Diego de Almagro Lomas Verdes

My wife and I stayed at the Diego Almagro Lomas Verdes during a vacation in Concepción. The location was tough, but it can work. The hotel is very close to the airport, off a major highway (access only possible from northbound lanes). There is a large mall just down the road, but getting there on foot could be dicey (walking, the Santa Isabel 1km south may be easier). There is a free hotel shuttle, however bear in mind it only operates certain days and limited times. The hotel appears modern with clean rooms and nice facilities and reliable wifi. We had a problem with a hairdryer that was fixed very quickly. The pool and exercise room were empty whenever we went which was nice. Breakfast was good; nothing fancy; they had slightly more on weekday mornings when there were more guests. Most days there were very few people around; we had dinner there one night (tasty) and we were the only people around. We used the hotel as a base to explore Concepción. While we couldn't walk anywhere, we made good use of the shuttle (the driver was nice about picking us up) and taxis. The front desk staff were kind when we dropped by or called, and forgiving of imperfect Spanish. We did have one not-great night when there was a party in one of the rooms on the main floor (we were on the second floor), and the music came through loud and clear via the air vents until about 10:20 PM...so maybe consider a room on a higher floor. In the end, a good stay for the price.
