I liked the staff! I liked that it was near the beach, shopping and restaurants. I also like that it's only a 10 minute drive from the city center/historic town. I did not like vendors coming up to me while eating my breakfast in the outdoor seating area. I did not like that property has alot of cracks and holes.

1st we have to keep in mind that the place is near the coast, its located in a very convenient spot, you can walk around and have a lot of options to dine in. The staff is friendly, they will help you and accommodate your needs , its not like a city hotel, so don’t expect that experience. The rooms decent sized, the bathrooms were a bit small. I kept hitting my elbows with the shower doors. One time we were out and when we came back there was a leak in plumbing in the bathroom, the offer us to move us to another room, we stayed in the same room and they did the best to fix it, it was Sunday and they moved us to a bigger room like a day before and we decided to stay, it was not a big deal. In the first floor they have a restaurant with a very good menu. The only thing we had a bit issue was with the cleaning, we requested to get the room cleaned because of a bit of sand on the bed and when we came to sleep we still had sand on our linen of the bed so that was the only issue. But over all was not a bad experience.

Julio

Disliked: Amenities
Staff was OK, but one giant issue: the hot water is basically non-existent above the first floor. The water pressure is so bad, that twice the water turned off completely while I was in the shower. And about the water - the hot water was non existent as well, being only perhaps 1 or 2 degrees above the temperature of the cold water. When I first reported this, they told me some nonsense such as "oh, most people like cool showers when they come in and it's been hot all day". Guess what - I rather choose for myself if I have to or want to take a cold shower or not. Then about the lack of water and it turning off, they told me it's kind of "normal" around the area. In fact the day before I saw people in a restaurant taking water in buckets up the stairs to work in the kitchen. Now I get why they were doing that. Eventually the got the water a little hotter - apparently turning up the furnace temperature. Are you really that cheap that you turn it nearly off? And why hasn't anyone else complained? The included breakfast is OK, but nothing that you would write home about. The area is OK and easy access to food, shopping, and the beach. Oh, about the beach - google it - the beaches in this area are lets say..... pretty sad. Most will tell you to not bother, and go to a private beach club, preferably on one of the islands. A couple of the staff where friendly. But keep in mind the issue about the hot water and the water pressure. Book at your own risk.

Lo mejor de este hotel la ubicación, recomiendo no dejar objetos de valor ni tarjetas bancarias. WiFi no funciona, tampoco la tv, papelera del baño rota, poco papel higiénico, toallas no habían cuando llegamos (estaban en lavandería), las habitaciones huelen a humedad, sábanas manchadas, el desayuno repetitivo y un única opción (desayuno típico colombiano, arepa, huevo, pan, frijoles y salchichas) todos los días!

No me gusto nada!! El hotel está muy bien ubicado, pero es muy viejo y descuidado... aire acondicionado antiguo no se podía regular la temperatura tuvimos que apagarlo. La cama y muebles muy viejos, no había colcha ni nada para el frío, el internet era muy lento. Desayuno fatal y nos atendieron muy mal a la hora del desayuno. No lo recomendaría, por ese precio puedes conseguir algo mucho mejor y más moderno!!
