Decepcionante. Em vários sites informam que é servido café da manhã e possui recepção 24h. Não é verdade, os banheiros transbordando papel higiênico, levem sua toalha ou terão que pagar uma rasgada, banheiro não possui sabão para lavar as mãos (tive que sair para comprar). Isto foi só o principal. Não recomendo.

sem condições

Desconfortável, limpeza precária, sem estacionamento, sem toalhas de banho, chuveiro descontrolado que impossibilita o banho, colchões velhos e cama barulhenta. Apenas o atendimento da Tamires que tenta fazer de tudo para o cliente se sentir satisfeito, mas infelizmente ela não consegue fazer milagres. Não recomendo de forma alguma.

Não é lugar pra ir com família, e sim para casal que deseja ficar no máximo 1 noite. Faltou água no último dia, tive que ir embora sem banho eu, minha esposa e meus filhos, os banheiros ficavam muito sujo, a cama tinha um buraco horrível, cama sem conforto algum, a tv era tvbox saia do ar toda hora. Enfim, foi uma experiência não muito agradável, pode melhorar muito, possui localização privilegiada, o café da manhã por mais que seja pago e bom e tem um pouco de variedade. Os funcionários são guerreiros e trabalham muito, acho que o problema ali e gestão e investimento mesmo.
