We were in Rio Cuerto for the total eclipse, a destination that probably doesn’t have many if any foreign tourists otherwise. As such, our expectations weren’t the same as we’d have for a tourist destination. The rooms were very simple and basic, and, although worn, were very clean and quite comfortable. The photos were accurate, although didn’t show the worn spots. The staff was very helpful, although there was practically no English at all, this wasn’t unexpected since, again, this is not a tourist destination. (For the record, several in our party were fluent in Spanish, so there was never a problem). An excellent restaurant was a couple of blocks away, and it was a walkable distance to the downtown.

The included breakfast was disappointing, and didn’t add much value to the room rate. Just drinks (coffee, tea, milk, yogurt drink, and orange juice), a crescent roll, white bread for toast with spreads, canned fruit cocktail, and a single cereal.
