Property needs updating. Front desk tries to help but very understaffed by one person only. Breakfast was nice. Location is good too. Rooms are extremely basic and sparsely furnished.

It’s super central so give plenty of options for dinner at night and being dropped by the shuttle from the airport. Lucas was very helpful and nice. Property need some investment. More and more hotel are being built in the calafate area and the hotel is very dated. A bit like a 70/80s hotel. Also the 10am check out was a surprise…I had a bit of time on my last day and decided to take time after 2 intense weeks and targeted to check out at 11am but was asked to hurry at 10.30..:) despite the hotel not looking very busy.

8/10 Very good

Simple, clean property but over rated & very overpriced for a 3* motel. Good Location: only 1-2 block walk to main street & parks. Simple basic breakfast. There was No conditioner nor tissues in the room. Room Safe did not work. Outdoor Garden area with plastic Adirondack Chairs & tables. This is not an accessible property; many steps to reception/restaurant. On site parking.

The staff were great. The hotel is dated but very clean. Dated is ok if everything is kept in good working order. This was not the case for us. The shower wand was coming off of the wall and sent water flying all over. The tap on the sink also needed to be replaced as it too was not working properly. The toilet also needed some upkeep as the top would almost come right off when flushing. Avoid room 142.

The hotel and staff were very nice. It was a bit warm for our liking but not unbearable, and the water pressure was very intense in the shower, but otherwise the room had everything we needed. The breakfast was nice as well.
