Travel part 3: Hotels

There was a fairly small one in Montevideo, just enough space to walk around the bed. But otherwise, not bad. 
There was the one in Peru with a jacuzzi right in the room. Like, right in it.
And also the one (maybe the jacuzzi one, I don't remember now) with the steam feature in the shower that everyone raved about, and I did not try.
There was the super lux Marriott in Buenos Aires, with a great view from the balcony. I only got to enjoy it for about 6 hours, because we left at 3 in the morning. 
The shared room in Guatemala which wasn't 4 star for a hotel but definitely would have been a posh summer camp stay.
The cabin in Tikal. It was fitting for a jungle, but if I'd known that the early morning walk-into-Tikal-as-the-sun-rises wake up call was going to wake up everyone, I would have gone ahead on the walk. 
The hostel housing with a shared bathroom that could have used an improved design in the shower area.
The ranch-style stay on my latest trip, where I somehow ended up in a double room: 2 beds, 2 baths, but one door. How's a girl to decide which room to use? 
There was also the hotel that was hidden in a mall. It took a while to find the hotel, and was very hard to know which floor was the main floor on the elevator.
There was the Best Western in Tula, which was stuck right in the middle of the block. Pros: Very close to tacos. Cons: zero parking, and the rooms were crammed in everywhere. No two rooms were alike. I fortunately lucked out and avoided any cucaracha visitors, and had a decent sized room (no worse than Montevideo, and I spent even less time in it). Others had a living room, but at least one person had essentially a broom closet.
In contrast was the architectural wonder we stayed at on our last night. Just check out that interior: 


Hotels: all part of the adventure.
