Basic but would stay again

Ok for the price. Edmílson was a very good receptionist. Could hear some street noise from the 15th floor. AC was also noisy. Small TV. Big room. Nice shower. Breakfast was basic but nice. Good higiene due to the pandemic. I would stay there again.

I expected better

Hotel is overrated as "outstanding." Aside from some needed construction to upgrade the WiFi which we can overlook, the details were underwhelming. Room was good and service good enough, but bathroom was tiny, breakfast sausages were actually hotdogs, there was no a/c in the hallways, TV was tiny, channels had horrible reception, pool was between a daycare with screaming kids and the street with people peering in, etc. I expected better. "Good" at best.
