This is a business hotel, with no pool and not much in the way of vacation amenities. It's well located close to the center of Rio and has great access to Catete metro station, but the rooms are dated and the layout of the floors is labyrinthine, especially if you happen to be 3/4 of the way around from the elevator. And speaking of elevators, the hotel has two, and during our entire 3-night stay, one or the other of them was out of service. The breakfast buffet was quite nice, and the staff, though there were very few English speakers, were helpful and professional. There was a cardboard box in the closet, about the size of a box of 20 teabags, urging the use of condoms. However, it was empty (I guess the previous tenant finished them off.)
