Quality Hotel Pampulha
The stay was pleasant. The room was comfortable and the breakfast very good. I was surporised there was no complimentary water provided. Also, the wifi is unusually complicated to access, but the front desk staff helped us and were generally excellent.

Hotel Esplanada
The breakfast is very good; you have juices, coffee, fruit, and eggs. The room is just adequate for the price I paid, although the facilities are a bit dated. The area around the hotel is a bit unsafe at night.
