Hotel Quintana (3 estrellas) — Hotel in San Luis

Our Google Map placed the hotel right at the corner of Plaza Pringles, while in fact it is about 5 blocks away - no big deal but be aware of it. We mentioned this to the hotel at check-in, their reaction was Google Map is wrong - yeah, I realized this but as an owner you should have the interest to let Google Map know to correct their information.||Easy check-in, parking in-house in their tight but welcome free space, free excellent wifi in the room. ||Our room was spacious but the carpet was stained and buckling, not giving a clean feeling, the rest of the room felt clean. Good and not-too-noisy airconditioning in the room, 2 easy chairs with a small table but no desk and no easily available electrical outlets for charging equipment - in this 21st century an absolute requirement.||Bathroom reasonably clean, tiled and with a bidet, but supplied with only one bath towel, one cup for toothcare, absolutely no vanity countertop and only a miniscule shelf above the sink - some upgrades are urgently needed here, particularly in view of the rather steep rates for this location.||Ok continental breakfast with cheese and a slice of meat, croissants, no eggs but creme caramel.||Overall quite an underwhelming experience, particularly for the...

Do you want to wait 10mins for a lift to become free because BOTH are used incessantly by the cleaning staff and their load of linen? Do you like arriving at night to find their parking is ‘full’, and having to walk various blocks for your car to be safe? Do you enjoy walking into a restaurant, asking for the menu, and being told, with a flick of the hand by the head waiter to go and fetch it yourself a few tables away? Do you like to bathe in urine coloured water? (pic attached). Do you like to stay in a 2 star hotel with a 4-star tag? Do you like to pay about 100% more than the rooms are worth?...||Then by all means book a room here. It has the charm of a derelict hotel that has never been renovated for 30 years. ||||If you don’t like helpful and agreeable staff then forget this hotel, as their reception personnel were...

We chose this hotel as it was listed in our Argentina guidebook and seemed one of the better hotels in San Luis, where we just needed to stay for the night while traveling from Cordoba to Mendoza. The guidebook said something about the hotel having an older side and a newer side; I think we stayed on the older side. Our room had 1970s decor in the main room -- the bathroom seemed newer. Both were fine for our purposes -- clean but not luxurious. The room had a small fridge, which was nice. My husband was a bit concerned because our window seemed like it would be accessible to someone walking on a nearby roof outside, and the window lock seemed inadequate, but we had no problems. The staff at the front desk were kind, and the hotel provided a computer with internet access in a small room off to the side near the lobby. We were happy to take...
