    We weren't sure what to expect, so the hotel worked fine for a long holiday weekend for a couple of friends. The Hotel is directly on the beach and the main road in front of the beach which has a lot of interesting foot and cycle traffic. We had no problems getting to any of the other sites in Rio from here. The hotel front desk staff was very helpful and was able to arrange transportation to anywhere we wnated to go and give us relevant information. They also arranged a late checkout for us on our last day when we had a late flight out of Rio. The room was unremarkable and relatively small but clean, fine if you only wnat to use it for sleeping. The breakfast was included and was a nice buffet. We had heard about safety concerns in Rio but did not have them at theis hotel.
