Out of the 6 hotels we stayed at during our visit to Portugal, this was the most expensive and the one that we rate the worst. It was a new hotel but didn't live up to expectations. Staying near the airport obviously limits the ability to walk to conveniences, but we expected our hotel stay would be more enjoyable. Instead, our room was next to an ongoing convention. The DJ was on the other side of the wall from our room. The pounding from the bass was intolerable. The front desk said it would stop soon, but when they went to verify they were told it wouldn't end until midnight. We had to repack our belongings and move to a new room. Upon entering the new room, there was a stench. We opened the window but it turned out the sink in the room (which is not in a separate enclosed bathroom) was clogged and the stench was likely coming from the sink. We didn't want to switch rooms again, so we just kept the window open. The one thing we did enjoy was the Room Service order, which was very good. We tried to order the same sandwich the next day at the restaurant, but were told you can only get it at the bar, even though it is the same kitchen for both. We ended up ordering an expensive meal in the restaurant, which was average quality, even though it was our most expensive meal in 2 weeks in Portugal. The "free airport shuttle" didn't show up and we had to walk to the terminal. So much for the convenience of the "5-star" airport hotel. Never again.
