Had a very small room with a “view” of somewhere of the tech spaces of the building. For the price I paid - I stayed in better conditions. The staff is very friendly and caring, the building is big enough - but that’s about it, unfortunately. Very low value.

4/10 Fair

Lo único verdaderamente bueno que encontramos fue la ubicación. Inmejorable. La habitación tenía vista al mar. Pero fue lo único. La habitación tenía aspecto de viejo. El placar estaba descascarado y con manchas de humedad. Las canillas del baño duras. Había que esforzarse para abrirlas y cerrarlas. La bañera no tenía agarraderas, muy necesarias para personas con dificultades de movilidad, ni alfombra antideslizante El agua caliente tardaba en aparecer. La piscina es inaccesible para personas con problemas de movilidad. Y de un tamaño ridículo. Parece una pileta para niños. El ascensor no llega hasta el piso de ella. Ofrecen un ascensor de servicio MUGRIENTO para completar el trayecto. Nos quedamos solo una noche de las tres reservadas. Nos prometieron un reintegro por el resto, que todavía no hemos recibido.

2/10 Poor

Desgaste total
Lamentablemente fue muy decepcionante mi elección, ya que el hotel tanto en servicio, atención, ubicación y demás fue altamente negativo. Muy mala experiencia ya que pareció un hotel de 2 estrellas o menor en lugar de 4 estrellas como dice ser y motivo por el cual lo habíamos contratado. Las instalaciones son lindas pero el servicio brindado lamentable, desde la atención del personal, el desayuno ofrecido, etc. Arruinaron toda la buena expectativa y predisposición que tenía de las vacaciones. Una gran pérdida de energía y dinero. Tampoco tuve la oportunidad de usar la piscina climatizada ni sauna pues las condiciones y los contingentes hospedados lo hicieron casi imposible. No lo recomiendo en absoluto como un hotel 4 estrellas.

Lo bueno es la ubicacion. Pleno centro. La pileta tiene la misma profundidad que es de 50 cm. El desayuno aceptable. Rescato la amabilidad del personal del hotel.

Habitacion
La habitacion muy standard, sin detalles nuevos, bastante antigua. El resto del hotel estaba bien, teniendo en cuenta la antiguedad del mismo. El precio del estacionamiento en la pagina decia $ 140.00 por dia y me cobraron $ 200.00. Quiza habria que actualizar la pagina.

Hotel con buena ubicacion
Para destacar la amabilidad de todo el personal desde que llegas en recepcion los que ayudan con las valijas los mozos y las mucamas. El hotel tiene buena recepcion. Como saque una oferta estrella parece que no era de las mejores porque la habitacion era interna muy oscura y con un baño de minimas dimensiones y sin frigobar. Tenganlo en cuenta. No me parece un hoyel de 4 estrellas
