The Property — Scala Motel
The Scala Motel feels like a functional pit-stop for drivers crossing Paraná state. Its lobby is compact and efficient, with tiled floors and a reception desk that processes check-ins quickly. The USP is plain affordability on the BR-376 approach road, suited to budget travellers and road-trippers who need a clean room and a shower, not atmosphere.
Chronicles of Maringa
Maringá was founded in 1947 as a planned city for coffee colonisation, with a radial street layout inspired by Ebenezer Howard’s garden city concept. The cathedral (Catedral Basílica Menor de Nossa Senhora da Glória) is a striking modernist cone designed by José Augusto Bellucci, completed in 1972. Coffee wealth drove rapid growth through the 1950s-70s, and today the city is a commercial and university hub with a strong Japanese-Brazilian community. Its cultural identity mixes pioneer pragmatism with a quieter pace than Curitiba or São Paulo.
Best Time to Visit
Full Maringa guide →Best months
May and August: dry winter months with clear skies and highs around 24°C, low humidity, and no major holidays — comfortable for exploring.
Peak / festival surge
July is peak winter school break in Brazil; hotels fill with domestic tourists visiting relatives or passing through. Prices at the Scala stay modest but availability drops. The Festival de Inverno de Maringá (late July) draws crowds for music and theatre.
Budget shoulder season
March and November offer mild weather and lower rates before Easter and Christmas travel. Fewer tourists, still warm enough for outdoor activities.
Weather & packing
Maringá’s winter (June-August) is dry but can dip to 10°C overnight, so layers are essential. Pack a light jacket and long trousers; leave heavy coats behind.

Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Scala Motel, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request rooms on the 2nd or 3rd floor at the back of the motel (away from Rodovia Silvino Fernandes Dias) — these will have less traffic noise and a better chance of quieter sleep.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid ground-floor rooms, especially those facing the highway — Rodovia Silvino Fernandes Dias carries constant truck and car noise, and ground-floor units also suffer from foot traffic and possible parking lot activity.
Best views
Rooms at the back offer a view of the motel's garden or a quieter residential block behind; front-facing rooms just see the busy Rodovia Silvino Fernandes Dias and likely a petrol station or roadside commercial strip.
Quietest floors
Floors 2 and 3, rear side.
🔊 Noise notes
Main noise source is Rodovia Silvino Fernandes Dias — a highway with 24-hour traffic (trucks, motorcycles). Expect rumble and occasional horns. Some noise from adjoining rooms, as typical in 3-star motels. No bar or nightclub on site, but street noise is the key issue.
Insider tips
1. Park behind the motel (usually quieter and shaded) — ask reception for a bay away from the road. 2. Bring earplugs if you're a light sleeper; the highway doesn't stop. 3. Request a room on the 'fundo' (back side) when booking — many booking systems let you add this note.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available

Money & Currency
Get a travel card →Brazilian Real, BRL
Use bank ATMs for the best rates; avoid exchange bureaux at the airport or tourist spots, which charge poor rates and high fees.

A main course like a pizza or a simple grilled meat dish at a neighbourhood restaurant typically costs R$25-40.
Street food is scarce along Rodovia Silvino Fernandes Dias itself; head to central Maringá or the cathedral area for pastéis and churros.
Supermarket chains like Super Muffato, Pão de Açúcar, and Carrefour are common in this area.
For affordable clothes, visit the Maringá shopping malls (Maringá Park, Catuaí) or the Cidade Canção street market on Sundays.
A single bus fare (R$4.50) is the cheapest way around; from the airport (Maringá–Sílvio Name Júnior) take bus line 203 or a shared ride for about R$15.
Eat at lunchtime self-service buffets (peso por quilo) for good value; use prepaid transport cards for bus discounts; avoid taxis and use ride-hailing apps like Uber or 99.
