The palace might be the only nice thing in copacabana and I still would never stay there. Copa sucks. It is literally the same since the glory days in the 50s and not in a good way. The same buildings plus 60 years of wear and tear and neglect and graffiti. Old people still flock there because it represents an ideal in their mind that was true at one point. But nowadays? Copa sucks.
