I stayed at this property in 1999.
In a great section of town. You will love walking Avenida Florida. The window shopping and people watching is great.
It is an older hotel. Very elegant. Small reception area.
I ate in both restaurants. The formal one is very good with good service. However, go out to eat many great steak house down by the water.
The room was fair. It needed to be remodeled. However, for the age of the hotel my room was large. I will say the best part was the bed did not have the 4" foam Marriott spec mattress. (One of the reasons I am a Starwood Platinum member and love the heavenly beds.)
Enjoy your time in BA.

It is the oldest and most historic of the big international chain hotels in BA. Bought and extensively renovated by Marriott around 1995. Others are newer, bigger, and maybe have better pools -- Hilton, 4 Seasons, Sheraton -- but no one can beat the Marriott's location at the end of Florida St., with San Martin Park across the street.
There is a bar downstairs -- one of the only classic Hotel Bars in the city. I'm sure if Marriott had built a hotel instead of buying this one, they would never have designed such an intimate, comfortable, old-fashioned space. Great place to meet someone.
Besides steakhouses, you can get good seafood and other local food at Dora, 1 block away (ask concierge); the hotel managers like to eat there. You can get good deals on wool sweaters and other knitted clothes at Sylvia y Mario.
Many taxi drivers still know the hotel as the Plaza -- not the Marriott.

Since you're asking about location, one should note that there's a Courtyard about a block away, on the (pedestrian only) Ave Florida. If your concern is for location and not prestige or public rooms, it's fine. A taxi would likely drop you off at the Marriott, anyway. I concur with other postings - that's a nice part of the city for visitors.

I stayed in the Courtyard last Novemeber. You should know, however, that it is no longer a Marriott. I am planning on going to Buenos Aires in the next month or so and expected to stay there. After checking out marriott.com, however, I note that this property is no longer listed. Pity - it was nice.

The former Courtyard by Marriott at Florida 944, Buenos Aires, is now the Howard Johnson Plaza Florida Street.
I stayed there about a year and a half ago when it was still a Courtyard. It didn't have a pool, but at that time you could use the pool at the Marriott Plaza. (I'm would think that you can't do that any more.)

I was very dissapointed with the Marriott Plaza BA. My room was very dull, and absolutely no more than 3 Stars. I checked-in and within 20 minutes checked out!!!
I immediately wheeled my luggage the two blocks to the oppulent Park Tower. The hotel is extremely luxurious and very "AAA" Five Diamond. I was pampered by the staff. The lobby is very beautiful.
The rooms are wonderful. I had a Deluxe City view room, and I enjoyed every minute of it. The bed was very plush, pillows the finest quality, and the bathroom was lavish in luxury. Not to mention morning room service was great. The breakfast was magnanimous, and pleasantly served.
I really enjoyed my stay and was worth every penney. The prices are fair, and the restaurant in the hotel was delicious!! I highly recommend.

I like the Marriot Plaza (San Martin) in B.A., but it does have some of the typical Marriott shortcomings: frumpy furniture and unrefined fabrics/ color schemes.
That said, the hotel is pleasant and the location is good. And there is a Concierge Lounge, which they will give to you based on status.

The Courtyard is less than 150 yards from the Marriott and half the price and no telephone charges. Down side is rooms small but on Ave Florida which is a pedestrian street so neat for walking and no noise from cars
