I had a lovely stay at the Santa Teresa Hotel RJ - MGallery. The hospitality and charm of the hotel were great, but there were a couple of drawbacks. While the location is beautiful and gives a great view, my room left something to be desired with its lack of natural light. Overall, it was a nice experience filled with good moments and a few minor inconveniences.
