Good Choice for a Centrally Located Hotel
- November 18, 2008
- Rated 5 of 5 by
ParisUnv from New Rochelle, New York
This hotel is in a great location, Centro, with many retail shops, places to eat either coffee and an 'alfajore' (Argentinean sweet treat) or full meals or to exchange money at the many banks in the area. Only a few blocks from the hotel is the Subte, the subway line, or a main thoroughfare, Santa Fe Avenue that leads to many of the different neighborhoods.
The rooms aren't new but nicely appointed and the beds are comfy. The best part is that the air condition really does work and eventhough this was considered Springtime, the temps got up to 90 and humid.
The hotel concierges were extrememly helpful no matter what question we posed and easy to understand.
Because this location is Central, you do have a 15-20 minute taxi ride to the trendy Palermo areas but with the dollar to peso rate being so great that still only amounts to around 20 pesos which is equivalent to $6 US dollars, so everything is definitely within reach.
The only downside is that Calle Florida is a central retail area and there are always people outside stores calling at you to come inside and buy and after a very short time it become excessively annoying but a small price to pay for convenience to many things.

Marriott Plaza Hotel

Marriott hotel in need of renovation. It looks really nice on the outside but it was a let down once inside. Not worth the money.
Rooms are rather on the small side and the fitness room is ill equipped. Pool is very small and narrow it was being serviced for the 10 days I was there.
The best thing about the hotel was the location. It's right on Florida St. which is pedestrian only. It's has many nice shops and cafes. There is a mall further down the street where you find your typical Nike, Addidas, Lacoste etc.. If you want to do some shopping, I would suggest going Santa Fe. Street which runs just north of the hotel. Fantastic street shopping with much better prices than you find on Florida St.
There is a beautiful park across the street from the hotel which is great to sit back and relax. The city waterfront is a short walk south of the hotel, really great restaurants and cafes. A MUST SEE.
The hotel is good for 3 days max and it's not a family oriented hotel.

Nice property and well-located.Poor entry design requires long flight of stairs to get to elevators. Restaurant highly overrated and living on past laurels - but do have drink in elegant bar and eat elsewhere. Pool has little sun.Great wine shop across street.

Really bad experience the first night due to noise from adjoinging room. Haing to come down to lobby for wireless internet access where people were smoking away. Internet access were down and all messed up when back on. Concierges were not knowledgeable for relevant questions. Fitness center does not have disinfect wipes for before/after machine use, users cannot listen to/change channel on TV.
