In terms of security ~ would stay there again...more than anywhere else! Prime location, high visibility, accessibility by persons not with the hotel prohibited and monitored. GREAT location in the heart of Montevideo. If you wish to see Montevideo, you want to stay here. The *only* download or poor grade were for the elevators. Out of 20 days at the Presidente, there were 5 days the elevators did *not* work - had to walk to 9th floor!!! Yes, 9th. This is truly a terrible thing for persons who cannot traverse many floors of stairs! The wifi could use a booster for inconsistency of connection. The meals were excellent and the staff are *very* accommodating (especially with language difference), courteous, and professional. Overall ~ great place...needs to get those elevators working consistently!
