Hotel Inti Raimi — Hotel in Salta

I choose to stay here as it was recommended to me by a fellow traveler I had encountered in downtown Salta. The hotel is located about 5 minutes walk out of the immediate pleno centro area. The room itself was decent for the price, although the bathroom was in a bit of rough shape with no shower curtain, no toilet paper available, and a broken wall mounted soap holder. There is a lovely courtyard garden, that I decided to enjoy. And that is where things turned interesting that evening.||A very attractive lady was seated in the courtyard. I speak Spanish and thus said hello to her to be polite and the sat down to enjoy my book. She engaged me in light conversation, in which I told her I was American, traveling alone, and on my way to Jujuy Province in about two days. After a few minutes she excused herself. I wa feeling hungry and thus went out find somthing to eat.||Upon arriving back at the hotel, I found a folded piece of paper taped to the door of my room. Opening the note I read and learned that it had been left by the lady I met in the courtyard. Her name was Juliana and she had something to ask me and would I please knock on her door if it was after 9 pm, as she would be out of her room until then. It was 9:30 and curious as to what this was all about, I went over to knock on her door. ||After knocking, I was told it was open and to come in. Upon entering, there was Juliana, wearing intimate attire. She then told me that she was working as an "accompante" and that she was available to "spend time" with me if I was of the inclination and it was $1000 per hour. I politely declined and left the room. ||I stayed through the next day and ran into Juliana that afternoon in the courtyard along with her "friend", Brisa. Im of the mind Brisa was in the same profession as Julianna. This hotel appears to be used as an incall location for local Salta Escorts. ||Make you own decisions on if to...

I would not recommend. I used the venere.com website to book and pay before my flight from Mendoza to Salta. When I arrived, the young guy at the front desk had no information at all about the reservation. I showed him my email with confirmation number stating my credit card had been charged $72.40. That was not sufficient. He kept saying he had no confirmation and did not get paid. I am a patient person. I was tired. I did not want to repay. I waited 39 minutes while he made numerous calls to different offices. I understand he was under orders from his employer not to rent without payment. But I had proof that I paid. And when he straightened it out, ad nauseum, there was a room available. As a single woman traveling alone I am accustomed to certain minimum requirements. This hotel seemed to cater to Argentine families and seemed quiet. It had a nice, green central courtyard with rooms surrounding. The room was basic with chipped plaster walls, TV, noisy air conditioner, a roach and a spider eating the mosquitos.The only electrical outlet was in the bathroom and the plug did not permit cell phone charging since it did not make a tight enough connection. The insecure aspects were that the entry door was wood paneled with a gap between the panels on one side 1/4 " wide. Then I found a missing pane of glass in the only window. I did not feel secure and listened to the mosquitos all night. The price was outrageous. I am now at the Almeria and it costs a little more for sumptuous comfort. Go to...

NO RESPETAN TU PRIVACIDAD.Pagamos la noche en el hotel y salimos de excursión. Horas después nos llaman para decir que tenemos que ir para allá que no pueden hospedarnos porque recibían contingentes de EE UU y todo el hotel quedaba para ellos. Nosotras a km de distancia no podíamos volver. Dijeron que querían entrarían a la habitación a sacar nuestras pertenencias con cuidado. Dijimos que por favor esperen a que regresemos (por la noche ese mismo día tipo 20 hr), que no teníamos forma de volver en el momento porque estábamos en un micro. No quisieron, les dijimos que no podían tocar nuestras pertenencias, que era privado, que los denunciaríamos porque encima habíamos pagado por el servicio. De todas formas tras varios llamados de ida y vuelta en el micro, y de arruinarnos el día y el viaje en sí, a la distancia, no pudimos hacer nada, tuvimos que aceptar que iban a entrar a sacar nuestras cosas, porque en definitiva es su hotel y ellos iban a hacer lo que querían. Me sentí totalmente invadida, fue una falta de respeto total. Dónde se vió que por un error de ellos en coordinar reservas uno de los clientes termine pagando los platos rotos? Pésima coordinación, pésima calidad de servicio. Dijeron que lo lamentaban pero que entrarían porque no quedaba otra, claro, no querían reubicarlos en otro lugar, dijeron que eran de EE UU y estaban cansados. Sin embargo dijeron que nos harían una "atención" si no hacíamos la respectiva denuncia (no la hicimos allá en Salta), la cual tampoco importaba. Llegamos a la noche, nos esperaron con todas nuestras cosas embolsadas en la recepción y nos quisieron regalar un vino a cada una. ESA FUE LA ATENCIÓN. Por supuesto nos devolvieron el dinero. DESASTRE TOTAL. Una sra que debía ser la dueña intentaba callarnos cuando mi amiga levantaba la voz para que los sres de EE UU no se enteren de sus desprolijidades, me sentí totalmente pasada por encima, sin una pizca de respeto. Una chica joven del hotel, nos dijo además "que no podíamos esperar tanto del hotel" porque eramos "mochileras". Así que inclusive recibí una discriminación por llevar mis pertenencias en una MOCHILA.||POR FAVOR, NO VAYAN. NO MERECEN DINERO DE NADIE. Lo único que espere es humanidad y que nos dijeran chicas mil disculpas, organizamos mal nosotros, mil disculpas por tener que haber tocado sus cosas. Jamás tuvieron la humildad para decir esas palabras, fue: disculpas, que quieren que haga? no podía hacer nada porque los sres de EE UU ya habían reservado, etc etc, con cara de autosuficiencia y nada de verguenza y entendimiento al cliente. La pasé mal. En ningún hotel en ninguna parte del mundo me...
