One can see that the place needs an upgrade especially outside..
The rail nearby can give some vibrations in the room .. but the train comes by only few times

Voltaria
Pros:

Quarto amplo, claro, confortável. Café da manhã bom o suficiente. Funcionários muito atenciosos

Cons:

Tem que pedir para limpar o quarto e se esquecemos, ficamos sem limpeza. Não é uma coisa que queremos estar preocupados em uma estadia
