The Sheraton Libertador Hotel in Buenos Aires is very centrally located for the typical tourist. Underground parking adjacent to the hotel was greatly appreciated since parking is such a challenge in the city anyway.

I used 7,000 points for a Category 3 award stay, which I thought was an excellent value, especially considering the location and full-sertvice amenities offered by this property. The pool area was sparking clean, the business center was staffed and had 4 computers for usage. The front desk staff spoke good English and were able to make suggestions about day trips, walking tours in town.

Room service was prompt, well-presented and not a bad value for hotel pricing. Breakfast was predictble- cereal, yogurt, decent baked goods, fresh fruit salad and a couple of large pots for coffee, milk and orange juice.

I enjoyed the "waterfall" overhead shower, but I would have appreciated the ever-comfortable bath robe, but the oversized towels sufficed. Based on Gold status, I was upgraded to a room that faced the main Avenida de Cordoba, which offered sweeping views of the city. There was a nice cheese, fruit and cracker spread awaiting us in the room.

With so many boutique hotels cropping up in Buenos Aires, the Sheraton was smart to renovate this place and give it a little flair. This property is a far better award value than the Marriott nearby which is an award category 6!

Make sure and allow plenty of time to get to the airport, as there is traffic clogging up the main arteries to the freeway... and the freeway itself, seemingly at all hours of the day!
