Translation of saloon in Spanish

We drove to the hotel Rex where we made reservations in advance. However, once there, two American guys told us that they had a voucher from a travel agent and the price was like half of it.
I hope, you'll not be disagreeing with me, if i tell you the fact that Italian is very similar to Spanish. i keep my fingers crossed for you! Good luck in your exam and I hope to communicate with you after that.
Than we took a cab to the actual border crossing. In the cab we took gave a ride to another tourist and with some scary Peruvian guy, who had a bag full of faked CDs. He didn't seem too nice and had many scarves.
