Avoid

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.

Custo beneficio razoável para medio

Aparentemente a propriedade é boa, mas no decorrer dos dias percebemos que não era feita a arrumação diária e nem troca da roupas de cama e banho. Piscina muito suja a maior parte dos dias. Café da manhã razoável, mas muita demora para repor produtos e pratos durante o horário do café.

O hotel tem problema no setor de governança

O apto estava com as paredes sujas, almofadas no sofá com forte odor de suor, box com limo no rejunte, travesseiros no armário sem fronhas e os travesseiros não tem capa, então tinham manchas de secreções e cheiro ruim, tive crise de asma no apto. Claramente o hotel tem problema sério no setor de governança.
