Moreno Hotel Buenos Aires

Crawling with ants

Positiv: This is one of the largest hotel rooms--or room in general, for that matter--that I've ever slept in. It is an interesting space with a speakeasy vibe that would have been quite cool if there were not an ant infestation. I also have praise for the staff, who did their best to mitigate the ant problem after we complained, but we should never have been put into a room with so many ants in the first place.

Negativ: The room was crawling with ants, all the way from the door, down the long hall to the bed, and around the bed. We only stayed one night, but I probably killed about 40 in the few hours between when we checked in and when we went to bed. The ants were mostly on the ground, but their proximity to the bed unnerved my wife, who had trouble sleeping before a long trip home from Argentina to the U.S. When we complained, the staff brought us insecticide, which helped with the ants but still left my wife anxious (one might say, "antsy") all night. We should never have been put into the room in the first place, and the hotel should have offered a full refund for the night's stay.
