    Wifi is too slow and breakfast is served too late (7:30 AM) especially if you have an appointment al 8:00 AM o’clock.

    I like the location asides the Merga Marga river and walking distance from the beach snd restaurants. Parking are is welcome.

    The door room was a problem since we arrived. The system to open the door is old and the card keys didn’t help too much. We went to the concierge two times the first day and two more the next day, the other time we were lucky that a housekeeping person was there. The tv signal wasn’t great too, they have to change providers or do something with the static

    The location is good. The breakfast was surprisingly good and with a lot of food. The staff was friendly and helpful.

    Windows... Our room windows were full of seagull crap, and walking around the hotel I saw more examples of this. Just wash those windows, it looked like nobody washed them since early 2000s.

    I liked breakfast and the view

    It’s worn. Badly needs updating. Peeling paint, very dirty carpet. This hotel could be so much better. It has a lot going for it.

    On foot the entrance to the hotel is very obscure, with access through an unrelated passage past elevators and shops, not very welcoming under any circumstances. I was booked in to a room in building B which I am sure is only opened up when the main building is fully booked. It meant taking a lift to the 13th floor, climbing 2 sets of stairs and descending a very steep set of stairs on the other side. They should've paid attention to my age when they decided to put me in that building as I am 70 years old and found it hard to negotiate the stairs. My bedroom smelled like sewer, presumably because the bathrooms don't get a regular flush of water and fortunately I was moved to a room in building A where I had asked to be moved once the weekend visitors left Vina Del Mar.

    The location was central and with easy access to most restaurants and the shoreline. The staff were accommodating and friendly in typical Chilean fashion. All lovely, friendly people.

    The location was convenient

    This property might’ve been worth 4 stars in it’s heyday but 40 years down the track it had become neglected and in a poor state of comfort. I was allocated a room in building B which requires climbing 2 flights of stairs. Aged 70 this was difficult enough for me, I would hate to think how a 70 year old in poor health would cope. The rooms in building B clearly get pulled out of the mothballs during busy periods. The rooms smelled like sewerage, the carpet was dirty, and the tiles in the bathroom were cracked and mouldy. The entrance to the hotel was not obvious and down some sort of alley. Too expensive and not recommended.

    Property needs an update. One of elevators was out of order every other day. Pool was closed the whole week for maintenance. Card keys to get into our room were always deactivated, and need to go to the lobby every evening to get a new one. They shutdown the water during the night without any warning.
