I had a beautiful room with balcony (a free upgrade) where I stayed 2 nights. It is within 10 km of Sintra and closer to 2 nice beaches. It is not recommended to drive to Sintra because it is very crowded and parking is difficult. On each of two days I drove to one of the beaches (Praia das Maças), parked for free and either took a bus to Sintra for 3,3 euros or the spectacular ride on a 1904 tram that travels at a very low speed, it takes 40 minutes to get there, but it is quite an experience for 2 euros.
The hotel serves an excellent continental buffet breakfast with lots of choices, on one day they even had bacon and eggs.
The hotel is very modern with all the room amenities one can wish for. It is perfectly clean, the staff is pleasant and quite helpful. I rated it a 5 on all points.
