For those unfamiliar with the genre, Signuria Dimora Esclusiva is similar to a hotel in that guests occupy several rooms in the building, but unlike a hotel in that there is no staff to assist you. You are given a contact number to text before you arrive, and that person comes to the location to let you in and show you to your room--but you will not see that person again, nor anyone else affiliated with the facility except the overworked woman who assembles a very uninspiring breakfast upstairs in the morning. We were given a single entry key card for two travelers, which was problematic in itself since we had different schedules and had to coordinate arrivals and departures; even worse, the card we were given was very unreliable, and did not readily open either the entry door or the room door. The room features a glassed-in shower surround, which may be fine for those who are untroubled being seen while showering, but less acceptable for the self-conscious, the shy, or not-yet-close friends traveling together. While of a decent size, the room is dominated by a king-sized bed, which leaves little room for maneuvering. Even worse, the room we stayed in (which may not apply to others) had very few flat surfaces, meaning there was nowhere to put one's belongings. Having an electric kettle for tea or coffee was nice, but there was nowhere to plug it in other than in the bathroom, and even that required the cord to be stretched precariously across the sink. The idea of this place is good, but the practicalities still have a number of kinks to work out.
