Avaliação Gamboa rio

Começarei pontuando que os funcionários do hotel são mal educados, a maioria nos tratam com antipatia, falta profissionalismo para lidar com os clientes. Principalmente a funcionária Elida que supervisiona o café da manhã, totalmente invasiva ao abordar o cliente. Quando cheguei ao hotel paguei uma taxa para dois dias de café da manhã, visto que não tinha solicitado na reserva… No momento do café ela veio questionar se eu havia pago, insinuando que eu não poderia tomar o café pelo qual eu paguei! Gerou-me um certo constrangimento sem necessidade! Quanto ao quarto, o ar condicionado é ruim, a cama é dura e o banheiro estava com vazamento. A localização do hotel é tenebrosa, ambiente insalubre, moradores de rua por toda parte, muitos usuários de drogas, me senti na Cracolândia! Tive que ficar em alerta sempre ao entrar e sair do hotel, o tempo todo com preocupações! Elevador também é PÉSSIMO! Lento, barulhento, escuro, apertado e velho! Tomei um susto ao usar pela primeira vez, além de ser barulhento, ele treme, senti que iria cair a qualquer momento. Recepção sem segurança alguma, sem fiscalização decente, qualquer um consegue entrar e prejudicar os hóspedes facilmente. Não volto e nem recomendo para ninguém! Melhorem!

A pior esperiência em hospedagem da minha vida.

Foi a pior esperiencia que já tive na minha vida. Paguei por 4 diárias, utilizei apenas na noite que cheguei porque era um quarto de motel com rouparia super gasta e encardida, colchão emborrachado e duríssimo, mobiliário antigo e com aspecto nojento. Fiz chekin na noite do dia 03/12 e fiz chekaut na manhã do dia 04/12, eram 4 diárias e não me reembolsaram nenhum valor. Tenho 52 anos e essa foi a pior esperiência de hospedagem da minha vida.
