Nossa estadia foi muito boa! Observei alguns pontos que podem ser melhorados, como mais limpeza nos banheiros, e melhores condiçoes do colchão/cama box. Suas laterais estavam rasgadas, não causando boas impressões. No mais, tudo nos atendeu! Esperamos voltar assim que possível. Abraços e sucesso!!

O acesso a rua é por uma ladeira bem ingrime que com chuva nao dá pata subir com carro pequeno e cheio. E não aparece essa ladeira e/ou informação Foi bem estressante a chegada pois havia chovido. O café da manhã vai ate 09h:30m mas no 1• dia de um feriadao acabou o obo mexido e o único queijo disponivel. Bolo de chocolate acabou os 3 dias do feriadão. Café da manhã pode ser melhorado bastante sem maiores custos. Infra da pousada boa.

Quarto super limpo, equipe de funcionários poderia ser mais educados, mais hospederos, abraçar mais os hóspedes sendo mais comunicativos, apresentar o que tem de bom no município,como passeios, o que fazer durante o dia ,durante a noite,recepcionar melhor,bom ar condicionado, estacionamento não tão amplo mais tranquilo, ponto negativo,bom apenas para quem tem carro,tem uma subida altíssima,ruim para quem tem criança e idosos que não tem carro.
