O sistema de aquecimento dos chuveiros exige um ajuste. A forma de se ter água quente para o banho requer que abra a água quente no máximo e vá dosando com a fria para chegar no ponto que deseja. Nunca vi isto e não é nada prático.

O hotel é muito bem localizado, equipe educada e cordial, café da manhã bom, piscina muito boa. Minha única observação é em relação aos travesseiros, são muito finos e por mais que coloquem ainda fica baixo.

O tratamento efetuado pelos colaboradores da Vila Francesa é muito bom. Todos muito educados e prestativos. O café da manhã com muitas opções de bolos, pães, tortas. Um verdadeiro almoço. O quarto que eu fiquei muito bom, arejado e pra não dizer que não teve nada contra, o frigobar fazia um barulho que parecia uma mosca aprisionada. Achamos até engraçado. Fora isso tudo perfeito. O melhor de tudo: fica no centro de Penedo. Você praticamente não precisa de carro pra nada. Perto de bons restaurantes, do comércio. Localização privilegiada. Eu e a minha esposa gostamos muito.

Fui numa quinta e saí num sábado, infelizmente fizeram tratamento na piscina na quinta feira sem avisar os hóspedes e estava o dia extremamente quente e não pudemos nem ficar na borda da piscina . Achei a área de jogos e sauna muito abandonados , com teias de aranha por todo lado e bem sujas as mesas e cadeiras . Minha janela do banheiro tinha um rolo de papel higiênico segurando o vidro . Café da manhã da sexta muito fraco , os pães caseiros não são gostosos, massa muito seca e também dos bolos muito secos , café da tarde é só o bolo e pão q sobrou do café da manhã . A pousada tinha tudo pra ser muito melhor se atentassem pro café e para a estrutura q está bem largada . Recepcionistas muito gentis e atenciosos .

A limpeza do quarto poderia estar melhor e os travesseiros poderiam ser mais novos pois já indicavam bastaaante tempo de uso. Funcionários nota 10! O café da manhã era bom! Bom estacionamento tb. Gostei. Já é a segunda vez que fico nesse hotel e retornando a Penedo ficaria lá de novo.

Fiquei na suite n°11 eu , esposa e um pet. A suite foi entregue sem ter sido limpa. As toalhas estavam molhadas, não tinha produtos de higiene.O que deu a entender é que o último hóspede saiu e não limparam e organizaram o quarto para nos receber. Observei, que falta um administrador mais presente para checar os desvios que os funcionários possam cometer. A localização da pousada é excelente, o café da manhã atende (precisa agilizar a reposição qdo falta algo). Estacionamento atendeu, não sei se atende na alta temporada.

Infelizmente, nosso quarto estava estava com um cheiro terrível, pensando que era de fechado deixamos o ar ligado, e saímos, ao retornar meus pertences estavam em cima da bancada abaixo de ar e ficou tudo encharcado de água que havia vazado do ar. Minha esposa ao sentar em uma cadeira que estava quebrada se machucou, tampa do vaso sanitário estava quebrada, o aquecedor do chuveiro estava com problema. Chegamos para dormir por volta das 22:30 percebi que cheiro do quarto era suor, na roupa de cama e travesseiro. Não consegui dormir. Na manhã seguinte conversamos e conseguimos outra acomodação. Parece que pelas avaliações e o hotel que fiquei são propriedades totalmente diferentes. Mas percebi que todo o hotel está precisando de manutenção. A piscina estava com a água limpa mas todos os azulejos estavam com lodo verde. A escada estava quebrada. A localização do hotel é totalmente excelente, mas fica a dica para o proprietário começar realizar uma obra de recuperação.
