Foi uma estadia agradável e tranquila.
Pros:

A localização é ótima, uma vez que o hotel proporciona estacionamento gratuito e também tem acesso a bons passeios a pé.
Gostei da simpatia dos funcionários e do ótimo pequeno almoço.

Cons:

Apenas foi menos agradável acordar muito cedo devido ao barulho dos vários peregrinos que chegaram sábado de madrugada. Mas foi só no sábado e não é problema direto do hotel, deve-se à sua localização que sendo ótima para quase tudo, tem apenas esse contra que é perfeitamente ultrapassável.
