Igreja de Nossa Senhora da Conceição

Clean, convenient location, friendly knowledgeable employees.. only no restaurant.. but had breakfast buffet daily

While the location is easy to taxi to all major sites and the gardens, pool and setting are good the hotel is very tired. We had a garden suite and our view (seen below) was of weeds and the room itself was incredibly tired, felt dark with the windows blowing open and roof had water damage. Breakfast was a mass attack with conference attendees and wedding guests so very little service around for coffee or extras beyond the buffet. The main house was a series of spectacular rooms with aging furniture that while period were showing signs of their age, both in terms of comfort and looks. The hotel has the potential but alas is like a visit to an overused hotel in need of investment. Maybe 4 star but definitely not 5 and had it been marketed as that we may have given a better rating.
