The building itself is dated but in decent condition. Lukewarm water in the shower both days we were there! There is a heavy freight line(train track) not maybe 35 yards from the building - the building vibrates/shakes every time a train goes by, on our first night, that was every 2 hours!! The second night wasnt so bad - every 3 hours!! We wouldve stayed elsewhere but the room was prepaid a month out. We wont be back.

From the moment we walked in the gentleman who helped us with our room was wonderful very friendly and nice. This is an older hotel but has been recently remodeled. The bathrooms were gorgeous. The room had a nice two-tone paint to it and was very very clean. Mattress was comfortable had a monster TV with tons of TV channels. The in-house restaurant serve Columbian food and had a great selection of Colombian and Island beers. Would definitely stay here again.

Not worth it

The hotel was way overpriced for what they offered. It had the quality of a cheap hotel. The telephone didn’t work, the TV remote didn’t work and the room had no privacy. If you open the curtains since it opens to a wall.. We asked to change room since we are facing a wall, but we’re not able to get another kind of room. I would not recommend this hotel. And, they offer no breakfast.

Overall it is a ok place, it is near the tourists attractions, but far enough away to avoid most of the crowds. You will get your steps in staying here. Be aware that the train tracks are right behind the hotel, our room was in the front of the hotel, so it was never a problem. The shower is nice sized, the water is hot, but lacked pressure. But let me tell you about the hidden gem in this hotel.... the Columbian restaurant De Leon....OMG AMAZING!!!! You will have to wait for a table, but trust me, it is worth the wait! Food is fresh, authentic and more than plentiful, definitely sharable portions. If you chose another hotel, I highly recommend visiting the restaurant, your taste buds will thank me! Happy travels!
