In Santos I also booked the Mercure Santos. I have had a great stay at the Mercure by Frankfurt Airport on a layover and had a great experience there. I have found that by requesting what you want leaves room for less disappointment.

In Sao Paulo I got the room with Breakfast for $82 a night and it comes with an electric stove, two twin beds, a bathroom with a shower. The hotel also has an indoor pool Fitness Center and Sauna. For $82 a night with breakfast I am not complaining. Heck I'm going to be out most of the day sightseeing.

In Santos I got the Mercure for $125 for the night before the cruise and the room is a suite with a separate living room and bedroom and balcony. Its literally right on the beach and its about 4 miles from the pier and close to shopping. So it fits our needs.
