There is nothing bad to say about this hotel. The staff are always attentive and the rooms clean. Porto Alegre is a great city (one of my favorites in the world), young people, lots of parks, greenery and very safe.
The Sheraton is right in the middle of one of the best parts of Porto Alegre - probably 25+ restaurants, major park 1 block away, shopping center connected (with restaurants as well), full-on breakfast and good internet (some hotels have internet, albeit slow).
I've stayed here from a one-night stay to a three week stay. I never got tired of being there (I hope the staff felt the same about me), but there is SO much to do in the area. The pubs and the restaurants seem to never close and a laundry shop is just 2 blocks away. The park is safe, great to jog or walk and the area is generally easy to get in and out of.
After a couple of days, the staff knew me by name (generally reserved for 5 or 6 star hotels), and they knew my preferences (decaf coffee even!). If I ever had an issue, they adjusted or took care of it right away. As far as hotel staff go, these folks really do a great job.
The connected-mall has many shops, a book store, health food, coffee shops and 10 or so restaurants (including vegetarian).
