I just have to say that there was a bit of a frustrating misunderstanding with the reservation and the credit cards. I was upset but Rodrigo kept working to resolve it. I would like to issue an apology, it was a long drive, but ultimately he got it fixed and we got to stay. Nice room and we are looking forward to the free breakfast and the location is great, right off the highway.

We booked a room through Booking and added a credit card. On the front desk rejected because they did not like the name on the credit card. They did not accept contactless payments nor cash as shown on the listing. Staff was not helpful at all and repeated the same sentence for ages.
