The stay was excellent, breakfast included. The hotel seemed to cater to older retired couples, hence the rooms were more like a single room, with a large queen size bed occcupying it. Air conditioning and clean bathrooms made the stay worthwhile.

However, I was supposed to be there until either Thursday or Friday, was not entirely decisive about the departure date since I wanted to visit Punta del Este. The owner agreed to pencil me in until Friday, which is the only reason I agreed to leave my other hotel and stay there.

When I returned Thursday morning after staying at my cousins rented apartment, since they didn't want me walking back alone at night. I found all my belonging were no longer in the room. I found that they had rented the room to someone else and that I had until 3pm to collect my items.

I didn't make a stink about it just because I could stay with my cousins, they had an extra bed in their rented apartment. The lady then had the nerve to give me her business card as if I would stay there again. I guess I would have been pissed if I was there alone and had no place to stay. I'm not sure how difficult it is to find a nice hotel a day before the weekend, when everyone from Montevideo drives down.

Unique Qualities: Excellent room service, clean bathrooms. Showers have a divider, meaning run-off water does not drain into the middle of the bathroom. I hate that!!! haha. The water drains where it should, in the shower drain. Mini-fridge to put items as well.

I found some of the cheaper hotels (13 bucks a night) are basically just a bed and bathroom. Not entirely nice, but if you want to relax in your room after spending a day at the beach, I suggest to splurge for a little more expensive room.

Comparison: more expensive than average
Price: US$20-40
Theme: Hotel

Review Helpfulness: 2.5 out of 5 stars
