Hotel Francia

Two-bed rooms are renovated, but not clean at all. Three-bed rooms are really old, rusty and dirty. All hotel is really old and only some parts were renovated. Elevator for example does not feel safe at all. Some of the staff were OK, some almost rude.

The gem of this hotel is the owner runs his antique car tour out of the hotel. The antique car tour was absolutely amazing, we took the tour thru the clouds package and it made our trip to Tucuman a pleasant experience, rather than the horrific initial experience we would have had if we hadn't found this tour!

The hotel staff was frustrating, couldn't communicate at all and would cater to other guests before us even when we had been waiting first. They gave us twin beds initially even though we had booked a queen bed. The room they put us in initially had the view of the building wall beside us and the floor was under active construction. After a frustrating attempt to communicate, they finally moved us to a queen room. The shower only ran super hot or frigid cold, there was no in between and there wasn't much water pressure. The electronic key we were given kept malfunctioning, which was extremely frustrating. They gave us a free breakfast, which was terrible dry breads and metallic tasting coffee that was not drinkable. We ended up walking out of breakfast and going down the street to find edible food and coffee. The hotel is not within walking distance from the bus terminal, you have to take a taxi, which wasn't expensive, $70 ARS pesos, but the site said it was walkable.
