Monte Brazil Tours

Pros: good location, great views, above average included breakfast, functioning wifi Cons: aging infrastructure, particularly HVAC (air conditioning), inconvenient garage features will have you prefer to resort to limited street parking, Inconsistent staff, some attentive, others lacking problem resolution and basic customer service skills. Air conditioning broke on first night and was reported to concierge in the morning. We notified that we were about to leave for sight seeing for several hours and that it would be a great opportunity to have it fixed while we were absent. Apparently, despite this verbal interaction with the concierge, the "do not disturb" sign we had left on in the room was blamed for the reason why the technician could not go in the room to try to fix the reported broken AC, and since maintenance was already gone for the day, we would be sleeping in a hot room as result. Unacceptable. So we requested a new room, and were initially told they couldn't accomodate because hotel was full. I then noticed several keys set aside for yet to be checked in guests, and it was unfortunate that I had to remind staff that PRESENT guest have priority over NOT YET guests. Luckily, these customer service basics that I had to point out resonated with the staff member of the afternoon shift, and she proceeded to get management involved and got us another room. We appreciate her very much and hope management recognizes her for her excellence.

Unconventionally beautiful with incredible staff
