O acesso a rua é por uma ladeira bem ingrime que com chuva nao dá pata subir com carro pequeno e cheio. E não aparece essa ladeira e/ou informação
Foi bem estressante a chegada pois havia chovido.
O café da manhã vai ate 09h:30m mas no 1• dia de um feriadao acabou o obo mexido e o único queijo disponivel.
Bolo de chocolate acabou os 3 dias do feriadão.
Café da manhã pode ser melhorado bastante sem maiores custos. Infra da pousada boa.

Quarto super limpo, equipe de funcionários poderia ser mais educados, mais hospederos, abraçar mais os hóspedes sendo mais comunicativos, apresentar o que tem de bom no município,como passeios, o que fazer durante o dia ,durante a noite,recepcionar melhor,bom ar condicionado, estacionamento não tão amplo mais tranquilo, ponto negativo,bom apenas para quem tem carro,tem uma subida altíssima,ruim para quem tem criança e idosos que não tem carro.

Capa do travesseiro estava com cheiro ruim, funcionária da cozinha negou-se a fazer ovos mexidos, que tinha acabado. Tinha uma barata di lado de fora da porta do quarto.
No mais foi ok. Local tranquilo. Se condicionado bom, chuveiro também muito bom.

O hotel te proporciona uma ótima experiência, café da manhã simples mas bem feito com variedades de frutas doces e reposição a todo momento, além disso conta com um restaurante que oferta pratos saborosos e um atendimento impecável de uma moça que não fala português mas que é simpática e prestativa.
Quartos limpos, sauna limpa e piscina sendo cuidada o que nos deixa confortáveis.
A única coisa que sabemos é que a ladeira é muito grande e inclinada então opção de Uber é ruim, mas pra quem gosta de caminhada está ok. Voltaremos mais vezes
