The complimentary breakfast was good and I liked the view from my room. The bathroom was not clean and the pillows were completely flat.

Rede Andrade Hangar
A hospedagem foi Ok. O prédio estava em reforma. Os quartos nao estavam 100%. Diria que estavam 60%. Necessitam de ajustes. Mas o café da manhã foi otimo e as pessoas da recepção e demais funcionários foram ótimos também.
