"They upgraded my room with no extra charge and the food they offer at the restaurant has not too much to choose from but the hotel is located in a very centric location and they are a lot of different restaurants to choose from like La Olla Cartagenera, a peruvian restaurant next to the hotel, Parrilla for meet lovers, a pizza and pasta restaurant too."
