I would like to write that the staff were friendly and very helpful as they assisted in finding a taxi driver to provide a tour of the city. The food for breakfast was very good and the location was next to an excellent mall. However, the whole experience was clouded the day after I checked out when I received two unauthorized charges on my American Express card. One was for 3500 BRL (USD$700) and the other for 4000 BRL (USD$800). This hotel was the only time I ever used my Amex card in Brazil. Needless to say, any hotel guest must be very careful as the hotel is not a safe location to use your credit or debit card an protection of your information is not a high priority here.
