I just spent 11 days in Hotel Century Plaza, having stayed at Matum, Platino and Gran Almirante often in the past.
Very nice experience. I paid RD$1795 for a fine, nice-sized room w Queen bed, flat screen TV, well appointed bathroom, not at all claustrophobic. The rate includes breakfast The power never went out.
The restaurant was surprisingly good (I miss their fruit platter in the morning), and seems to be popular with well-heeled locals and groups. The parking is plentiful.
The hotel lobby is large and welcoming. The location is between the Autopista and Duarte on Rafael Vidal. I didn't find the location to be particularly that far out of the way at all, maybe 5-7 mins from the Monument.
It's too bad the owners do not believe in advertising.
I will now make the Hotel Century Plaza as my recommended hotel in Santiago for those who have a car.
