Hualta Hotel Mendoza, Curio Collection By Hilton
Rooms were very nice, the staff was courteous, but I felt there were not enough staff during breakfast. Food was very good, and the wine fountain was great! We spent the afternoon at the terrace which was delightful, and the bartender there was excellent.
