Four Points by Sheraton Matosinhos

A truly American hotel in Portugal. Tea/coffee service and mini-fridge in the room as well as free parking, sufficient linens for each guest and wash cloths. There were welcome cookies and water in the room. Bathroom was very thoughtfully redone and there were lots of electrical and charging options as well as a large window that tilted open to allow fresh air. Lots of options to control the level of lighting in all areas. Although I was not there on business this time, it would be a very comfortable room for a business traveler. Lots of seating options, large closet with iron and safe, almost no street noise when the windows are closed and sufficient space for the luggage of 2 people (but probably not 4). Very friendly and professional staff. The other guests seemed friendly and happy to be there. If you stay in enough hotels in Europe you’ll appreciate that exchanging smiles and greetings in the hallway can be uncommon - not so at this hotel. Genuinely happy guests! The bar/lounge area seemed popular among other guests. Lots to do in the surrounding area!

I did not stay at the hotel and am responding on behalf of the guests I booked in. I had really good feedback about the hotel as a whole but the breakfast was a big hit and everyone enjoyed it.

It was conveniently located, just a short walk from the beach, and next door to a supermarket! It has its own cafe bar that serves food all day, and is also surrounded by local eateries, so we were spoilt for choice. The staff were very polite and helpful, and the whole place had a clean, fresh smell. We especially enjoyed the convenience of spending some time in the sea, and being able to clean up back at the hotel!

The breakfast was very good, the omelettes were particularly good. The location near the beach was perfect, just one block away. The tram and bus stops was also very close by. The staff, especially in reception, were very helpful. Loved the little touches like the free cordial drinks available in the reception area. The rooms themselves were a good size and the kitchenette a useful addition.

Room was bright,airy and quiet,fair breakfast selection with something for all tastes,the bar area was very nice with a large array of drinks and a good food menu,very friendly and helpful staff,close to beach and restaurants
