Pros:

A localização é central à cidade.

Cons:

Uma discoteca em frente ao hotel passou a noite toda a passar musica alta, até as 04h00 da manha, nos 3 dias em que estive no hotel, de sexta, sabado e domingo. nao consegui dormir. as janelas e a cama vibravam com o barulho causado pela discoteca. Não tem pequeno almoço, e nos 3 dias em que estive no hotel não fizeram as camas.
