    Brisa Barra Hotel
    Expedia Verified Review…
    1 / 5
    The property was dirty. There was stains on the sheets, hair all in the sink, and the overall cleanliness was poor. Additionally, they gave us a room key for a room where there was still guest in! We opened the door on a female changing. She came out and verified that they are still guest and not checking out.The bellman just shook his head as if this is a regular thing and laughed it off. He then went to get us a new room and room key. This incident made us feel very unsafe. As a result, we ended up checking out shortly after and lost out on the money for the three days we paid. I do not recommend this hotel! They didn't even apologize for the mix up.…
