cheiro de suor e quarto estava sujo. A funcionária foi muito solicita e atenciosa, mas não conseguiu resolver o problema do cheiro de cigarro, no final tivemos q comprar um Bom Ar....mas mesmo assim não ajudou muito....O lugar no geral é bonito, mas pecou nmuito na limpeza!

Aconchegante e acolhedor
Muito bom, localização ótima, café da manhã simples mas ok, o lugar é lindo, aconchegante, nota 10. Único ponto negativo são algumas obras que estão fazendo na área da piscina, o barulho incomoda muito além de inutilizar um espaço da área da piscina.

Lugar Simples Mas Tende a melhorar...
Bom Um atendimento excelente, recepcionista agradavel e cordial, mas a estrutura do local precisa melhorar, Banheiro, quarto escuro e sem janelas, cama, entre outros. Acustica do local, no andar de baixo, e muito ruim ouve-se as conversas além dos gritos e conversas altas. Café simples poderia ter mais opção, mas e bem receptivo. Enfim pra uma estadia simples quem queira, recomendado...🙋‍♂️
