The staff at the Mercure were very friendly and helpful. They deserve a better hotel. The rooms were in better condition than I'd imagined with bedroom, bathroom and large lounge/kitchen. The utensils are sparse in the kitchen area with barely enough cutlery and plates. You may wonder why the gas hob is so clean - that's because there are no pans to use on it! Breakfast is very mediocre but with a supermarket only a few minutes walk away, you are better off buying your own.The lighting arrangement in the corriders is very bad. They're activated by motion sensors but unfortunately they are not frequent enough. A lone female might feel rather vulnerable getting out of the lift or opening their room door to complete darkness. Jundiai, I suppose, is a typical Brazilian town but you still don't expect the nightclub right behind the hotel with music from 9pm - 5am Fri./Sat. - followed by gunfire, cars crashing, shouting and screaming. We slept right through it! - but our neighbours were awake all night and a bit spooked. As I said, 'An interesting place!'
