Duringmy two times to Latin America review trip, I spent a night(ish) at the 80-room TRYP by Wyndham Sao Paulo Guarulhos Airport (GRU). This is the only airside transit hotel at the airport, so there’s a huge convenience factor to that.

Though, it was the only choice for Ben to choose this airside transit hotel as he had an early morning flight, I am so happy to see a hotel review of a non-Hyatt or non-Marriott hotel including those one or two thousand dollar a night hotels. It is a rarity to see a review from a Wyndham hotel by Ben. It would be nice to see Ben review more of these hotels and besides Wyndham it would be even more amazing if he reviewed some hotels by Choice or Best Western, hehe.
I've stayed at the TRYP in Newark which is "unique and urban" as it's an older building in the heart of downtown.
Did you take a look at any of the power outlets? Brazil uses a mix of outlet types and it can vary from 127 to 240v
Agreed. OYO Hotels is also very overlooked. They now have over 1,400 US locations, since their acquisition of Motel6. That's more than Hyatt's entire global portfolio 😉
I’ve actually stayed at a tryp by wyndham before for cheaper price, I just thought it’s a cheaper Fairfield / Hyatt Place and does the trick when needed. That being said, this one is surely the more basic one.
We loved the TRYP Wellington, New Zealand, especially because our room had a washer and dryer inside our bathroom. The Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa is two blocks away.
Comparing this transit hotel with those in Singapore...the TRYP wins. It is ridiculous to compare a transit hotel with any hotel outside security.
I've stayed at two Tryp properties over the years - one in NYC and one in Paris (which is now a Mélia property) and both experiences were great. The more recent stay was in NYC last year, and I was surprised at the size of the room (it was relatively large by NYC standards) and how nice it was, considering it was under $200 for the night and included breakfast. The bed was far more comfortable than what it seems like @Lucky had in GRU!
In my view, this is one of the nicer airside hotels. It also compares favorably with the two hotels closest to GRU (outside security), the Marriott and the Pullman - which both have seen better days. Meanwhile, the Tryp is quite spotless.
In terms of the Tryp brand, it was split into two a couple of years ago. One part went to Melia and the other to Wyndham. Only recently the Melia part dropped the Tryp brand completely. If I'm not mistaken, all Tryps in the Americas went to Wyndham, those elsewhere to Melia. This is similar to the split of Radisson, which still confuses me because they keep using the same name ...
