My stay at the hotel was overall pleasant. The rooms were clean, but they could use some refurbishing. Being in the basement meant there was a lack of direct road views, and the walls were quite thin. The service was a bit hit or miss, with some staff members not being very kind or accommodating, especially for those who didn't speak Portuguese. On the positive side, the location was convenient for reaching appointments and facilities, being close to a large shopping center and in the city center. The dining options were a bit light and basic, with buffet-style meals that were adequate but not exceptional. The facilities were satisfactory but nothing out of the ordinary.

I absolutely loved the hotel's prime location near a large shopping center with plenty of food options, making it ideal for a solo female traveler like myself. The rooms were decent, although they could use some refurbishing, and having a balcony was a nice touch. The service was generally friendly, except for a couple of staff members, but the proximity to the shopping center and the internet connection made it convenient. However, the lack of effort from some staff towards non-Portuguese speakers was a bit disappointing. The dining experience was average, with buffet-style meals that were adequate but not exceptional. The facilities were satisfactory overall.

The hotel is situated in Plano Piloto, close to a major shopping center, making it convenient for appointments and facilities. The neighborhood might not be the best, but the nearby shopping mall offers better options for just a few more dollars. As a single female traveler in Brazil for a month, being in Plano Piloto felt safe, but the surrounding area could be nicer.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The location was convenient, close to a large shopping center with food outlets, making it ideal for me as a solo traveler. However, the neighborhood wasn't the nicest. The rooms were clean but could use some refurbishing, and being in the basement wasn't the best. The service was friendly overall, although the breakfast waiter wasn't the most welcoming. The dining options were adequate but not up to expected hotel standards. On the bright side, the hotel was very close to a taxi station, which was convenient for getting around.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms, while clean and comfortable, were in the basement, and some were not directly facing the road. The balcony was hanging off rails. The service was mostly friendly, except for the breakfast waiter who wasn't very kind. The location was convenient, close to a large shopping center, but there were noise issues from the next room's TV. The dining options were limited, with a rather poor breakfast buffet. The facilities were average.
