I have stayed in this hotel several times over the past 5 years but I have noticed a decrease in room quality, such as old furniture, issues with window opening, toilets that clog easily, loose handles and bad fixtures. However, it is still very comfortable and you can't beat the location. One important recommendation: If your check-out is during the weekend or if you are in a rush, don't forget to ask for express check-out so you can leave the hotel just by dropping your key in a box instead of being in a very long queue and risk missing your transportation or being late for whatever is next in your trip (especially keeping Sao Paulo's unpredictable traffic in mind). You won't be able to get express check-out if you don't sign up for it during check-in.
