• Good location & nice lobby.
• I don't like to find the toenail clippings of previous room occupants on the floor.

“This hotel is one of several Othon hotels in Rio. This particular Othon charges high rates. One would think that for the amount of money they are collecting, they could afford some upgrades and repairs to the rooms, hallways, and elevators or maybe replace towels, sheets, and pillows once in a while. The lobby is nice, however, it greatly misrepresents the rest of the hotel. My wife and I were not impressed.”

• The reception area and b breakfast room.
• The bedroom was very shabby and basic.

“It was very deceiving, the lobby looked nice, but when I entered the room I was very disappointed. The bedrooms need updating, and the carpet on the corridors need to be changed.”

• Location, friendly, helpful, etc.
• All the beds in Rio seemed uncomfortable. Not just them.

“Great value for the money. Great staff. Never settle for first price on any taxi ride.”

• The price seemed good because the location was great.
• The a/c didn't work and the bath tub was stained and the bath tub curtain had a lot of mildew.

“The location was great. The room was very quiet. The price was cheap compared to other hotels. The staff was friendly but non responsive to my complaint about the a/c not working in my room. The bath tub was badly stained and the bath tub curtain had a lot of mildew. The sheets on the bed were so thin that I could see the mattress through the sheets.”

• The staff was very helpful and accommodating - and a great breakfast.
• It has seen its better days - A little bit of a walk from attractions.

“If you are looking for a hotel to stay in during your visit, I highly recommend the California. It's not the Ritz, but it's not the pits, either. The rooms are not fancy - but who goes to Rio for the hotel room? I enjoyed my entire stay, although the phone calls were pretty pricey.”
