"The hotel has a convenient location and its staff provides excellent service. The gym equipment is old and none of the machines and equipment work. Good option in Paulista but a pricey one."
"Love the location. Conveniently located. I do have one complaint... Leaving us a complimentary bottle of water that was already opened and I assume filled with tap water. Otherwise I highly recommend this hotel."
