Hotel bem localizado e limpo. Ponto negativo é o café da manhã. Muitas opções doces e nada saudável, nem ovo tinha. Ovo no café da manhã é o mínimo. De resto, foi uma boa estadia.

La limpieza no es precisamente la principal virtud de este hotel. La primera habitación que me asignaron tuve que solicitar que la cambiaran porque el baño estaba muy sucio; incluso la tapa del inodoro tenía manchas visibles. La habitación a la que me cambiaron, supuestamente un upgrade, estaba en peores condiciones. El baño tenía pelos por todos lados. Adicionalmente, las habitaciones no corresponden con las fotos publicadas en hoteles.com. No recomiendo este hotel.

Atendente do checkin não foi solicito. Informou que tinha que deixar a chave toda vez que saísse do hotel, e mesmo assim a camareira não arrumou nosso quarto, no segundo dia fui perguntar e de forma grosseira o atendente falou que seria arrumado. Café da manhã extremamente simples, pouca variedade, não tinha ovos mexidos e no segundo dia até pão faltou. Achei o custo benefício ruim.

Começando pelo quarto não tinha escrivaninha e cadeira e durante os 4 dias de estadia não tive serviço de quarto. Cama boa, tive que pedir toalhas na recepção no primeiro dia. O elevador estragou 2 dias, tive que subir 6 andares de escada. O café da manhã é excelente, produtos fresquinhos, máquina com 12 tipos de cafés, sucos, iogurte, frutas, alfajores. A atendente sempre repondo os itens. Recepção super cordial, pude deixar minhas malas antes do cheking e após o checkout guardas por lá. Tv do quarto com canais por assinatura e internet muito boas.
