Soft Win Hotel São Luis

6/10 Okay
"Checking in was the most horrendous experience I’ve ever dealt with in my life they took copies of my drivers license credit card passport made me fill out numerous documents and I’ve already prepaid for the room absolute terrible customer service. Also the bed had no blanket sheet only and two very small pillows nice clean place, but the amenities were horrible and the customer service is worse. I would not recommend it if you were an American or any foreigner. "
