Mixed sex bathrooms
HélioBrazilNão tem conforto e privacidade, mas o preço é justo e banheiro e quartos são limpos.
Gostei muito da localização, e da limpeza dos quartos e banheiros.
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…
