My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were lovely, with a stunning view of the Church Nossa Senhora da Candelaria, clean, and spacious, but unfortunately, the air conditioning didn't work well, leaving the room uncomfortably hot. The location was convenient, being close to public transportation and the cruise terminal, but the presence of homeless people made me feel uneasy at times.
