Pousada Boulevard
I really liked it. The cleanliness is very good, and the staff is great. The only thing I didn't like was that the room I stayed in didn't have a mirror, making it difficult to put on makeup. There's also no hairdryer in the rooms. These are small things that make a big difference. Luzia
