Hotel Miramonti — Hotel in Copiapó

We were in Copiapo during the Dakar rally and were really lucky to get the last room at Hotel Miramonti. ||||Good things:||The room was fine, good beds, nice sheets, good shower. Good parking basement for our motorcycles. Good location close to the plaza.||||Bag things||Bad smell in the room. Had to keep the window open all the time - then it was ok. ||No wifi in the room - which was a huge issue for us. ||Extremely lame service. No charm, no smiles, just confusion. We wanted to stay an extra night and waited forever for an answer. They wanted us to leave our room and change to another. But then after a long time when we asked the manager to help us get an answer it was ok after all to stay in the same room. ||Normally we get by with our very limited Spanish, but since they were so little interested, it was almost impossible to communicate. ||||We paid $88 for the room including an average breakfast and we thought it was pretty bad value for money. ||||They need to snap out of their mindset. They are running a large hotel and not a...

After 3 weeks working up in the Atacama, this was a stopover before flying back to Santiago.||||The building looks a bit grim from the outside. Decor in the 5th floor room (facing over the town) was quite tatty - the carpets were very grubby.

Toiletries - soap (poor) and shampoo (used my own). Water pressure in the shower was pretty dismal. There was a beaten up old mini-bar fridge in the room, but it was locked - I have no idea what was inside.||||Breakfast was about what you'd expect, edible.||||I want to give it a poor rating as it's so scruffy, but in spite of the grubbiness / shabbiness I slept fairly well, which is the main point, so it gets an...

There are not many choices for hotels in Copiapo. The rooms are average to small and clean. There is a TV and small fridge. No A/C. The rooms on the front of the building get a lot of street noise. The rooms at the back get a lot of barking dogs. My room had a very strange odor. You get a free pisco sour on check-in. The restaurant is not bad. The promised wifi in the room does not work. There is wifi in the lobby. For some reason they could not explain, you cannot call to to cell phone from the phones in the room.||The staff at the desk not too helpful. No pool or other amenities. Would suggest one stay at another hotel - there are two very close to the main square which offers some good...
