Overall, I enjoyed my stay. The room was nice and most of the people who worked there were very kind and helpful. The location was great. I believe I got a "city view" room, which turned out to be an alley. The pool is small but nice and clean. I'd recommend this location. I do wish the staff were more diverse.

Great location. Well equipped. Best of all it was heavy rain and we were soaked on our return to get our luggage and head to the airport. They offered a hospitality suite for a quick shower and change. Couldn’t have been a better choice.

They had no record of the room we booked using Expedia points. We were lucky they were able to find a tiny little room for us. Not sure I trust Expedia enough to ever book through you again. Helen Prankie

I love everything about this hotel -- from the courteous, knowledgeable, friendly staff, to the rooftop bar and their restaurants! I didn't have an ocean view but it didn't matter. I just went to the top swimming pool, and/or walked out the front door. I will stay here always!

Location excellent, room excellent, breakfast buffet excellent. Hotel provided safe and secure environment to enjoy Rio for a 4 day stay in the city. Only suggestion for improvement: schedule the “hospitality” rooms availability for late check out rather than “first come first serve” arrangement. Can be stressful waiting if a flight has to be caught
