Budget friendly
Pros:

From the moment I checked in until check out it was a very pleasant experience. I asked for early check in and I was able to check in a couple of hours before normal check in times. I was instantly greeted by a warm smile from the front desk associate (this lady is fantastic). I got to my room and was very clean and tidy. I headed out for lunch and was greeted by another friendly staff member (she was awesome) that gave me some suggestions for lunch. The bar attendant was very polite and friendly like pretty much everyone I got in contact to. Breakfast is included and is served between 6:30 to 10am. With multiple bread options, lots of beverages and assorted pastries. The breakfast attendant was also very friendly and polite. I had a great experience staying at this hotel and it's like 30 minutes walk to the downtown. I would definitely recommend this hotel for any solo travel or family vacation. Thanks to everyone that helped me had a great time here. This staff really loves providing great service in hospitality.

Beautiful Motel!!
Pros:

After flying down from Buenos Aries I stayed at this Hotel in El. Calafate. Very nice place!! Breakfast was nothing special which came with the room accommodations. The open property and the grounds were very nice! Was nice to be out in the country compared to the big cities!! Nice and quiet!!

BUEN HOTEL. PODRIA SER MEJOR DE ACUERDO AL PRECIO.
Pros:

LA HABITACIÓN ERA DEMASIADO CHICA PARA LA PUNTUACIÓN DEL HOTEL. SI TIENE CUATRO ESTRELLAS NO PUEDE SER TAN CHICA. POR OTRA PARTE, ES INACEPTABLE QUE NO TENGA AIRE ACONDICIONADO!!! AÚN CUANDO ESTÉ EN EL SUR...

Cons:

EL TAMAÑO Y EL AIRE ACONDICIONADO

Una excelente opción en Calafate
Pros:

La habitación era grande y luminosa (grandes ventanas). Dormimos genial y la cama era comodísima.
El desayuna era variado con huevos, yogurt y bollería.
Un detalle curioso es que cuando sale al jardín de atrás te da la bienvenida un perro muy majo con ganas de jugar.

Cons:

Por decir algo, el baño estaba un poco viejito.

Pros:

La habitación tiene un muy buen tamaño y buena vista al lago Argentino (no plena pero bien).
El desayuno también estaba muy bien.
El restaurante muy bien y práctico tenerlo ahí ya que el hotel no está en el centro lo cual podría ser algo negativo pero para mí no ya que se accede fácilmente y además hay servicio de traslado sin cargo durante la tarde al centro ida y vuelta.
Y el personal excelente, siempre muy atentos y con excelente predisposición.

Estadia boa, áreas comuns confortáveis e espaçosas. Porém bastante cara para o tipo de quarto.
Pros:

Limpeza e atendimento. Áreas comuns boas, arejadas e amplas.

Cons:

Quarto pouco ventilado, banheiro sem exaustor/ventilação, estrutura do prédio permite muita propagação de barulho. Chegamos em um dia bem quente para os padrões da Patagônia (quase 30º C) e o quarto estava MUITO quente. Tivemos que deichar a janelinha e porta do quarto abertas para tentar melhorar um pouco o "abafamento".
