Just as almost everybody else has said, the neighborhood isn’t nice. There is a bohemian neighborhood a short seven minute walk. A certain name change to Le Meridien, they still have a lot to do to bring this hotel up to Marriott standards.

Wonderful hotel and staff.
We really like this hotel. One of the best so far. It is very close to the main tourist attractions, which allowed us to walk to. However; what we enjoyed the most was the hotel staff. They were so polite and ready to help us with our needs and answering our questions. The two concierge/ bell men were especially helpful in telling is what to visit and how to get there. They also continuously reminded us to be careful for pick pockets and they were right as we met people that were robbed during their stay. Highly recommend to all travelling to Santiago to stay at this hotel.

Location is excellent; 5 min walk to the subway and dozens of bus stops at your doorstep. The area around the hotel is quite rundown; business closed. The closest restaurant area is 15 min away. The property is in the middle of restoration; will belong to Marriott as of December. The rooms are certainly not in best shape. Dirty carpet and dated furniture.

It does not show on the hotel listing, but the Crowne Plaza was at the epicenter of civil protests 2-3 years ago. As such, the neighborhood is still very much boarded up and graffitied everywhere. It's very close to Lastarria but the immediate surrounding of the hotel is desolate. Additionally, the photos on the listing are not up-to-date. While it looks like some renovations have been done to the entrance and common (eating) areas, the hotel is a bit shabbier than the photos let on. There was some mould on the ceiling of our bathroom and the wood on the doors was in bad shape from lack of bathroom ventilation. The rooms are in need of an upgrade. The bed was very comfy and clean, though. We were particularly annoyed that the listing shows photos of a nice, well-equipped gym (which is a must for us when travelling). However, 1 of the 3 photos of the gym is clearly not at this hotel (the one with the pullies). Lastly, the Expedia listing mentioned the pool would be open from November to April. We arrived Nov 19th and the pool was not open and did not seem to be in the process of opening shortly. I recommend you look at the Crowne Plaza website directly to see if it's open or not.

Hotel is very tired. It is walled in behind guarded heavy security gates. The immediate area is awash in graffiti, and all stores and shops in the immediate area have permanently closed. Carpeting was worn and dirty and toilet did not flush properly.
