Razoável

Apesar do excelente e atencioso atendimento das pessoas, a hospedagem no geral foi razoável, principalmente a falta de conforto da cama e dos travesseiros velhos e morfados.

Tem que dar manutenção!

Colchao afundava muito no meio, chuveiro estragado do funcionava frio, portas finas e que balançam a noite toda com vento. Tomadas não funcionam… nak havia mesa de canto, tinha que colocar celular e água do lado da cama no chão… Café da manhã simples mas bem feito e senhoras educadas…

No geral, ok!

Positivo: O café da manhã é bom, as moças muito simpáticas. O atendente do dia muito atencioso. A cama também era boa. negativos: Tivemos alguns contratempos com a equipe da noite, eis que viajamos com criança, e mesmo após as 22h as pessoas bebiam, cantavam e gritavam no corredor, ao solicitar ao atendente da noite, este não gostou e não fez nada para resolver. O box do banheiro vaza água, molha muito o banheiro. O frigobar deixamos suco do meu filho, danone, frutas e eles desligaram ao fazer o serviço de quarto, ao chegar a noite tudo estava quente e perdido.

Pousada em sí é boa. Funcionários educados e solícitos, café da manhã não tinha tantas opções, mas muito gostoso e bem feito. O que eu nao gostei é que o colchão era partido pra aumentar o tamanho da cama. Com isso meu filho que dormia entre nós sempre ficava no vão o deixando desconfortável.

Excelente custo benefício! O diferencial é a simpatia e cordialidade dos colaboradores. Áreas comuns bem agradáveis, o local está passando por reformas de melhorias. O local tem acesso por uma rua bem íngrime. Existe uma área de churrasqueira que pode ser usada pelos hóspedes. Disponibilizam dispenses com shampoo, condicionador e sabonete líquido. A tarde cafezinho com bolo. A cama do quarto que fiquei não estava em boas condições, tirando isso tudo perfeito!
