Looking For Moderate Price Hotel w/Pool

[HombreSucio]

interested in finding decent hotels in Santiago complete with a/c, color tv, decent bed/mattress generally clean and quiet

and must have a nice swimming pool.

figure 3+ stars or better

can be a family type place. it'll be for a weekend. i'll probably have wheels so it doesn't have to be centrally located.

Thanks

There is the casino and then there is the Marriott. Just two places with a pool.

I stayed at the marriot a few times and posted some pics that have the room and the pool in a previous thread trip report, I used comp points the times i stayed there but,
I believe their rates are $ 129.00 night US or so for a regular room, they have restaurant, pool, internet and i had no problem discreetly bringing in girls...

jimmydr.... i've read your past trip report about the marriot. isn't the rate like USD$100+ per day? any noise from air traffic?

"The Casino" .... do you mean Hotel Matum near the monument? i hung ouy there one night this past june. i think they advertise something like USD$75. per...... but didn't know the had a pool! they did have 2 different discos to dance at. only you better have long pants on saturday night or you're not getting in!

to clarify.....

i'd like something at least on the level of the new garden or hotel casa cayena for below like USD$70. per

is that do-able in santiago?

thanks

sure a basic room at the hotel platino, but it does not have a pool, but it's a great hotel.
the Grand Alamirante is about 259.00 night, so the marriott is definatly a moderate hotel for santiago with ameneties, it's just out of your price range

Nothing like that in Santiago. Try Jarrabaccoa.

Santiago Mariott has weekend specials but not in the $70 and under range. Most of the good hotels in STI have american pricing because that is who stays there. I have had a tour of the Mariott in STI and it is worth the price. They also offer a discount for US government personal, PD and FD. The dude i brought over there was a NYFD and he got close to $30 off. But that was back in March.

UPDATE: Just checked and it seems they no longer like US Government employees. No discount. Fuck them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
