If
you
want
to
be
by
Estoril
beach
this
is
a
good
location
but
unless
you
are
renting
a
vehicle
and
driving
be
prepared
to
spend
at
least
90
min
to
get
anywhere
outside
of
Estoril
by
public
transit.
It's
nearly
2
hours
to
take
the
train
to
the
airport
and
be
forewarned
google
maps
is
terrible
at
giving
directions
for
transit
in
Portugal.
If
you
do
decide
to
fork
over
€350
and
up
to
rent
a
car
for
a
week
then
you
would
be
about
a
25
min
drive
to
anywhere,
including
the
sights
of
Belem,
the
museums
in
central
Lisbon
and
the
large
malls
in
surrounding
suburbs
like
Sintra
and
Colombo.
The
breakfast
at
this
hotel
was
one
of
the
best
breakfasts
I've
had
included
in
my
room
rate
and
I've
stayed
at
about
100
hotels
that
include
breakfast.
Traditional
European
selection
of
cold
cuts,
salad,
fruit,
yogurt
and
boiled
eggs,
a
large
selection
of
pastries
and
bread
products,
and
even
the
option
of
hot
scrambled
eggs,
bacon,
sausage
and
beans.
The
individual
room
was
perfect
for
one
person
and
the
two
twin
bedroom
with
attached
room
with
pull
out
bed
was
perfect
for
the
people
I
was
with
who
had
kids.
The
bathrooms
in
the
main
rooms
feature
the
odd
half
bath
half
shower
style
like
in
most
European
hotels
I've
been
to,
while
the
single
room
had
a
full
walk
in
shower
that
i
much
prefer.
The
downside:
cleaning
staff
are
not
very
good.
If
you're
in
your
room
until
about
noon,
be
prepared
for
the
cleaning
staff
to
skip
cleaning
your
room
altogether.
Usually
when
I
stay
at
major
chain
hotels
like
the
Holiday
Inn,
the
Ramada,
the
Marriott
etc
the
staff
come
back
before
they
put
away
the
cleaning
carts
to
check
if
any
rooms
that
had
do
not
disturb
signs
removed
those
signs.
Here
they
do
not
do
that.
On
the
day
I
really
really
needed
the
room
to
be
serviced
because
it
had
been
4
days,
I
went
down
for
breakfast
and
loitered
at
the
pool
until
1145
hoping
that
the
cleaning
staff
would
clean
my
room
in
that
window
(I
even
out
the
please
clean
room
sign
up).
When
I
went
back
to
my
room
to
shower
and
change
so
I
could
head
out
for
the
day,
I
noticed
the
cleaning
staff
had
seemingly
entered,
turned
off
the
air
conditioning,
and
moved
a
chair
I
had
moved
to
a
different
corner
because
there
is
no
hook
in
the
bathroom
to
hang
towels
so
I
decided
to
use
the
chair.
The
room
next
to
me
was
open
and
had
been
turned
over
in
anticipation
of
the
next
people
to
check
in.
I
figured
if
I
showered
and
removed
the
sign
afterwards
the
cleaning
staff
would
come
back
and
clean
the
room.
They
did
not
and
I
was
stuck
with
a
full
garbage
and
no
hand
soap
for
another
night
because
oddly
the
front
of
house
staff
can
give
you
a
towel
but
they
do
not
have
soap
refill
packets
for
the
bathroom
soap
dispenser.
For
me
this
seems
weird
enough
that
it
knocked
off
an
entire
star
from
my
rating.
Call
me
crazy,
but
if
I'm
spending
money
on
a
hotel
I
expect
to
have
hand
soap!
So
overall
not
the
greatest
location
and
poor
cleaning
check
up
moves
this
from
a
4
star
to
a
3
star
for
me.
