Bem localizado, mas com limpeza precária

Foram reservados 4 quartos. Em todos apareceram baratas durante toda estadia. Roupas de cama e banho velhas, manchadas, esgarçadas. Em um dos quartos havia problema na iluminação central. Quartos com aparência de velhos, pisos manchados, mal cuidados. Não há espaço suficiente para todos os hóspedes no café da manhã, sendo necessário fazer filas. Há goteiras quando chove. Café da manhã simples, com poucas opções, sucos industrializados e pouca infraestrutura. Hotel próximo a restaurantes, bares, farmácia, ´praia e de fácil acesso.

Recomendável

O hotel fica em uma avenida principal, perto de restaurantes, bares, praia, feirinha de artesanato,farmácias, supermercado,shopping. O café da manhã é variado com boas opções. Só o estacionamento não é incluso na diária é pago extra. Funcionários educados, prestativos. A piscina é pequena, mas muito limpa.

EXCELENTE LOCALIZAÇÃO, BOM, BASICÃO

Hotel com excelente localização no bairro de Ponta Negra, pertíssimo de tudo q interessa ao turista à pé. Não escolheria outra localização pra ficar. Hotel bem bem simples, basicão, mas funcionários atenciosos, tentando dar o melhor deles. Café da manhã prático, básico, mas bem servido. Se vc tiver sorte de pegar um qto com vista pra rua, sua experiência será 1000 vezes melhor. Me arrependi de ter ficado num qto voltado pro outro lado. No geral, me hospedaria lá de novo fácil, fácil, se quisesse economizar e ficar próximo a tudo.
