Ocean Air cancelled it's flight from Recife to Maceió and so they arranged an overnight stay for my wife and I at the Recife Monte Hotel. I will never fly Ocean Air again either...this was a disrespectful experience.
The Recife Monte has a regular lobby and the staff is very kind.
Don't get fooled cause the good side ends right there. Our room was dark, stinky, dirty and the air conditioning was not working properly. The window reveals an astonishing view to a huge wall like 2 meters in front, and nothing else. The furniture is old and the minibar was literally falling apart. The TV followed the previous standards.
But believe me that the worse part was about to begin when we tried to take a bath. Let me say this: if Hitchcock have stayed at the Recife Monte, he would certainly re-write one of his scripts. Bates Hotel is a "boutique hotel" if compared to the Recife Monte when it comes to the bathroom. When you turn on the lights, you may clearly see what's going on over the ceiling cover, which is even worse when the place looks like cockroaches' Disneyland.
The matress and pillows were as thin as my patience at that time. It was late for changes and we had a plane to catch early in the morning
after. We prayed to survive the night and tried to get some sleep. I am not sure, but I think I dreamt about demolishing the Recife Monte and sueing the air company for millions of dollars. Someone, please, shut down that hell hole. Now!!!!
