Inti Punku Machupicchu Hotel & Suites

This place has everything: Mysterious smells, faulty appliances, restless nights and rude staff. You know what’s the best thing after completing a multi day hike? Taking a hot shower. The worst thing? A bathroom that smells of sewage, lacks toiletries and it’s so slippery you might get the injuries you tried your best to avoid during your hike. If being greeted by the smell of mold is your thing, look no further, this is your ideal place. Want a hair dryer that keeps shutting off? (is it timed? Is it just crappy? We will never know!) This is the place for you. (We asked for a replacement and they told us they’d bring it to us, but they forgot about it so we had to go retrieve it to the lobby, top tier hospitality.) Want a screeching, loud A/C unit that will make you beg for the building to collapse on you while you’re desperately trying to fall asleep? Book a room for an unforgettable experience (And I mean this is in the least complimentary way possible). Worst of it, when we left our luggage for storage they possibly played soccer with our duffel bags and broke one of our souvenirs: an artisanal coffee liqueur, that ruined and made a sticky mess of our stuff. On top of this, they made us clean the mess they created and didn’t even apologize for their mistakes. (just fyi, we did pack the glass bottle for traveling and adding padding so it wouldn’t break and make it through TSA unscathed and put it in bag to avoid any issues in case of spillage and they still managed to break it, what an achievement.) If you want to experience the juxtaposition of a marvelously lousy stay while admiring one of the seven wonders of the world, please, throw away your money in this sorry excuse of a hotel.
