Radisson Montevideo Victoria Plaza Hotel
This is a hotel designed/built in the 90’s and you can tell…though it’s maintained well. The beds were comfortable, the staff great, the Olympic size pool - worn - but really good. The WiFi could be better. Other than that, we’ll be back. Especially for the lap swimming!
