VIP Executive Santa Iria Hotel

Efficient check-in, spotlessly clean room. Although an older style hotel there was no musty smell in either the long corridor to the room or in the room itself. Happy to provide a kettle when we requested it which arrived within 5 minutes. Great to have chairs to sit in and relax. Next to a busy road but no interruption to a comfy night's sleep.

The property is well kept but showing its age. a varnish crew to spiff up some of the wooden features would help. It was fairly quiet even though you could hear voices in the adjacent room and the plumbing could use some sound isolation. The breakfast buffet is excellent except for the coffee machine. the coffee is over cooked and i you want just water for tea, yo really need to ask for it from the hostess. Unfortunately smoking is a strong habit in Portugal so opening the window some tomes invited the stench of tobacco and some of the guest smoke in the rooms so you had to walk through the stench of tobacco at times. The staff was super friendly and helpful… they sent a taxi for me when I felt I could walk no longer. they spoke english tons better than my Duo Lingo training provided.

We stayed the night after flight before heading to our roadtrip. The room was very comfortable to use, big enough, a lot of places to put our bags, clothes, self-care products etc. Extra 10 points for bathrobes!

The room was fresh smelling, the bed was big and comfortable. The safe worked. Liked being able to take a bath and slip on the bath robe and slippers. The bar was nice to relax in too.

The property had good size rooms and was clean. It was comfortable and adequate.
