For Brazil, this was a very nice hotel. The room had hot and cold running water in the sink, an American style shower head, without all of the wire sticking out, and even a hair dryer available. The view was fantastic over the ocean, highly recommend the ocean view. We were on the 9th floor. The room was spacious and there was plenty of space to hang your clothes. I will give it above-average, but if you are accustomed to Five Star Quality hotels in the United States and others abroad, this is not the same. I doubt though, that you would find it much better on this strip of hotels on the Beira Mar.
