Not bad
The hotel is the less-nice section of the Holiday Inn that it is housed in. This means that the rooms are not as nice but the amenities (pool, bar, dining room) are great. Our room had a broken lock and was missing towels and bedding when we arrived. The towels and bedding were resolved quickly, the lock never got fixed. The next day the cleaning staff cleaned up our room and took the used towels but didn’t replace them, leaving us with two towels for a family of 4.

This hotel was in Gaia a district near Porto. I didn't realize that it was not in Porto when I booked but it turned out to be a great stay. The location is quiet and we got to Porto using Uber daily. We needed 2 bedrooms since we have kids and it turns out it is not too easy to find affordable 2 bedroom hotels/accommodation in Europe so I was happy to find this residence. It was comfortable and clean. My only negative is that I requested fully stocked kitchen and indeed we were provided with some cutlery and crockery. There were no sharp knives to cut food and we did not have dish soap or sponge or paper towels which is usually a requirement, I would think, of a kitchen. Regardless we made it work and had a great stay.

I had an inconveniece with my car parked in the garage. When i left after my check out i have noticed a damage on my rented car. i made a police report NPP 220982/2024. please check in the cameras on 12/05/2024 between 1:00 and 3:30am and you will see any guest car damaging my car without notice you. I am fully convinced because i stop at property around 1 am and i checked my car around once i'd return it to the rental company at 4am...for this reason i would like you check the cams placed into the garage to check the exatly time ohter guest went out because when i left no more car was parked beside of mine. MY CAR WAS A "3008 PEUGEOT", color GRAY, plate number BH-65-UR and my room number was #614. Thank you! Raphael Oliveira
