OYO Hotel Serra das Vertentes

We got there at 9 p.m. and had to leave at 3:50 in the morning. Without us even asking, they made us a full breakfast at 3 a.m. They didn’t ask for a review or anything in return, either. The service was incredible, and the hotel was spotless. The bed linens were really clean. The setup is simple, as you’d expect in a small town, but this was by far the best hotel I’ve stayed in. Highly recommend it.

This is an inn, not a hotel, and it actually cost more than a three-star hotel. Still, it does the job. The breakfast is good, with quality bread and great coffee. The rest of the ingredients are ordinary but fine, and the staff are very polite. There are also two great snack spots right next door. Some things could be better: the old floors look ugly, the shower could be a wall-mounted electric one, which wouldn’t even be expensive, and better bathroom ventilation might help. The bed creaks when you move, and the regular linens aren’t wrapped in bags, so they don’t look freshly changed.

The location is central and quiet, and the staff are polite and friendly. Some rooms are better than others, though, and a few smell musty. The biggest problem is that some guests are allowed to make a racket, smoke, drink, and play loud music in the corridors, disturbing people who want to rest.

The rest of my stay was great, and both the staff and breakfast were very good. The single bed, though, was much too hard and uncomfortable.
