I have to stay in Santiago for a few days next month and I was wondering if someone could recommend a decent Hotel. I don't need anything too luxurious but don't want a dump either.

Hotel in Santiago

Over $50 and yes car. I like the Hodelpa Centro Plaza so far, it is near where I need to be and the price is not too bad at $90.
In room Wifi is also a must.
I did a google search before I asked and they were some shifty looking places so this really helps!
Hotel Los Jardines is the place behind the Gran Almirante...nice place but rooms are small, well below $90 and you can walk to several great restaurants and bars. I haven't stayed there in a while, but they did have decent wifi and a good breakfast when I was there, wifi didn't reach all the rooms though...could be better now. The other Hodelpas are way over $90.
If you want to stay downtown near the Holdepa Centro Plaza, Aloha Sol is a less expensive option.

Two other good options around $50-60/night, but apart from being close to PUCMM and PriceSmart (Platino) and Highway to SD/POP, HOMS, and La Sirena (Century Plaza) the locations aren't all that convenient.
Platino IMO is the best value in Santiago. $50/nt, WIFI, Free American Breakfast (thats actually good), and secure parking.
It's across the street from PriceSmart. Definitely better than Hodelpa Centro Plaza, which is in an area where you wouldn't want to walk at night.

Hotel Platino is far from being across Pricesmart, Imao so don't expect to just walk across and visit the pricesmart, because is going to be a long walk. That being said, Is more or less across from PUCMM. Being a Santiago resident, I've never had the chance to stay in any of the hotels in Santiago, but from what I've heard Platino is one of the best, though many have forgotten to mention that just like Gran Almirante, Matum etc it also has a casino attach to it. The Gran Almirante and the other Hodelpa are also soposedly very good, ah and Aloha Sol in the historic center. I would stay in Camp David for the view and the pleasant mountain climate, but is kind of away from the center of city, and it doesn't sound like it would fit what you're looking for.

Last time i stayed there a neighbor a street over was blasting show tunes from a 2nd floor balcony right around siesta time. There must be some Dominicanized gringos around there.
Agree that the rooms are way to small but they have central air and good breakfast included for your 50 bucks.
