In the middle on the night there was a random family in the middle of our room. They gave the room to another family while we were in it. The one thing a hotel cannot do. Nothing else than a 'we are sorry' was what we got.

PROS Very nice swimming pool on rooftop, not too deep so child of 6 yo could easily get around. There were quite many people but was not too crowded. Maybe slightly too little space to sit down and chill. We booked mainly due to the pool and expectations are met! We had a room on 15th floor so the views were great. Bed was comfy and very wide. Room was clean. Breakfast had a lot of choice of local and international buffet - everyone can find a choice of their own. Service is very friendly helping with luggage deposit and answering all your questions in English. CONS Our check-in to the room was only possible around 17:00 due to technical issues. Maybe we were unlucky that day, but definitely not expected. Service was trying to save the situation with some good words and friendliness. AC in the room was not working with full power, also you could see wet stains on the wall around meaning it could need a thorough service. Despite the room was properly clean you could already feel the spaces are slightly worn out.
Booked a room here via booking.com Upon arrival in the early hours of the morning, we found the room to be in poor condition, and had evidently not been cleaned properly. Under the chairs there was a lot of dust, old hair, even beetles crawling on the floor, there was a fake eyelash stuck to the wall near the sink in the bathroom and the shower handle would just fall off from the slightest touch. There was no hot water in the shower, the curtains were moldy and the window frames were cracked and evidently at risk of collapse. When we complained to the front desk the next morning they told us they couldn't help us move room or change our booking as the room was owned by someone else, but they did offer to send someone to clean the room. In the end we decided to book a couple nights at the Ibis Budget hotel instead which ended up being more comfortable and far cleaner. Avoid this place.
Room was falling apart water damage, cold shower and lights and air conditioning that didn’t work. My wife arrived on a different flight than me several hours after I checked in front desks staff apparently mistook her for an escort stopped me as I was taking her upstairs and said there was a fee for “guest” if you know what I mean. Completely unacceptable and unprofessional. The only real acceptable thing here was the free breakfast in the morning. It was quite good.
The Good, the Bad, and the Double Ugly: We arrived at the Intercity Manaus at 12:30am last night, so I am motivated to write this review while still staying at the hotel. This is my 12th-15th time in Manaus to fish over the past 20 years. Check-in took 25 minutes for my wife and I, and they still had not checked in my son. At 12:30am mind you, after 3 hour flight from Texas then a 5 1/2 hour flight from Miami. I'm not sure if it's lousy hotel software, incompetence at the front desk, or both. The room is nice enough with a firm king size bed. As we put our stuff up, and then lay down to sleep, it was noticeable that someone had smoked previously in the room. Nothing like a couple of old athletes smelling cigarette smoke when going to sleep after a long flight. So Front Desk service, in that instance, sucked, and failing to thoroughly clean a smoked in room by repainting the walls, changing the curtains, is, well, not very good management. Does anyone like to sleep at the recommended human sleeping temperature of 19-20 C, or 66-67 degrees F? Not with the thin little bed cover most Brazilian hotels give their customers, and intercity is no exception. And aren't Brazilians as big as Americans? Like Anderson Silva and Lyota Machida? Why are the elevators made for midgets? I hope your not claustrophobic when 4-6 people are in those two tiny elevators. How about water glasses in the room? There were two maybe 6 ounce water glasses. I mean they were made of glass, but I would gladly take a 12-16 ounce plastic cup. The free breakfast was good, especially the 3 egg omelette. OK, up to the gym the next morning. Beautiful view from the rooftop, like other Brazilian hotels, lovely pool, and probably the shittiest gym I've seen in a hotel in a long time, even though most 3 star hotels are known for having skimpy gyms. Batteries in the nice internet equipped Samsung TV remote were almost dead. Adjustable weight bench broken. Free weights in terrible condition. 2 running/walking machines don't work, nor does the lights or programs come in in the elliptical trainer. Lot's of neglect by management here too. No air conditioner that I could see in the weight room, but what the heck??!! We're just in the Amazon, the equator you know, and the weight room is on the top floor where the hot air rises. We have another night here, so maybe I will post another improved or even more negative review before we leave.
