LUZ PALACE HOTEL * * * - Tarija, Bolivia

We stayed in a room with glass sliding windows but only open up to the hallway. We found the quality of the air in the rooms to be stagnant. Using the ceiling fans helped but the building tends to heat up due to the large glass atrium. Lobby lacks a comfortable place to hang. Breakfast with stale bread. The entrance doors are locked all the time so you have to ring the bell and wait to be let in. The door bell could be heard in our room everytime someone rang the bell. This was bothersome to be awakened at night by the street doorbell. Hallways very reverberant due to the tile flooring and large glass atrium. Found the mattress too hard. Construction noise could be heard during the day making it difficult to take a nap even during the siesta.

Good location. Clean and a good value. We stayed four nights. Downside is that the front door is locked without a desk clerk present, resulting in the doorbell ringing all hours of the night. Stale bread for breakfast.
