the hotel itself is not bad. the room that we first got was smelly.. i think it was the carpet. We requested for and got another room which was on the first floor facing the street. Rooms are small but comfortable. Staff is friendly. BUT and this is a big but - the location is very bad. Apparently, this used to be the center of the town but now most of the businesses have moved and this area is full of vagabonds and muggers. The hotel staff themselves told us that its not safe to walk around this neighborhood in the evening. Bang opposite the hotel are a couple of cheap roudy bars which are frequented by the kind of people who would scare the [--] otta you.. And also NOTE - Do not use this travel agency called Blumar travels. OMG!! so bad. I had to wait 45 mins for my private pick up at Rio. and then when i got to SP, the driver didnt show up only. I had to call then in Rio and SP several times from my US cell phone (i have asked Latin Destinations, which is the travel agency i used for my trip for a reimbursement of my phone bill - will update on whether i get it). So at SP the Blumar people tell me that the driver had gone to pick me and my wife up at 8 am when my flight was at 8 pm. The whole purpose of getting a private pick up which is to avoid time delays and line to get cabs was completely lost.
