Não tem conforto e privacidade, mas o preço é justo e banheiro e quartos são limpos.

Pros: Gostei muito da localização, e da limpeza dos quartos e banheiros. Cons: As camas deveriam ter cortina, é o minimo de privacidade e já seria o suficiente. Não gostei tbm de não terem uma rotina para desligar as luzes determinado horário, fazendo com que todos os quarto fossem obrigados e usarem as luzes da sua cama, pois aconteceu com frequencia das pessoas chegarem bebadas de madrugada, ascenderem as luzes e ficarem conversando.
