"A pousada é bonitinha e bem limpa, porém é muito desconfortável. Eu paguei por um quarto com cama de casal e recebi um quarto com duas camas de solteiro unidas por um lençol fino e quando questionamos, disseram que era padrão, todos os quartos são assim. Além disso, o chuveiro é muito fraquinho. Disseram que trocaram durante nossa ausência mas continuou igual. A gente só precisava de um bom banho e uma boa noite de sono, não conseguimos nenhum dos dois."

"This is a great hotel. Everything is great including the room, the staff and the amenity. The only downside is that Uber drivers can not find this hotel easily as the Google map would direct them to a side door that is always closed, they have to take a big detour to find the way come into the hotel. It happens to all six of my Uber drivers."
