I found the hotel to be a comfortable stay with a few drawbacks. The rooms were spacious and had everything I needed, but the constant noise from the A/C vent outside the patio was a downside. The cleanliness and orderliness were noticeable pluses during my stay.

I had a fantastic stay at the hotel. The rooms were silent, clean, spacious, and had a high-speed WiFi connection, which was perfect for my work needs. The service was top-notch with polite and welcoming staff always ready to help. Despite some minor language barriers, the staff was friendly and helpful. The location was safe, close to the business hub of Cartagena, making it convenient for my business trip. However, the dining experience was dissatisfying with extremely limited breakfast options and lukewarm coffee. The facilities were modern and comfortable, offering a pleasant stay overall.

The hotel offers spacious and silent rooms, perfect for working, and comfortable with a great work desk and good Wi-Fi connection. However, the patio inside the hotel with the A/C vent can create noise constantly. The service was a mix of actively rude behavior in some instances and helpful and friendly assistance in others. The location, though quite far out, is safe even at night, but lacks activities unless you have a rental car. The dining experience was dissatisfactory with extremely limited options and lukewarm coffee, although the grilled steaks were a positive. The facilities are adequate, though some aspects could be improved.
