"The location was very central, but traffic on Ave 27 Febrero can get really bad during rush hour, even for short distances, so keep that in mind when planning your trips. I was initially given a room on the second floor, but there were some issues, so they moved me to a room on the sixth floor, which was great. It was spacious and very clean, with a comfortable bed, a small kitchen, and a spacious bathroom. The Wi-Fi and air conditioning worked perfectly. The staff were very friendly and helpful throughout my stay. Overall, I had a good experience and really appreciated how they handled the room change."
