Place is old and sorely in the need of renovation! The toilet back up and was full of fecal matter and we had to move to another room. The other room looks like it had not been renovated for 40 years. They had rugs on the floor that were dirty and smelled like feet. Nobody! Not a single staff member could speak anything other than Portuguese! The only good thing was the breakfast, but it was overcrowded!

Customer service is terrible. Paid for dinner at the hotel and could not get service. 5 tables in the entire restaurant, 3-4 servers working , a bus boy and a bartender. Had to walk around and find a server to get drinks. This is a really low end buffet and even with it being a buffet the people were more worried about being on their phones and talking among themselves. Tried to change currency at the dsk and they charged a really high fee. It was about 12%. Room was clean but not very nice. We stayed at 3 Vila Gale hotels on this trip and they all charged differently, one added a 10% addition “service fee” at checkout. They said it was to recoup the 10% Expedia charged them for making the booking. Avoid Vile Gale properties!

O restaurante do hotel diretamente na entrada deixa o hall tao fedido de fritura q é impossivel nao ficar fedendo ao passar pela recepção. Os quartos tem um cheiro (de mofo?) que causa alergia em pessoas sensiveis. O café da manha é diverso, porém nada é realmente bom. Realmente uma expericiencia a quem de um "Vila Gale"

O quarto aparentemente estava limpo e fechado, mas apareceram algumas osgas durante a noite. Travesseiros extremamente desconfortáveis. Equipe de funcionários prestativa. Café da manhã requer mais opções pra um hotel caro e 4 estrelas. A academia precisa ser reequipada (bicicletas e elíptico com defeitos).
