Pros:

Gostamos de tudo no geral! Funcionários muito simpáticos, quarto espaçoso, com a surpresa dos ovos moles!

Cons:

As cadeiras do restaurante/ pequeno almoço fazem muito barulho, talvez colocar aquelas pontinhas nos pés das cadeiras. Assim como o elevador parecia precisar manutenção, pois ouvia-se as correntes do mesmo!
