The rooms are clean and well-maintained. The king mattresses are firm and the bedding of recent vintage. The rooms include space air conditioners, desks, Wi-Fi access, 20-inch TV sets (they´re gradually being upsized), and minibars. Suites add a sink, kitchen cupboards and a separate space with a sofa, table and chairs. The only views from anywhere are of urban Recife. The baths are clean but, stuck with the original layout and fixtures, they betray their pre-hip origins. This is also true of some of the public spaces like the elevators. To retrofit properly would be very costly.
