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.

Disliked: Amenities
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.

Disliked: Amenities
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.

Noisy hotel and aggressive receptionists
- Noisy hotel with rooms close to the restaurant on the first floor and concerts right across the street in the park. - No late checkout option, even if you ask for just 20 minutes past the time. - An aggressive receptionist lady dashed towards me when I tried to take her picture to communicate it to the hotel management about bad service. She actually touched me forcefully trying to block my camera. This is the last thing I was expecting from the hotel on my vacation, to be touched in a forceful manner by the receptionist. I actually have a photo of the receptionists dashing toward me. Not posting it here for security reasons, but forwarded it to hotel management. - A cheap approach to guests, you can't take muffins with you on the excursion when you leave at 7 am in the morning. Even though I paid for my breakfast they say 'you can't take the food outside'. - I booked one room (with the picture showing a working space where I can use my computer), and received another one with a minuscule 1/4 of the table that can't even accommodate elbows. I traveled extensively around the world and never had experience like this. anything like this. Not sure what is it - general dislike towards foreigners or just very bad services. In any case, can hardly recommend anyone to stay there.
