We stayed at the Marina Del Rey for 4 nights in early January. This is the prime tourist season in Vina so finding a room required some searching. We were glad to have found such a nice place to stay on such short notice. We arrived by bus from Santiago and were in Vina for several days without a car. The hotel is too far from the main bus station to walk there with luggage, so just grab one of the many cabs at the station.

The hotel staff is friendly and helpful. The daily buffet breakfast is huge with several hot entries, fresh fruit, juices and coffees served in a large, attractive and sunny room. The hotel is 5-6 blocks inland from the ocean, but it is an easy walk down a main street. We walked nearly everywhere and did not feel uncomfortable walking in town even after our typically late Chilean dinner. The hotel has internet access so staying in touch by email was a breeze.

The rooms are on the small side, especially since there were 3 of us traveling together. However the baths were very clean with plenty of hot water. There is free on-site parking if you have a car, a nice bar for a quick pisco sour, and attractive common areas.

Other reviewers mentioned a problem with construction noise. The work must be done now. We didn't have a problem with that, but the hotel is on a major arterial so there is some traffic noise. All in all, a perfectly fine place to stay at a reasonable price.
