Nice but beware they charge for everything
Check in was easy. They spoke English. You can tell that they are trying to save money. They charge for everything. No iron or ironing board.

Hotel was good. I stayed here many times. Friendly staff and location is great.But is is a bit outdated and needs refurbishment as furniture / bed is becoming out of style. Also kitchen was not well equipped and missing cooking pans

Well located apartment hotel close to restaurants
It’s a nice hotel but the bathroom was a bit run down. There’s a microwave and hot plate included. A few sparse cutlery and plates. No coffee maker or tea pot in room
Breakfast included in my rate. Was there over a week and buffet was exactly the same. Variety would be nice. Nice assortment of fruit. 2 cold cut turkey or ham. Lots of bread. Waffles but nothing to put on them
Staff is really limited with English.
Pool nice but the entire week I was there the jacuzzi or perhaps mini pool was covered with a tarp with no one around giving it. Made area look a bit grimy.
It is comfortable for sure.
The noise in the room was loud from something on the room or perhaps air conducting next door

Don't believe the star rating
Opinions are based on expectations. I think this hotel was rated a 3-4 star property, but it is clearly not. I travel internationally every month, and this was my most disappointing stay in years. Rooms were old (furniture cheap, phones with static, carpet stained, internet slow), and service was poor (Room Service did not speak any English). I know hotels in Sao Paulo are ridiculously overpriced, but almost $300 for this room at this hotel was larceny.

Looks better from the outside
NOTE; YOU WILL NOT GET REWARDS CREDIT FOR BOOKING AT THIS HOTEL. I didn't find this out until I called to ask where my "reward" points were for a 4-night stay here. I wouldn't have wasted my time booking with this website if I'd know it counted for nothing in my account. This hotel looks nice from the outside, but the rooms are rather shabby and cramped. Most Holiday Inns have nicer rooms The carpet is worn out, the "bedroom" is about a foot wider than the bed, the internet connection barely works (when it works), the couch looks like something from a college dorm, the elevators are tiny and extremely slow, and the TV is old-fashioned tube style. Other than that, the free breakfast is great.
