Just finishing up a 3 day pointbreak stay.

This is a very serviceable, comfortable place but not glamorous by any means. I arrived after a redeye in a driving rain and soaked after walking around trying to find the place. They let me check in early and I really appreciated that in my condition.

The room is large and had a comfortable king bed. Bath typical and unremarkable. TV with lots of choices. Refrigerator with bottled water (2 usd). Breakfast buffet was so so. Charge was 13 USD if staying on points. Fresh scrambled eggs and bacon, fruit, cereal, cheese, cold cuts and lots of bread and pastries. The latter were bland and a little stale so easy to avoid overindulging on carbs..

Staff always helpful and courteous. Didn't interact too much with them, but had a WiFi problem and got quick help. I speak Spanish and used it always but seemed look most spoke some English.

Location is great. One block from Plaza Indepenencia (most photographed place in the city, I suspect). Within a 15 minute walking radius there are lots of museums, restaurants, and grocery stores. There were a number of panhandling homeless in the area, but they were not threatening or aggressive. I donated to a few and they were very appreciative. Lots of Peruvians have migrated to Montivideo and there are lots of Peruvian restaurants in the old city...cheap and delicious. The grocery store around the corner on Andes is good for stocking in room snacks and drinks. Uruguayan wine is super cheap and meets my low standards for drinkability.

Best museum was Andes 1972 a few blocks from the hotel. It is dedicated to the air crash of the Uruguayan rugby team in the Andes. Really interesting and emotional.

All in all, I was pleased with this stay but many on here would find the place lacking in the luxury and sophistication pursued by a lot of the trip report writers here.
