The hotel seems pretty, the pool was closed for 3 out the 4 days I was there and service at the pool for the day it was opened below standard. Guest aren’t allowed to enter your room unless they’re at the same hotel. $125 daily guest fee which is absurd.

This hotel is really nice, and convenient and walkable to stores and restaurants. The staff is very nice. Very nice. The included breakfast was the same every morning, and wished they switched it up a few, but we ended up walking to another breakfast spot not to far away. Lastly, I thought the hotel was a bit pricey, but that was my opinion. Other than that, I loved the place!

Communication with staff was difficult! I was overcharged and overwhelmed with staff not understanding conversion with currency! I had a friend who came on the last day to pick up a package for his wedding day and was charged 500,000 COP for only 30mins! I called several times to get my room cleaned and didn’t get it clean for days even when I called for room service (toilet) couldn’t flush! I gave videos of the condition of my room not being clean! I also experienced a bit of racism which I wouldn’t expect especially traveling to Columbia! Staff weren’t attentive to my needs as well as my friend who we came down to celebrate! As I kept calling the hotel this afternoon to tell them that I am missing two expensive watches! And a ring from my bag! I would never stay at this location ever! My experience was horrible! Only experience that was enjoyable were the welcoming staff downstairs and Jorge who took my bag on the 1st date and was friendly and knowledgeable!
