Underwhelming
Really, the customer service at the check in and out was underwhelming.
They weren't rude, but not personable. I don't need to be entertained, but there's def room for improvement on how they interact with customers. Elaborate, smile, say hello, etc.
First room they gave us was dirty, towels from previous guest on floor a bathroom, bed sheets turned down, ant on bed, trash on counters and floor. 2nd room was good. No pool. Breakfast was so so, no yogurts

Breakfast was terrible food and coffee cold, room smelled funny
It is a lo-budget option. Period. There was an amazing washer and drier for guests. Coin operated. Hotel had no change. None of the surrounding businesses had change. It became a thing. Little good to have the laundry available/not available.
We had an excellent experience. The staff was friendly, the room was clean and it was easy to get to and from where we were going. I slept better than usual.
Dormimos apenas uma noite, chegamos tarde e saimos após o café-da-manhã, mas gostamos muito ! Local limpo, bonito, café-da-manhã dentro dos padrões do hotel e do país. Funcionários atenciosos, cama, roupas de cama e toalhas, muito bons.
I recommend this place to anyone Edwin is great have customer service very happy and always has a smile! The room I was in was very very clean and smelled very nice props to the cleaning staff!
