Pros:

Boas acomodações e excelente café da manhã além da excelente localização.

Cons:

O erro foi meu , mais ao chegar no hotel às 15:30 ainda foram preparar o quarto, mais como vocês mesmos colocam no booking, que devemos informar a hora que chegaremos, e isso eu esqueci de falar.

Cheiro forte de morfo e acomodação ruim.
Pros:

A localização.

Cons:

Cheguei de madrugada tive que ficar no quarto devido ao horário 1:30h da manhã . Dormi mau devido ao cheiro ruim de morfo forte. Tanto na cabeceira como na parede e teto. De manhã cedo, 8h no mesmo dia que cheguei, pedi cancelamento da segunda estadia já que não iria ficar daquela forma. Me informaram que era pelo booking. Fui pra outra estadia… após isso tentei contato novamente pelo booking e o booking informou que tentou contato e acomodação nao respondeu. Apenas quero o justo, o reembolso da estadia que não fiquei devido a condição do quarto.

Pros:

Para min , localização, pertinho da praia de Iracema, perto da padaria, as acomodações muito boas, funcionários muito atenciosos.
Só não gostei de uma coisa, mas eu tinha um compromisso muito cedo e a funcionária não liberou o café as 6;30, mas o cafe muito bom.

Cons:

Podia ter liberado, o café cedo já que já estava para ser servido. Mas já e a terceira vez que min hospedo la, e continuarei min hospedando lá gostei muito.
