thanks for your prompt answer. With the name of that bus company I found the
following link that might be helpful:

http://www.omnilineas.com/argentina/bus/retiro/mar-del-plata/

(though I will follow your advice and buy my ticket directly at Retiro).

Is the checkin counter of the hotel (I will stay at the Dora hotel) open
