Grand Mercure SP Itaim Bibi
External doors to balconies on Lowe level floors could not be locked, staff seemed lost to resolve, 3 rooms later it was resolved. People partying on balconies well past 3am in the morning. Extensive building work ongoing next door - avoid at all cost.

Hampton by Hilton Guarulhos Airport
Breakfast buffet look but the cappuccino from the machine came it sweet. Also the shuttle pickup was every hour only which was not useful. If you have difficulty walking long distances, the shuttle drop off location was far from the terminal.
