"A estrutura é ótima, hotel novo, atendeu super bem. Mas falta melhorar a gestão. No horário do café uma pessoa fazendo um barulhão furando ou cortando, avisamos a recepção que o barulho não estava legal, eles pararam por 5 minutos e continuaram sem nenhuma consideração. Numero de toalhas menor que a quantidade de pessoas da reserva, tambem tivemos que pedir shampoo. "
