“straight from the 60s and nothings changed”

this hotel was built in the 60s and nothing has changed. The rooms are reasonably comfortable and warm but its very tired.
All of the linens and towels are threadbare and chewing gum grey.
Staff are mediocre - not particularly helpful and everything seems like an effort. Its like they have better things to do (ie stand around gossiping) than help guests. I had a tour company leave a message for me at 6pm - but it was not given to me when i returned at 8pm - instead reception decided to ring me at 11pm to give me the message (WTF?!?!).
There is also major construction going on outside the hotel - which goes from 7am - 9pm. Breakfast is again mediocre - the eggs are always cold (and look like they've been there for at least an hour) and the bread is often hard.

We arrived at La Paz airport after a pretty horrible journey and were met by Fernando and Enid, a lovely bolivian couple who are the parents-in-law of Caroline, our travel helper! They gave us lots of coca tea to help with the altitude and drove us down to the centre of La Paz, roughly half an hour. Luckily, we weren´t affected by the road …

... blocks around the city with farmers which I read was regarding a proposed road through the remote Amazon region. This certainly made getting around La Paz interesting, and left us stranded for 1 hour waiting for taxis on the other side of town, taking a taxi ride for 40 minutes which would have taken 10 minutes to walk and missing a tour! But as we heard, this is all part of being in La Paz. There were further road-blocks down south which meant that the train we were catching to Uyuni ...
