Overall hotel looks nice. Location is excellent if you are not looking to be close to Copacabana. Front Desk staff could improve by at least smiling. They were so serious. Breakfast was excellent.

Do not stay in this hotel!!!

Staff does not speak English. Fitness room did not have towels and water. Even worse the ac was not work in there what made impossible to workout with an inside temperature of 100F. I need to change rooms as my first one had short circuit. I paid for executive room and got this condition.
