9/10 Wonderful! (1,001 reviews)
The location was perfect. Breakfast was great! All the staff were really kind. Joao check us in and he was really great! They had a playpen setup for us with really cute baby bedding and toiletries. Which was appreciated. Room was a bit small but we were only there for one night.
