Stayed at hotel Rio for couple nights . The location is superb. However the overall hotel itself is run down. The bathroom smelt like mould, every time the shower was used the water would spill out onto the bathroom floor. The air con was running but didn’t do much to cool the room. It is over priced for what you get.

When we checked in to the hotel, the reception was very rude and no information was given. Later that day there was a different staff member and he was friendly and told us, among other things, what time breakfast was. The breakfast was quite good.

Decently comfortable bed. The A/C blows directly on the bed. The bathroom is tight and shower head needs replaced. But clean and sufficient for a good night’s sleep, which is all I want in a solo hotel stay.
