Hotel Blanco Encalada

The room was nice and had a view of the ocean and the beach. Breakfast was basic but OK.

The rooms were clean, the beach was within walking distance, and the staff and nearby restaurants were very friendly.

Vents evidently rusted as well as bathroom piping and fixtures. Cabinet handles broken and fixtures poorly maintained. Disappointed in accomodations as a presentation of Expedia's post offerings and for the price charges.

We have arrived 30 minutes prior to the check-in time. Even if our room was ready, the staff forced us to wait for 30 minutes in the lobby. The staff were very unfriendly. They offered beach towels to other passengers, but refused us! The hotel is old and extremely overpriced (almost 150 USD per night). Amenities were poor. The only good thing was that the AC was working good, as the nights were cold. Be aware that there is now elevator and you have to carry your own luggage up to 4 floors.

The only suggestion we have is when there is a scheduled electrical shut off that the hotel advise the client or post a note to notify the time frame in which there is no electricity. Otherwise, we will be back as it's a fantastic place with great service and perfect location.
