Very Good

Breakfast was very few choices especially for vegetarians. If you didn't consider breakfast, its a nice hotel with large rooms, beautiful views of lago Argentino, and safe parking.
Nice hotel with great panoramic views of Lago Argentino and the mountains beyond. Friendly and helpful staff, easy parking, and a short walk to town. Room was comfortable and clean, though we did have to open the window to air out the musty smell. Overall, a great place to stay at.
Friendly staff and clean room. Our room had an issue with a running toilet and a bathtub that seemed to have a leak in it but it was overall clean and comfortable. Beds were very comfortable. As far as the location, a bit of landscaping would help improve the property a lot.

Not as clean as pictured, breakfast was minimal, wouldn’t recommend
Very nice staff, great breakfast!! Clean and very spacious room. I slept so well on the comfortable bed. Only complaint is that the whole bathroom gets wets during showering because the wall isn’t long enough
Beautiful location and hotel with breathtaking views of the lake!

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
The room felt massive and empty, and the building is cavernous. Everything echos. You can hear people opening and closing doors all night. I kept waking up. You can also hear people theough the drain pipes jn the bathroom. I could hear a conversation of the people in the room next door. Good for a cheap stay, but not if you are a light sleeper
Lovely lady cation on the lake. Longish walk to downtown around 2 miles.
Absolutely terrible breakfast. Someone whisked away the jug of water even as I was filling my cup because the clock struck ten and before that they had no clean cups or glasses for coffee or juice
Very nice staff. Clean comfortable room with a nice view of the lake and a good breakfast buffet. Very good value at $100 per night
