Hotels near Maracana Beach

"Ok hotel on waterfront. But service quality is poor and it is not just language. The night reception fellow spoke enough English once we found him to get us to our room but the woman in the morning had no interest in trying to deal with a foreigner. I speak pretty good Spanish which Brazilians can usually make out. Fortunately, there was a Venezuelan maid who could translate. The hotel receptionist told us Uber did not work there and she had no number to call for a taxi. Fortunately, the Venezuelan let us know that a block away there were often taxis. Both dinner and lunch were horribly slow with staff that did not seem to have any interest in getting meals to the table and the food was mediocre to be kind. Having said this - I don't know whether there are any better solutions if you want to stay near the airport as we did. "

"I needed a place near airport with reliable 24 hour front desk, as I was arriving on a late flight. This hotel had that, and service and breakfast was good. "
