Péssima experiência.

Horrível, eu aluguei um quarto por um preço absurdo, e passei 3 dias com um barulho infernal de um condensador de ar, e além disso o quarto não tem visão nenhuma, uma janela de frente pra um muro, e outra coisa parece quarto de motel.

Estadia OK

Hotel com bom atendimento, porém com estrutura antiga e simples. Cama pouco confortável e roupas de cama bastante gastas. Café da manhã com boa variedade de opções, mas nada exepcional. O valor da diária está um pouco acima do que o hotel oferece, poderia ser mais adequada.

Hotel em obra e recebendo clientes.

O hotel estava em obra e segundo informações de funcionários, iria prosseguir por muito tempo nessa condição; quando foi feita a reserva e até o check in, não me foi dada nenhuma informação a esse respeito, quer pelo hotel, quer pelo Hoteis.com; teve dia que tive que sair do quarto devido ao barulho infernal. O hotel, realmente precisa de obras. O correto, ao meu ver, deveriam fechar o hotel, fazer um mutirão e então receber os hospedes, não submete-los ao constrangimento e desconforto.
