Ribeiro Hotel

The rooms are clean and stark, as befitting a room for pilgrims to the Sanctuary of Fatima. I would rate them higher except for the internet provider they use. It’s a typical example of cost-​shifting — the hotel get a better rate for their service and the customer pays for it by having to fill out a long form revealing way too much. The provider wants to know your email address, home address, cell phone number, date of birth, and much more.
This is the only place in Portugal I’ve come across this monstrosity and hopefully I won’t be finding it anywhere else I may stay. I complained about this but the hotel folks seem to think it’s the normal procedure for internet access. So we left after one night (we’d planned to stay two.).
