We got there from a booking.com deal. I was afraid it would be old and ill maintained like the Othons, but I was extremely pleased to see that my fear was unfounded. Even though the facilities were not in pristine shape (I.e. pool had some algae and seemed to lack chlorine, TV was not properly plugged in but easy to fix, shower showed some signs of wear), the overall state of everything was good to excellent. I notified the reception about the pool issue and they promised to look into it, but I didn't have the chance to check it afterwards.
The staff was extremely kind and attentive.
The location is excellent (at least for me): many restaurants and a supermarket at walking distance, drugstore across the street and a 15 min walk to Iguatemi Shopping.
The window glass is not doubled, so the room is a little vulnerable to excessive street noise.
Rooms use the annoying card activated system where you need to leave a card in the slot for appliances to work. Since it affects the A/C, it forces me to rig the system to keep it on.
Free Wi-Fi Internet in the room, but only available to one device at a time.
