Sul America Palace Hotel
ibis Styles Confins Aeroporto
The hotel is very outdated. The room had no soap in the shower area. On the positive side, the breakfast wasn't bad and the transportation to and from the airport was very good. Overall though, the Linx Hotel close to Confins airport is a better hotel.
