Hotel Principado Express — Hotel in Santiago

A 3 star hotel with 5 star service. While the rooms may not be outstanding due to the unfamiliar nature of using tile inside the guest bedrooms, it's slightly more palatable with 2 large rugs next to both sides of the lovely bed.

The desk was a little bit small, so when i had to work it was not the top of confort. The rest was ok.
