Mercure Salvador Rio Vermelho

Decent but not worth the price   The hotel is OK overall, but it doesn’t really deliver what it costs. The breakfast and pool area are nice, but the new towel system — where they leave only two pool towels per room — is really inconvenient. The Wi-Fi is terrible and works only about half the time, which makes it frustrating if you need to stay connected. The property itself is clean but long overdue for an upgrade. With better maintenance and service improvements, it could justify its rates, but right now it falls short.

I've stayed here for two nights...basic room, not so clean...this is not a Mercure Hotel level for sure...i've been in many Mercure Hotel all around the world and this is the worst...the only good thing is breakfast...they don't have umbrella to borrow you if it rains (it rained two nights on two)...for the price i paid, compared to brazilian cost of living, they should have given me the umbrella...too expensive for the hotel it actually is

Hotel common areas and rooms are in excellent condition. The breakfast buffet is really great and pool area phenomenal. Only down side was the shower controls for hot water were quite unpredictable. Scalding hot or tepid cold...you need to turn dial almost fully cool then wait 2 minutes before adjusting it a litttle...then get in the shower. Super slick shower tiles....kind of like standing on black ice so we were all very careful. We had 5 rooms for our group and each guest reported same issue so perhaps the hotel can get the plumbing checked. Otherwise a really great stay.

I liked the beautiful view of the pool and beach. But I did not like that the pool was shaded by 2 pm as it made the water cold.
