Ótimo hotel
Pros:

O spa. O quarto. Tudo muito espaçoso e ao mesmo tempo acolhedor.
Ótimo pequeno almoço.
Fizeram-nos um upgrade gratuito do quarto, o que deixou logo uma boa impressão.

Cons:

Os preços do restaurante Inevitável são muito altos para as refeições servidas. Comemos risoto e esparguete com camarão e já tivemos melhores experiências.

Foi péssima!
Pros:

Não foi possível tomar o café da manhã pois precisávamos sair cedo para Lisboa. O atendimento das meninas da cafeteria e do restaurante foi impecável. Apenas o atendimento delas foi excelente. A comida boa, a gentileza pois eu passei mal.

Cons:

Camas sem fronhas. Não havia sabonete no chuveiro paenas na pia. O aquecimento não aquecia, foi necessário pedir ajuda para mandar um técnico de reparo. Os recpcionistas são mal educados. O valor pago por uma diária seria muito melhor empregado em hotel com "menos status", mas com melhor qualidade de atendimento principalmente.
