Crowne Plaza Hotel Santiago

To break up our trip from Miami to Easter Island we decided to stop in Santiago, Chile. Since we did not have plans to spend too much time in Santiago we went with the Crowne Plaza, as we were able to redeem hotel points and stay at no charge.

The hotel was clean and the staff pleasant and accommodating. The rooms were comfortable and with all the expected amenities. In addition to the hotel restaurant and bar we were also able to utilize the executive lounge at no additional cost. The lounge provided a cooked-to-order hot breakfast in the morning as well as the continental breakfast items. Snacks and beverages were available at all hours of the day in the lounge and from 5:00pm there was a selection of liquor, beer, and wine.

We did have the opportunity to try the restaurant at the hotel and I would say it was over-priced for what it was. The transportation cost to the hotel from the airport was $28 USD by taxi.

Overall, if you're getting a free stay it is ideal. If you're paying the location may not be the best.
