I get used to Holiday Inn Express hotel chain and this hotel is in line with many many other HIEXs. Breakfast included hot dishes and fruits, but still the same limited style one.
Pros:
- large room (for HIEX standard). plenty of space and good basic amenities;
- nice location in business district, a lot of restaurants nearby, area seemed to be safe enough (in comparison with the centre of Sao Paulo);
- attentive personnel, their English was good enough;
- the stadium of Palmeiras is in walking distance;
- free in-room internet (but only slowest option is free).
Cons:
- 150 USD per night for a 3-star hotel is not very valuable rate, though it's absolutely common thing in Brazil;
- strange insect was observed in the bathroom;
- in-room safe is not laptop (15 inch) sized.
