Santiago
24 августа 2023 г.
I reserved this hotel because the room I found had a beautiful terrace with a wonderful view. I was looking forward to that and I bought the bottle of wine I would drink on that terrace while reading and writing on my first night. I was given a different room with no terrace, barely a place to sit and a window to the loud road outside. They were full (even though I checked in very early) so they wouldn’t honor my booking, and refused a discount because in their view all the rooms were “the same category”. The hotel is very pretty, but it’s inconveniently located on a busy road with no sidewalks, and after sunset it closes down. At 8pm I was left outside under heavy rain trying to find my way in, finally found an inconspicuous door bell. After a while someone just yells from behind the wall “who is it?” and I’m trying to give a yelling explanation under the rain with loud cars going by next to me. One of a few weird interactions there. I was looking forward to a relaxing haven, but next time I’d rather stay in a more affordable hotel closer to town.
