Primitivo
A gestao do hotel é feita pelo proprio gerente - que tem um nivel de amabilidade, hospitalidade e simpatia, beirando o zero. Ambientacao bem ultrapassada. As janelas dos quartos sao pequenas. Experiencia de check-out bem primitiva. De qualquer forma e sendo junto, pela localizacao e preço vale o custo/beneficio.

Funcionários atenciosos mas gerente não
Infelizmente tive alguns problemas no hotel. Principalmente quanto ao tratamento do gerente . No check in quiseram cobrar 10% que não existia pois a hospedagem foi toda paga pelo site e esse não informava mais nenhum tipo de cobrança. Bati o pé e não paguei e eles depois viram que a cobrança era indevida. Depois me deram um apto que tinha a porta que não fechava. Trocaram de quarto. O tratamento de todos os funcionários do hotel e muito cordial, são muito prestativos mas infelizmente o gerente italiano não e uma pessoa fácil de lidar e me destratou tanto que cheguei a chorar. No último dia me pediu desculpas. Mas não adianta ... deveria não ter feito o que fez . Fiquei mais duas noites na cidade e ao invés de ficar no mesmo hotel eu troquei de hotel. Isso mostra que quem perde é ele mesmo ....

A localização é ótima. Os funcionários do hotel são muito atenciosos. Os quartos pequenos, porém confortáveis. O ar condicionado não é muito eficiente. A decoração deixa a desejar, mas isso é o que menos importou.

Cuidado com as armadilhas
Diz que existe estacionamento: nao é 100% verdade. Fiz ter um convenio com o estacionamento da frente, para 2 vagas. Chegando la, mesmo o dono (um itliano mal educado), dizer que tem uma vaga, o estacionamento não aceita. Tive que buscar outro local, tipo um shopping e claro, com preço mais alto.
