This is a good place to stay as a starting point for other adventures. I was going to the Pantenal and the hotel is right across from the Cuiaba airport. If you don't have much baggage, you could walk, but you have to cross a busy street. Taxi was 23 reas. The hotel is very basic but spotlessly clean. The rooms are tiny, so you'd better like who you're rooming with! Plenty of hot water, AC works well, and the bed is decent. There always was someone who spoke English. Booking through Hotels.com saved me some reas! There are a couple of restaurants within easy and safe walking distance, as well as a supermarket. Breakfast was included with my reservation. I wish they had a pool. I would stay there again.
