Regency Way Montevideo Hotel
Breakfast was delicious, the area doesn’t seem to have much going on. But it was safe and in the city. Staff was very helpful. I just felt the bathrooms needed a bit more of scrubbing. Where the soaps hang there was a brown/cream layer of dirt. Other than that, place was fine.
