Slaass Hotel

The hotel we are staying at, "Slaass Flat Hotel", seems to be pretty popular. Lately it seems there are more and more people staying here since most of the tables are full at breakfast. The breakfast buffet is pretty awesome though, and I would almost spend a night here just to eat the next morning. There is a conference room available here and even on the weekends there seem to be events, which means you have to get there a little early to get the good stuff.

The hotel actually has apartments--hence the word "flat" in the name--which range from small singles to "luxury" suites with kitchens and doubles with two rooms and a kitchen. It is reasonably priced and they keep it clean, with convenient services (like wi-fi) and a helpful staff.
The elevator is probably one of the most interesting features though. It is one of those old-style lifts where you open a regular door and step inside. From there, a sliding metal safety door closes, so it's not one of those ancient gated elevators, but the style is still a bit more classic than I've ever used before on a regular basis.
There is also a pool, although it is rather tiny and I don't think anyone really uses it. I haven't used it myself, but took a look at it last Sunday and it seemed that the deep end was no more than a few feet at best. I ended up laying back on one of the lounge chairs by the pool and reading my book though. An hour later, I realized that I had gotten a bit of a sunburn. Ouch! Well, coming back from Brazil a bit sunburned is probably better than coming back pale white.
We will be staying here next time we are in Brazil, as it seems to be the best deal in terms of space, convenience and cost. Now I just need to figure out what the heck "slaass" means.
