“This 3-star Cartagena hotel stands slightly apart from the city's core, a trade-off for value. I noted the presence of a restaurant specializing in regional dishes, alongside expected amenities like a pool and fitness area. What stood out most was the staff's dedication, an aspect that clearly elevates the experience despite the need for some refurbishment.”
