OYO Pousada Maré Mansa

Really good.

The room was a letdown. The clear glass window meant we had to cover it for privacy, and there was no proper mirror for getting ready or checking an outfit, just a tiny one above the bathroom sink. There was only one outlet, behind the TV, so we had to unplug the TV to use it. The bathroom had no shower enclosure and got extremely wet when we bathed. There wasn't even a floor cloth to dry our feet before walking back into the room, so I had to ask for one. There was nowhere to hang wet clothes after coming back from the beach. The bathroom smelled bad and had caked-on dirt, and the minibar was rusty. At least our car wasn't left on the street. Breakfast was decent, and the service wasn't bad either. But this place isn't cheap, and I stayed with my family and children, so they should make improvements. I hope they take this feedback on board. Honestly, I wouldn't recommend it or return.

The TV and pillows were good, and the air conditioning worked despite being old. The rest of the room felt pretty bare: the bed had only sheets, no mattress or blankets, several doors were broken, and there were hardly any outlets. The shower had a plastic flush mechanism, and the low windows facing the corridors had no curtains, so a lot of light came in. There was no complimentary bottled water. At breakfast, the sides and protein options weren't appealing, though the fruit, bread, cake, and coffee made up for it.

There was nowhere to store or hang clothes, so I had to leave mine on the table instead of the floor and drape my towel over a chair. The mattress was so soft that my back felt wrecked. The TV screen was damaged, and the minibar took almost a whole day to chill a bottle of water. I wasn't happy with the room.
