We booked a triple for my husband and I so we would have space. We were put on the 2nd floor, 2 levels below the lobby but were told oit would be fine. I wasn't feeling well so I tried to go to bed early only to hear muscle cars revving their engines and dogs barking continuously. But i also heard this loud stomping and couldn't figure out what was happening so after an hour of torture i called the front desk to learn they have 2 dance shows each night above our room. When i brought this issue to the hotel they did move us the last 2 nights to a quieter room but only gave a small discount on the first night instead of comping the entire night. Besides the insufficiency of their customer service, the rooms are basic and the breakfast is fair, some in our friend group called it bad. I think the people working there are trying but there is a lack of understanding expectations.

Modern hotel on Lake Argentina

Rooms are clean, modern, and large, but the bathroom was small and cramped. Wifi was poor when we were there, but it apparently was an issue with the provider so it might be better other times? Breakfast had a lot of options. Laundry is hilariously expensive. Location is beautiful.

A Negative for Hotels.com

There was a mixup with hotel.com. We had organised and paid for a Superior room and was given a Standard room. We were unable to rectify the issue. Other than that the hotel was efficient and helpful and a reasonable place to stay.
