Room With an Anti-View: Gray Days at the Lyon Hotel, Buenos Aires

You know the scene. You open the door to your brand new hotel room, run over to the window, open the blinds and bam, you are hit with the anti-view. Maybe you are looking down a dirty alley, witnessing a drug deal, staring at an air shaft in the face, or seeing a brick wall. Whatever you are viewing it is not extremely pleasurable. Help out your fellow hotel mavens by uploading your anti-views to the HotelChatter/Flickr photo pool, or by sending the photo along to us. Remember to tell us the name of the hotel and the room number with the not-so-easy-on-the-eyes view.

Gray weather doesn't help this particularly gray anti-view from the Lyon Hotel in Buenos Aires. A huge mess of power lines doesn't help either, and unless you can really focus on that tiny strip where you can see something like an old church, there's really nothing pretty to look at at all. Having said that, the photographer was extremely fair :

All said and done, a decent hotel. The view is typical of the central part of the city.

Yep, a very fair opinion. At least the rates aren't too exorbitant--$85 for a double or $100 a night for a triple suite also seems fair, given the views are nothing to write home about.
