Frommer's Very Highly Recommended

Having taken over this property from Courtyard by Marriott, this Howard Johnson is an excellent choice for travelers who don't require many special services. It has a great location off Calle Florida near Plaza San Martín, with access through a shopping-and-restaurant gallery in the hotel's ground level. Guest rooms come equipped with sleeper chairs (in addition to bed!), large desks and dressers, and well-appointed bathrooms. Rooms are of an above-average size in this category. Each room has two phones, and local calls and Internet use are free -- a rarity in Buenos Aires. There's a small, airy cafe and bar in the lobby, with additional food served in the gallery below. There are four small budget-priced function rooms available for business and social events off the lobby. There is no pool or health club on premises, but access is offered free of charge to a nearby facility. Wi-Fi is free in the lobby.
