I missed you too man. Thanks for the link rates look good (got a link to Century?)
My concern is early am drive to STI and not sure how far Platino is?

[Tamborista]

Platino is 10-15 minutes, with no traffic, to STI, allow 1/2 hour,
Better off staying the last "few hours" in a Cabana, walking distance to STI!
No link to Century.

Thanks, I have an early flight so I won't need the cabana. I see on a google map the airport appears southeast of the city south of Licey and it would appear from the city you would take Av 27 de Febrero. What part of the city is Platino in? City looks big and scary to a LumberJack.

Platino is right acrosss from the entrance to P.U.C.M.M. on Av. Estrella Sadhala.

You do not want to take that road. You take the highway into Santiago. At an early hour it is all of 15 minutes.

Hotel Platino is on Estrella Sadhala which is south of the highway about 1/2 mile at Plaza Platino.

There are other hotels that are easier to get to, such as the Century Plaza but if it is the Platino you want, just tell the driver Hotel Platino Por Favor!! and he'll get you there.

Piece of cake.

I found that on there website (a surprisingly good one) map where they claim it is 5 minutos to the aeropuerto. It would appear you go north on Estrella to the Autopista Duerte hacia aeropuerto east? Is the Autopista Duerte the same as Carr. juan pable duere? I am trying to match the hotel map up to a google map.

I should clarify I will be flying out not in and will be driving myself. Hillbilly do you have any info on Century? They are my first choice at least for this trip. If I was departing on a later flight I would not worry about it so much and would want to be down by the monument. Thanks any info will be greatly appreciated.

Trust me, you want to stay at the Century Plaza. The hotel is very well kept, although the rooms are alittle on the smallish side. However, the service is great, the little restaurant downstairs is affordable and serves delicious food. Again the price at the restaurant are surprisingly low for the quality of food. Make sure you get them to give you the breakfast included in their price.
