Much cheaper thank in city, it is close to major highways and provides good base for exploring Lisbon, Evora, and for getting to the airport quickly. The reception staff was extremely helpful. However, the pool was not ready for use, the room needs to be refreshed (carpet, sofa, bedspread), and the cleaning was not very efficient (icky shower curtain, some kitchen utensils unclean, balcony not swept for over a week). Upon leaving the room, it was impossible to close the door without slamming it shut, making for a very noisy situation, especially when busloads of asian tourists noisily left their rooms at 6 o'clock in the morning.
