Let's just say this is one of the nicest hotels I've ever been to for a very small prices. I'm still shocked what money can buy in Bolivia. Yes southwest Asia gave me beachside bungalows for less than 10 dollars but the city was always a different story. For less than 100 dollars this place gave it all. If you ever visit La Paz in a small trip and enact the best for a family trip please go here. If you are a backpacker you can disregard my post!
After being in the wilderness for days, sleeping in negative weather, having altitude headaches, and arriving at this mountainside city at night we were praying for a nice hotel. We wound down the streets from 4100m to 3500m passing more buildings than I've ever seen in my life. This city is massive. I've said it before and I'll say it again I'm beyond impressed and shocked by what the city was like. We passed through some shady areas.
Fingers crossed we arrived. Beautiful and massive! I felt guilty walking in with my backpack and dirty clothes. Shocked my mom and I smiled at each other! This is amazing.
The room was huge with comfy beds. We even had a pillow menus.
We ordered room service which was not only ridiculously cheap but also ridiculously delicious.
They helped us with everything. Booked our taxis to the new year and told us where to visit. They were just on top of everything.
The best however was after the wrestling my moms ankle really was hurting. Nervous that it would hurt the trip we decided to ask the front desk what to do. The receptionist, who was the sweetest girl ever, said they would call a doctor. What?! We just meant we needed ice or a cream or something.
She told us to wait at the room and a doctor would come. Before we knew it there were two doctors in the room checking out my moms ankle. As they asked questions in Spanish our communication was very poor. Then a translator showed up! Are you kidding me?
The damage was small which was as good news and all should be fine In a Few days. They gave her some bandages and a prescription for pain killers. How do we get the prescription filled? No worries we will send someone to fill them and deliver.
The whole situation was beyond comical but so nicely taken care of and convenient. We could not have been more thankful. A little nervous for the bill we were once again shocked that the total was under 10 dollars!! No seriously all of that was only 10 dollars and 8 of it was the cost of painkillers. And with that we were ready for the next part of our journey thanks to Camino Real Suites!
