"El hotel es uno de los más bonitos y limpios en los que estuve en este viaje. Lo único que no me gustó y que fue en parte responsabilidad nuestra es que no tenían aire acondicionado; la calefacción es central, no hay forma de apagarla y no tienen ningún ventilador para ofrecer. El Chaltén es un lugar muy frío, pero en la época que fui no estaba frio. La solución del hotel es que mantuviera la ventana abierta para que refrescara la habitación. Nuestra habitación daba a la carretera y entre las personas pasando, los autos y los perros, no se podía dormir."
