a decent stay overall

strong location helpful staff broad selection warm room poor ventilation terrible smell

the location was indeed a strong point near avenue liberdade. the staff was helpful and friendly from what i saw. i found the breakfast to have a broad selection of bread and bakery items

my room felt warm and i could not turn the air con on. management seems to determine what is too hot or cold. the ventilation of the room wasn't great so it smelled almost like someone had smoked there
