Argentina Hotel

A quick trip from Buenos Aires to Uruguay's capital Montevideo. It's a very calm and sleepy city! Unfortunately, my hotel room inside the Montevideo Holiday Inn was not as quiet as I had hoped for. It was a very cold winter day in August and they needed to switch on their heating. Their heating is pumping liquid through pipes that lead along the inside of their aircons. Obviously those pipes contained air and they were causing loud and disturbing noises over night. I could hardly close my eyes and sleep. I guess it was an unfortunate technical issue they fixed later on, but it was not a pleasant experience. However, the staff was very friendly and I thought it was a very nice hotel. Of course, the internet access was very slow, but I heard internet speed is a big problem in Uruguay, not just inside this hotel. The location in the centre of the city can't be beat - it's perfect for a Montevideo hotel room! BTW: hotels in Montevideo are much cheaper than Buenos Aires hotel room rates.

Unfortunatelty, my camera's flash light was broken, so image quality is very poor this time :-( I was upgraded to a jr. suite with a separate living room. Pretty nice room with a comfortable bed.
