Shower water temperature mild to cold, one day sheets were missing on the bed, towels left on bathroom floor, toilet paper roll, not replaced, water in minibar not refilled, slow wi-fi. Terrible stay for a Best Western hotel whereas the other two in Rio are really good places.

Não gostei.

A cama é horrível, fiquei com dor. O pescoço, a cama é bipartida, afunda, é horrível, o café da manhã é fraco e peguei o quarto com o banheiro sujo, com um tufo de cabelo. Ponto positivo, o atendimento do pessoal da portaria, e do restaurante.

Estadia razoável

Razoável.Apesar das informações escritas no papel quando do check-in, esperava-se que as informações fossem passadas verbalmente, gerando uma iteração e cordialidade. Cama de casal formada por duas camas de solteiro, formando uma vala no meio. Salvo apenas pela acessibilidade e estacionamento.
