Week in Santiago

[mr_yayo]

Hey folks, I decided on a last minute trip to STI, approx a week stay. 
Had  a few question regarding hotel.

Looking for a budget hotel, $40 USD or under, guest friendly.
Close to gym where I can get a week pass or something. (I'm a gym rat)
Sort of central, meaning I can walk around to restaurants, maybe a casa/whore house or two and not be dependent on taxis.

Also is public transport OK in Santiago getting from the airport how should I expect to pay $20-30 USD for a 3 mile ride?


Thanks-  apologies if this is already covered, the search is a bit weird.

600 to 800($18) Pesos for the Taxi ride from the Airport is what I normally pay for the taxi guys that are on stand-by.

Thank you gents.

torso8, one hell of a report my friend!

However I think the statement "Santiago is not Sosua"  has made me rethink my options.  I will head to POP instead.  It is a different of $160 to STI or $250 to POP.   This is a quick trip to blow of some steam and clear my head so to speak so I don't need the extra hassles.

So since you're heading to POP instead of STI, I'm assuming you'll be staying in Sosua? 

If so, I'm not familiar with any particular $40 hotels, but I do know Sosua has plenty of $40 ABnBs.  Just go to the app and search the strip area...$40 and below spots will pop up. 

And there's also a gym within walking distance (same building as Coral Reef Casino, I think) right next to the beach.
