This hotel was a terrific place where to spend a few days in the beautiful city of Mendoza. We stayed in a very large suite, comfortable, quiet and luminous, elegantly furnished and meticulously clean. We appreciated having a WiFi connection and a nice "working" area, right in the room. The service was excellent with very knowledgeable and helpful front desk people. Very good breakfast included. The location was superb, just across Plaza Italia, one of the several green gems of the city. Within the "downtown" area, yet felt quiet and residential.

My husband and I stayed in Mendoza this past week, just as the wine harvest festivities and visitors were coming into town. We found the Executive Hotel to be a perfectly adequate hotel, even having just come from a 5 star hotel in Buenos Aires. I would class this as a 3.5 star hotel, but probably 4 stars for Mendoza.

The staff were unfailingly polite and tried to be helpful at all times. They acknowledged you with a smile when you came and went. We had already booked our wine tours online, so we did not require the Hotel's assistance with tours. They also booked our driver pickup from the airport on arrival. We had this confirmed for us by our BA hotel concierge, because our Spanish is limited. While the front desk tried to assist us with shipping wine back, this is not their forte, they are really reception/front desk attendants, and my husband and I concluded that what was needed was more useful information on this topic at the wineries, in guidebooks, and here on TripAdvisor! (DHL wanted $360 US to ship - we ended up checking the bottles in a special cardboard box from Winery bought for 50-100 pesos, and paid nothing to ship MDZ to EZE, or EZE on to USA.)

The rooms are nicely decorated, and our Premier Suite (upgraded to a Wine Floor) was very comfortable for the two of us. Our room also smelled like sewer the first day. This clearly smelled like sewer gas to me, meaning that they need to flush the pipes more frequently and keep water in the traps. Whether they have figured that out or not, it was not a problem after they came up the first evening and flushed the line and (as previously reported) gave it a good dose of Pine-Sol.

Unbeknownst to us, the City was hosting a fiesta on Plaza Italia for all 3 nights we stayed, and the really LOUD music (including Italian Opera) started around 9:30 - 10 PM. Rather than get upset (we had early wine tour starts several days in a row), we decided to enjoy the opportunity. We also noticed that the Hotel might have requested some adjustments, as for the 2nd and 3rd nights the performance stage was shifted to project the music in another direction.

As the Hotel works to refine its operations, in addition to a concierge who speaks English, we have two suggestions: (1) flat screen TV in the sitting room (only in the bedroom in our room), (2) better pillows and mattresses (a bit firm for us), (3) washable comforter cover. All said, though, we were happy with our choice, fiesta and all!

Our 8 days at the Executive Hotel were wonderful. We had a suite with a lovely picture window view of the city from the living room, and a comfortable quiet bedroom. The staff were all quite helpful, many spoke English well, and if you are careful when booking, you can get some AMAZING rates. They offer a special romantic dinner for two, which includes wine, which I recommend. It's $60 US for two.

The city is very safe, lots of restaurants and shopping, and of course, easy access to wineries (bodegas) for tours and tastings. Our only disappointment was due to a mistaken assumption. We intended to hike in the Andes foothills, but guess what? They have no trail maps, no trails, no idea what day hiking is. The "foothills" that we assumed we'd find are actually quite abrupt rocky outcroppings that rise precipitously from the valley floors. They are beautiful to look at, but we drove for 2 hours trying to find some hiking trails, and were repeatedly directed to "trails" that were actually just dirt roads leading nowhere special, and travelled by cars raising dust clouds. So if you don't go to Mendoza with the expectation of hiking, you'll have a great time. We did too, as soon as we adjusted our expectations.

The hotel is located in the best part of town, and you can walk to most restaurants, plazas, and shopping easily. The staff can help with any requests for information or recommendations. We loved the room, the quiet, the staff, and the breakfast buffet was fantastic. I saw others complain of being sent to the "sister" hotel upon arrival, but we had no such experience. We passed by the "sister" and it actually looked as nice if not nicer. It's only about three blocks away. But the Executive is a great deal for a great price, if you work the website reservation area carefully. Just keep trying all the available options, and you'll find a great deal. We would stay here again.

After traveling around Argentina for a couple of weeks, we ended up at the Executive Park suites for our five-day stay in Mendoza because of all the positive reviews we saw on Trip Advisor. I will say that this place is pretty comfortable and better than, say, a Super 8. The staff was overall very helpful and nice (also bilingual). However, we encountered several problems on our stay here. Least important, their WiFi is absolutely horrible. We had two computers (a Mac and a PC) and both were unable to keep a connection. Even in their “business center,” the internet was painfully slow (I understand we cant expect blazing internet speeds everywhere, but they shouldn’t advertise high-speed internet). Also, our room smelled like sewage. We aren’t too picky when it comes to places we stay, and have had many interesting experiences, but this place was disgusting. We called about it, and that came up and poured the equivalent of PineSol into the drains, but after the pine-scent faded, it smelled like sewage again. We moved rooms twice, and it was the same. The smell alone kept you from sleeping at night. We met a couple at the hotel, and asked for their opinion (to make sure we weren’t being too picky) and they agreed. The smell alone is reason enough not to stay there.
We stayed there over Christmas, and asked the front desk to help make reservations for Christmas Eve dinner, which we were told they would do. We arrived at our reservation, the “only place open in all of Mendoza” that night, and had no such reservation. Admittedly, we are greenhorns when it comes to travel, so we trusted our “concierge” (as they called themselves) , but we didn’t think we had any other choice, so we paid the astronomical $250.00 to eat dinner, and waited until 10pm to eat. There was no choosing the meal, just a set menu. I brushed that off as our mistake, and ignorance on our part. However, a couple days later, after looking for a tour with the various local companies, the girl at the front desk convinced us to go through them, because they were about US$30 cheaper, and the tour was private and the guide was bilingual (this was not a communication issue- she wrote the details out for us). Needless to say, our guide didn’t speak a lick of English, and our private wine tour included one winery and a tour of an olive oil factory. Neither of these places were aware of us coming….we basically got a remsis, and the poor driver had to beg for us to get in. For US$30 more, we could have gotten an all-inclusive tour which would have included tasting/ tour fees. The bottom line is that I feel that we were scammed. I would not stay here again. There are so many cool boutique hotels in Mendoza (we found out later), I don’t think this place is worth the $110 per night.
