The hotel was okay. It was large and mostly clean--there was some grime and mold in the bathroom. Most of the people who worked there were friendly, but there was one woman who worked there who was a complete monster. She went out of her way to be rude to us, and I have no idea why. If you avoid her you will probably be okay. The location is great if you want to spend most of your time on Calle Florida and downtown. However, if you're younger, staying in Palermo is probably a better idea, as there isn't much going on at night around the hotel. Overall, I would suggest people stay elsewhere.

We stayed for 5 days at the hotel and enjoyed each day.

1. The service was great from the time we arrived. We arrived super early since our flight came in at 6am; they accommodated us with a room 4 hours before the regular check-in time. I had some internet problems in the room and with-in 30min my internet was fixed. (Free internet)
2. The room was plenty big with a king bed, min bar, safe and a big bathroom.
3. Breakfast was excellent and good choice of cereals and fruits.
4. The location was excellent close to everything, we took a taxi to a local mall out aside of BA, and the taxi ride was only $10USD.
A major plus is the near by (3 blocks) mall that has a great food court. (Cheap)

Over all the hotel was great for the price.

This is hotel is very good. Very good location, near from Puerto Madero, Recoleta. The room is very goog, outr room was very big.The bathroom is good, the shower is not so high, for a big person must be hard to take a shower.
We had already satyed at Nogaro and Aspen in Buenos Aires, but Howard Johson is much better.

This hotel on Florida Street is a great location. WIthin walking distance to several Downtown locations, shopping is within a few feet. Also right outside the door is an entrace to the BA subway which can take you to many other tourist places. The rooms were spacious and had an odd key system when entering the room. Once you enter the room, you have to slide your key into a slot on the wall to turn on all the electricity to the room. Very good for the hotel to save on wasted electricity. The bathrooms were spacious, but the shower was oddly narrow and the shower head was low. We are average size people so it did not bother us. A larger person would have difficulty showering comfortably. It was a treat to watch the Coriolis Effect in motion when flushing the toilet.

The breakfast buffet was nice and consisted of eggs, bacon, ham, crossants, fresh fruit, and TONS of Dulce de Leche. Highly recommend the OJ, very good. McDonalds across the street if needed.

The staff was helpful, they held our luggage for us when we arrived early on the morning of our checkin until our room was ready. There are two complimentary computers with internet in the lobby. It is true that the hotel does not have curb access, our taxi driver knew where to drop us off and it was a short 1 minute walk to the Hotel Entrance with the lobby located on the 2nd floor above some stores. The plus side to this is no loud traffice noise and it is easy to come and go out of the hotel if you are are walking to any of the nearby locations. We found several Very good restaurants in the area that had very cheap local argentine specialties plus you can purchase a full bottle of wine in these places for about $8 US.
