Top South America Hotel Reviews

Melia Paulista

10/10 Excellent

"Great location, good dining options, friendly staff."

Rochester Classic

8/10 Good

"The property is clean, and very well located for dinning, shopping, cultural life, touristic attractions. It is very important to know, if you decide to rent a car, that the property has NO PARKING available and there is NO STREET PARKING AROUND! There are several parking garages around but they are very expensive to the tune of $ 30/day. On the website the property made it look like there is self parking available but failed to state that it is ONLY in those very expensive garages."
