This may have been a case of misaligned expectations on my part. I thought it was a small basic hotel but it felt more like a basic private room hostel. The location seemed a bit sketchy and run down. Having never been to Faro, I didn’t know what options were available and this had fair reviews so I selected it. If I were to go back to Faro I’d stay elsewhere. There were larger, more mainstream options in town. They just weren’t listed on Expedia. I’d do ax general hotel search and stay at a different hotel next time.
