The cable car up Sugarloaf was a hit with the kids, and the views from the top were breathtaking. Staff gave us clear directions. Affordable prices, and the location near the beach and metro made everything more convenient.”

Showers and toilets were well-maintained, and the fast Wi-Fi kept us connected. The organized staff gave us great city tips. We loved the bar's caipirinhas during happy hour.
