This station does have escalators and elevators. It also has automated machines and a staffed counter to load value to your "Bip!" card.

There is a huge painting right outside of the metro station which gives it a little added warmth. Bella Artes is connected to the green line and is just one stop away from Baquedano transfer point ( that's the convenient part). I live right between metro Bellas Artes and Metro Santa Lucia and I can cheat time every once in a while and jump on the Bellas Artes (green line) and get to the Baquedano transfer station and over to the red line. This literally saves you two whole metro stops and really makes the difference if you are running late to work like I always am. The inside of the station is also super simple. You can pull money out at the ATM machines located inside and charge your BIP (metro card) with either cash at the counter or through the automatic machines.

I stayed here for about 2 weeks for work and I was overall very happy with the hotel and my room. I…read morehad a Junior Suite on a high floor, the room was large and the bed comfortable. The view of the city and the mountain was spectacular. The hotel is located near a couple of large malls and many restaurants, plus everything I wanted to see was a 10 minute Uber ride away. The staff was friendly and helpful. The gym was a bit spartan, no bikes of any kind, but they do have some good machines and teadmills. The pool is outside and okay, but I didn't use it. I would definitely stay here again!

The front desk messed up my key card access for the room so I had to drag my luggage all the way back down from the 23rd floor to have them re-do it. First world problems. The room was foolishly large with insane views of the city from the 23rd floor, also where the sucky executive lounge is located. The only thing they offer is non-alcoholic beverages and stupid snacks like M&Ms and raisins. But hey, at least it's 24 hours. As for complimentary breakfast at Cafe Med, I have never been more unimpressed with a breakfast buffet at a Marriott. And I average over 30 nights a year at Marriott properties. The food was absolutely atrocious. Overall, the hotel has zero charm given its location inside a business center. The only reason I'm at 4 stars is because of the upgrade, the gym and the pool. The gym is pretty stacked with equipment and the pool area is quite nice.

If location is key, this is your place. The rest of the hotel has this 1980's-type feel to it. Like it was really elegant and fancy back then and they never bothered to update anything - they even have a doorman dressed up in some fancy garb. I stayed here twice, the first time was in a standard room which was very basic (bed, nightstand, bathroom, chairs, TV). The second time I somehow got upgraded to a suite and the room was huge, even had its own living room. You'll get different services based on which package you buy, I got a free drink at the bar (choice of pisco sour or a glass of wine) and they gave me a bottle of wine at the turn-down service. The pool was closed, which was strange because it's indoor and on the top floor. Not bad, but not particularly nice.

This major transfer station is horrible in the mornings. It is located in El Barrio Universitario…read more(the university neighborhood) which is exactly what it sounds like. Lots of of students and lots of universities. Because this metro station is right in the middle of the University neighborhood lots of students are going to and from this metro station in the mornings. If you get on the metro here around 7:30 am you should be fine. Anything after 7:30, between 8 am and 10am and be ready to wait for the mad rush of people getting on and off the metro. Besides the terrible rush hours this metro station is super convenient as it connects the red line with the yellow line. In fact it is one of the few metro stations that transfers to the yellow line. Be careful not to get lost in this metro station as it is one of the bigger ones in Santiago.

I was looking for a way to get to Valle Nevado for a day of snowboarding and loved the fact that…read moreSki Total not only offered bus rides up to the slopes, but also handled the equipment rental. I arrived early at 7am to buy my ticket and rent my gear. The snowboarding gear they rented was horrible, so if you're looking for more premium stuff, you'd be better off renting directly on the mountain at the ski shop. On the plus, they did rent pants and a jacket, which in my experience is outside of the standard ski/snowboard rental options. There was a really long line to buy the bus ticket and they only had 1 (sometimes 2) employees handling the exchange. By the time it was all said and done, I met my group at the mountaintop close to noon. What I did like about Ski Total is the buses. I got a comfortable seat by the window and the bus wasn't large, but just big enough to fit about 12-15 people. The ride up was fine, but on the ride down, I got terrible altitude sickness (not Ski Total's fault!). Next time I'd take some aspirin as the ride down can be pretty brutal with all the slow, jerky twists and turns down the mountain. I would use Ski Total again, but only if I had my own gear and had a bus ticket in advance so I could leave on the earliest ride out.

Super expensive, and the service wasn't very good…read more Used this company to shuttle us from Santiago up to Valle Nevado and for equipment rentals. I had emailed them back and forth a few times to arrange for the hotel pickup. They were semi responsive and answered my questions as best as they could. They picked us up at the hotel on day of around 7am, then took us to their shop, and we paid for and were given slips for our equipment rental. The snowboard selection was slim pickings and were super old terrible snowboards. There was only 1 that was the length I needed, and it had deep gouges on the board, never been sharpened or waxed. The guy at the rental shop gave me major attitude for asking them to wax the board and adjust the bindings for me. The boots were all falling apart and smelled like dead fish rotting for a century. It was really disgusting. The quality was just lowest of the low. Since I had very little choice, I went with whatever and just make the best out of it. Our bus up the mountain was suppose to leave at 8am, it did not leave until 8:30. We sat there waiting and waiting for a half an hour. Due to us being late getting on the road, we hit traffic and didn't get to the resort until 10:30am. The same bus picked us up at 5pm the same afternoon and brought as back. Then we had to wait for another bus to take us back to the hotel. The crappy snowboard rental was $43usd for the day, snowboard and boots, and the RT shuttle from hotel to Valle Nevado was als $44usd. It's really quite pricey for what you get. Service is slow and not very good.
