Ramada by Wyndham Lisbon
"Great Location, but no shuttle to airport though. The buffet breakfast is great. Housekeeping has room for improvement, we had some clogging issues in the shower and sink. The staff were friendly. I would go back for the location."

Locke de Santa Joana
"No free parking. If the bathroom sink is slow to drain then maybe that's normal. We complained about our sink and they left a card that said it's fixed however, the water was still draining slowly."
