"Cama desconfortável, sao duas de solteiro encostadas. Nao teve servico de quarto para a limpeza. Quando cheguei nao tinha sabonete, shampoo, nem papel higiênico. Controle da televisao nao funcionava. Cafe da manha com pouca variedade, porem tudo limpo e organizado e ambiente climatizado. Funcionários atenciosos e prestativos. "
