Hôtel agréable mais certaines chambres ne sont pas à la hauteur, bien choisir !
Pros:

Situation correcte pour visiter la ville. Bon petit déjeuner.

Cons:

Les photos de la chambre réservée ne correspondait pas à la réalité. On y voit derrière la fenêtre des plantes, en réalité c'est un mur tout proche et la chambre était très sombre, pas agréable. Nous avons demandé à changer de chambre. Nous avons payé un supplément pour nous retrouver dans une chambre plus lumineuse mais qui donnait sur la rue très bruyante et les fenêtres n'ont pas de double vitrage. Pour la nuit suivante nous avons eu enfin une chambre qui correspondait à nos attentes. Un accord avec le parking en face serait apprécié car il est très cher (90000 COP / nuit).

TRANQUILIDAD Y SATISFACCIÓN
Pros:

LA ATENCIÓN DE TODO EL PERSONAL, MUY CALIDOS. VOLVERÍA SIN DUDARLO PARA VOLVER A VIVIR LA EXPERIENCIA.

EL LAVAMANOS CON DESAGUE TAPADO DE LA HABITACIÓN, LAS CORTINAS EN MAL ESTADO, LOS VIDRIOS DEL EXTERIOR EXTREMADAMENTE SUCIOS, ESTO ES HABLANDO DE LA HABITACIÓN 201

Ubicacion muy conveniente
Pros:

Me gustó mucho el trato del personal, sobretodo la chica de recepcion y el botones, fueron muy amables. es un hotel muy bien ubicado, pudimos dejar el carro en el parqueadero del centro de convenciones que queda al frente, eso es un plus si viajas a Cartagena en tu vehiculo propio. Los aires acondicionados de todas las zonas perfectamente climatizados.

Cons:

Me gustaria que las habitaciones y los baños se sintieran mas limpios, hay olores fuertes a humedad todo el tiempo y los baños necesitan una limpieza profunda.
