Overall the hotel was nice. The decor payed homage to the indigenous Diaguitas culture of the Coquimbo region. The breakfast was also good. The hotel employee was a really nice guy, though coming from the US with only basic Spanish I found his accent hard to understand. He offered me a bigger room, and I took when I discovered the door knob lock got messed up. Very centrally located in the middle of Illapel.

Some facilities can be improved. Again - had an issue with the door lock, handle. But I was offered a larger nicer room. Keep in mind Illapel, is a small town off the tourist track in Chile. I stopped there for the night as I was intrigued by the Chinchilla reserve. I was seriously the only tourist in town. But found the people to be very nice, but make sure you know some basic Spanish as no one will speak much english!
