The Park Plaza Review

The Park Plaza calls itself a boutique hotel, but the uniformed bellhops and traditional decor (not to mention 104 rooms) make it a midsize hotel known for its personalized service. The hotel's salient feature is its perfect location on a tree-lined street just 1 block from Providencia's shops and services. The hotel has a traditional decor, with Oriental rugs, brocade fabrics, wingback chairs, and wood-paneled walls. While the hotel is kept spotlessly clean, its claim of luxury guest rooms is a stretch, and many of the guest rooms and bathrooms are musty and are beginning to show wear and tear. Still, the rooftop pool is a nice perk, and you simply can't beat the location. If you are looking for a little more independence, the Plaza's Park Suite Apartments around the corner (Lota 2233) are a good deal at $100 (£64) for a one-bedroom. They each come with fully furnished kitchenettes, seating areas, and full use of the hotel facilities. Prices are reduced for multiday stays.

Facilities:
Restaurant; bar; indoor rooftop pool; health center; sauna; concierge; Internet access; room service; babysitting; laundry service

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
