Hotel Durazno — Hotel in Durazno

The hotel is close to the central plaza and the only one we could find when we arrived late and tired. From the outside it looked not too bad, the same goes for the reception area and lounge, and the receptionist was friendly and very helpful. ||I choose the superior room because that would give us some more space..... Well, in that extra space they had managed to put an extra bed and a baby bed. The bathroom was the standard small room with a shower you find in most business budget hotels. There is no graded parking so you have to leave your vehicle on the street.||||The whole hotel smelled of damp, maybe because of the water running over the window of the patio garden or maybe because Durazno had had 2 weeks of heavy rainfall.

Techos muy altos, con partes de techos y paredes con signos muy evidentes de problemas de humedad, con pintura ampollada e incluso en algunas partes revoque comprometido, lo que lleva a que en algunas zonas del hotel haya olor a humedad. Igualmente, dadas las pocas opciones de alojamientos que hay en la ciudad, lo considero una buena opción, obviamente no de lujo, pero sé de un muy amable personal, un lugar limpio y cómodo, con excelente ubicación y comodidades básicas satisfechas. En cuanto a consejos para las habitaciones, he leído comentarios sobre los ruidos molestos de las motos en la calle. En mi caso estuve en una de las habitaciones del fondo, y pese a que dormí con la ventana abierta, no sufrí ese problema, por lo que si quieren evitar ruidos de las motos, pueden solicitar una habitación que dé al fondo, en lugar de ocupar una de...
