Hotel Casa Grande Max

During our second and final day, my family and I gave back the key and went to a bakery for a decent breakfast. The food there was the worst hotel breakfast I’ve ever had: boiled coffee, powdered juice, stale bread, cold cuts that looked old, horrible-tasting sausage, and even the scrambled eggs didn’t look right. We also spent two nights without sleeping properly because people talked and played TikTok videos late at night. The pillows smelled so bad I couldn’t use one, and I couldn’t wash my hair properly because of the shower. I’ve stayed in plenty of old, basic, cheaper hotels, and being simple or inexpensive doesn’t mean a place has to be neglected. To me, the basics are clean painted walls and floors, fresh sheets and towels, a working shower, decent breakfast, and respect for other guests’ sleep. I didn’t find any of that at Hotel Casa Grande de Marília. The walls were extremely dirty and moldy, as if they hadn’t been cleaned or painted since it opened. The sheets were stained and didn’t fit the mattress, so they kept slipping off. The pillows smelled, the blankets had a strong stored-away odor and were impossible to use, and the towels were stained and too thin to dry anything. The mattresses were dirty and smelled strongly of dust. The shower head was clogged and sprayed in all directions, making it almost impossible to bathe. The bathroom was dirty, the toilet seat was soiled and the bowl was stained, and the walls were peeling and moldy. I’ve never felt disgusted to lie in a bed or eat a meal before, but this hotel managed that. I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone.

For the price, I thought the place was reasonable and it’s pretty basic. The real downside was the noise around 3 or 4 in the morning. I don’t know if it came from guests or staff, but it woke me up and I couldn’t get back to sleep. They should put up signs and remind people to keep quiet, at least between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m.

The room I got was in terrible shape. I’ve never been kidnapped, but staying there made me feel like I was being held captive.

A simple, cozy hotel, and Dona Maria is such a kind, warm person. May God always bless you all 🙏
