Solid Hotel Experience

breakfast option fresh pancake excellent staff
The breakfast offered many options. I appreciated the freshly made pancakes. Kids eat free with paying adults, beneficial for my family. The staff in the restaurant were excellent , always attentive to our needs.
The air conditioning hadn't been turned on. I was told to open a window. The opening mechanism was broken and the window was fogged over.

The hotel is near the train station Sete Rios making travel easy. A metro station is within walking distance. Bolt taxi services are also a cheaper option for family transportation within the area.
