Minuano Hotel Express próx Orla Lago Guaíba, Mercado Público, 300 m Rodoviária

The rooms are pretty basic. Breakfast was good despite the limited variety, and there isn't much space. The paid partner parking is 100 metres away, and the stretch on the way there feels a bit dicey.

The air conditioner was a built-in window unit. They were doing renovation work during the day, and it sounded like they were going to knock the hotel down. Breakfast was simple but tasty, and the service was generally good. The hotel is old and the cleaning is poor.

I'm recording how uncomfortable my stay at this hotel made me feel. I knew before booking that it might be simple, and that was fine since I only expected to spend a couple of hours there. I didn't expect the experience to leave me anxious, angry, uncomfortable, and unsafe, with those feelings lingering for quite a while. When I entered the room, I couldn't believe what I was seeing. There was dirt on the floor, urine in the toilet, the blankets smelled bad, and the sheets were dirty, as if someone had walked all over the white linen. When I questioned the receptionist, I was surprised again. He said, “your humility is as false as your mouth.” I'm sharing this through this and other channels.

It's very close to the bus station and Porto Alegre's municipal market. The room was clean, service was great, and breakfast was very good. I'd recommend it.
