Bourbon Convention Hotel Santos

Bourbon Convention Hotel Santos

8/10 Good
"We got 2 rooms booked and my family and I were very happy with the staff. The rooms were very clean and looked new. The only negative comment was that my boyfriend had a knee surgery and it was hard for him to get in and out of the bathtub. Breakfast was great with a lot of options to choose and a section that offers healthy alternatives. We had a good experience staying at this hotel and we’ll definitely come back."
