Opta Coliving
Very comfortable hotel in a quiet, safe neighborhood. There are several good restaurants nearby, and shopping is within walking distance. The hotel is near the ocean, making morning walks along the shore an imperative. I enjoyed my stay.

Hampton by Hilton Montevideo Carrasco
Room was nice, most staff were standard attitude. Bellhop was nicest in the morning when I was leaving. Restaurant staff didn't seem quite accommodating. Tried to get someone to ask questions about menu and that never happened. So left without eating.
