Hotels con pick-up a Lagoa Santa

The Ibis Styles Confins is a very good choice for a hotel near CNF airport. No surprises--this is a typical Ibis Styles...functional, reliable, and a good value. The hotel was clean, the room was comfortable and quiet, the breakfast buffet was good (and started at 4 am for those with early flights), and the shuttle was generally reliable to and from the airport. The staff was friendly and efficient. The fitness room was small but useful and is open 24/7. Main pluses: Proximity to the airport; clean and quiet rooms Main drawback: There is not much actually near the hotel and not recommended if your intent is to visit attractions in Belo Horizonte since it is at least 20 km from the city. A bit of a caveat though about the shuttle. One of the drivers who typically works in the afternoon sometimes skips a run (based on the schedule prominently posted in the hotel lobby) and will have you wait at or near the van at the airport while he chats with other van drivers. Thus, a maximum 20 minute wait can become a 40 minute wait. This reflects poorly on the hotel even though I think he is actually a contracted employee, but this individual certainly was the exception and not the rule from the staff at the hotel. Bottom line: I would stay at this hotel again if I have flights into or out of CNF.
