The hotel is old but has some good updates. Love the shower. Does have a limited amount of outlets. I loved the free breakfast and the restaurant food is good and not overpriced. It’s a big city and you will occasionally hear the traffic. They don’t have parking but work with a local which is around the corner.

Hotel was at best ok. Rooms were so stuffy and hot. Internet slow, breakfast was alright. No elevators so have to drag if you have heavy luggage. You have to pay for parking but needed to remind front desk it was part of our itinerary. Staff were all very helpful and sweet. The location is very central to everything we wanted to visit, which is why we picked it.

This Hotel has a parking área close by. In front of this hôtel, they have an excellent Argentine restaurant. It lack an elevator so if you have leg issues ask in advance for a first floor room. The personnel is excellent and helpful.

The bed and the shower were very good. The breakfast was varied and the staff helpful. The pool was disappointing, it really is only for kids to play in. The location is good and the price is right!

Our room’s bathroom’s ceiling had black mold. Other than that, it was good. Reception and staff were excellent and friendly. Restaurant was very good as well.

Good but needs improvement

The check in person was a bit inexperienced but courtous. The place is clean but all the furniture in the common areas are very dirty. And please put a reading chair in the room. Our bathroom was new and beautiful. The breakfast was delicious.
