My wife and I stayed at this 9 de Julio hotel for six nights in early March and again for three nights at the end of March 2006 and had excellent experiences. The rack rate posted is $181.50 US, pricey but the location is extremely central for first time visitors and the window glazing such that on both street side and back side rooms street noise was not a problem. Our first compliment was that we were provided a room by 10 am on our first check-in after an overnight flight from North American, and on check-out before an overnight flight home we were given full access to their pool with showers, lockers, chaises longues, etc. The rooms are average size, the bathroom compact, but everything modern and clean (except the carpet which was badly spotted in both rooms). Our second big compliment was on our return when many staff welcomed us "home" and remembered our prior visit and special needs (tea not cafe con leche at breakfast). If this is in your price range, highly recommended.
