NH City Buenos Aires
We appreciated having our room ready in the morning. We had to be off the cruise ship by 9am so figured we'd have to store our luggage at the hotel and go exploring. To our surprise and pleasure, our room was ready and waiting! Awesome! We would highly recommend NH City Buenos Aires.
