Nice hotel with great panoramic views of Lago Argentino and the mountains beyond. Friendly and helpful staff, easy parking, and a short walk to town. Room was comfortable and clean, though we did have to open the window to air out the musty smell. Overall, a great place to stay at.

The folks who checked us in were great throughout our stay. The room was fine. Not great but okay. When we checked out I noticed they overcharged for dinner. At dinner I pointed it out that we were charged for beers both at the bar and at the table but only ordered wine at the table. The front desk decided they didn’t want to fix this. It doesn’t make sense to stay here. Other people in our party also had problems with their bill. I don’t know of they are unethical or just tired of communicating with tourists.
