Hotel Modular Express Calama

Все очень понравилось

다음날 새벽 시간에 아르헨티나로 가는 버스를 타려고 이호텔에 예약을 했습니다.위치도 버스터미날에서 걸어서10분 정도라 좋았고,방도깨끗했습니다. 아침식사시간 전에 떠난다고 했더니 정성스럽게 도시락도 준비해주신점 감사 드립니다.다만 한가지 나쁜점은 점심과 저녁 식사비용을 현금으론 받지 않고 신용카드로만 지불할수있다는점입니다.나는 현금이 넉넉했고 다음날 칠레를 떠나므로 더이상칠레돈이 필요 없었으나 호텔측에선 나의 현금지불을 수락하지 않았습니다. 이해가 안됨니다.칠레에 소재하는 호텔에서 칠레 돈을 사용 못한다는것이. The hotel cant accept my payment for lunch and dinner by cash. They want payment by only credit card. Why?

Clean rooms, modern feel and reasonably priced. This hotel is a short walk from the shopping/town area of Calama. The staff were very helpful and gave great advice. It reminded me of a UK travelodge.

The rooms -- including bathrooms -- are tiny, which did not bother us as digital nomads because they still offered a lot of storage. The first floor lobby spills into an enormous dining room/work hall with plenty of seating and a variety of table heights (great for me to work sitting then move to a standing position). Lots of natural light and you can people watch through the windows. 24 hour attention @ the front desk and wifi speeds work GREAT in the room and best in the lobby. Brekkie is included in your rate and very good compared to other breakfasts we have eaten throughout our stay in Chile, including eggs made to order. Cafeteria offers buffet style or a la carte lunch + dinner. The sandwich we had for dinner was average, but keep in mind there are not many restaurants open on a Sunday in the area. Secure, off-street parking and we found that ~33% of the front desk staff we encountered spoke some English. NEGATIVES: 1) The room size is tight, but fine, except that there did not seem to be much air flow. This led to us sleeping with the window cracked for circulation, but the street noise is a distraction throughout the night. Bring ear plugs. 2) The included gym is a good thought but does not have free weights/weight lifting equipment; only cardio. For ~$6 USD/$5000 CHP there is a full gym 1 block away where you can buy a day pass. 3) Hotel contract mentions a safe in the room, but we did not see one in ours?! That would have been a useful touch. 4) I know the hotel cannot help its location, but I do not believe this is in the "best" area of town. That being said, Calama is a bit rough anyway so the entire city itself statistically is not as safe as the aggregate of Chile. Case in point, EVERYONE tells you to not be out after sunset and the day of our arrival a poor teen was stabbed ~5 blocks from the hotel. This does not reflect in my rating of the hotel, but travelers should know that going into Calama/this hotel.
