Aloft Montevideo Hotel by Marriott
Vivaldi Hotel Loft Punta Carretas
Great staff and nicely sized rooms. The breakfast was tasty and fresh, though more variety would be appreciated (especially for gluten-free or dairy-free folks). The rooftop has a great view. Excellent location. Rooms were surprisingly quiet. We had the two-room family suite, which was a bit weird ...

The staff was great. The breakfast was ok. The room was small and HOT. We set the A/C to a comfortable temperature, but it didnt work. We had to open a window overnight.
