Descanso agradable
Pros:

Cómodo, limpio, seguro, silencioso durante la noche aún cuando está al lado de la autopista. Cerca del Centro Comercial Cariari que, aunque no tiene mucha diversidad gastronómica, tiene oferta. Al ser un hotel “express” cumple con el cometido. Sencillo pero cómodo para recuperar fuerza y continuar.
El desayuno es muy rico. La cocina sabe lo que hace y también sabe a cariño. La atención de la recepción, de las mucamas, la limpieza… Tienen un equipo bien coordinado para atender a sus huéspedes.
Fui con mi familia y disfrutamos de una estancia más que agradable.

Cons:

En realidad una recomendación: alguna que otra almohada ortopédica para cubrir algún caso especial para la cantidad de habitaciones que hay, podría sumar.

Bien
Pros:

La amabilidad de las muchachas de limpieza

Cons:

Que al desayuno una de las empleadas nos dijo que ya nos habían servido desayuno y que ya habían marcado nuestra habitación , cuando nisiquiera habíamos bajado y nos lo dijo delante de otros clientes y nos sentimos mal .

Hospedaje en la ciudad
Pros:

No es la primera vez que nos hospedamos acá, y es una opción siempre para poder salir de la rutina de la ciudad sin salir de ella. Las habitaciones son acogedoras y tienen lo necesario para pasar una noche o bien varios días. Nos agrada mucho que tenga la opción de late check-out para aprovechar más tiempo en el lugar.

Cons:

Sin quejas de este lugar. Lo recomendamos!
