Traveling north returning to Lima, i searched for an overnight stay in Paracas. Parking was a priority due to having a rental car. Hotel rates were high, but opted for Casa Andina based on my past experiences. Arriving a bit late, pulled up in front to check in and drop my bag. Guy would not allow me one of the two open handicap parking places to a 63 year old guy with a bum leg. Rental car of course does not have adequate markings. So get sent over to the goat pasture lot. Make the long trek back with my remaining things. Guy wants to help me with my bag… that’s not what i needed. I needed one of the remaining parking spots. Not sure who those were saved for…? Next morning, i get a coffee from near the check in desk on way back to room from breakfast. Then come back a bit later, now 10:10am with my cup, and no coffee, ask about it. Pot is sitting nearby at the bar, “oh no with a smile, that’s over”. Ok, well thats an approach that can be taken, same as the parking. After paying a high premium price, I’m done, that’s for Casa Andina. I fly and travel a lot for business, 50-100 hotel rooms per year. Casa Andina has moved way down the list of preferred locations unfortunately. Especially due to the premium price paid.
