The breakfast is the best part of this hotel. For $10 a person you can't beat it! The staff are pretty nice, especially compared to other people in this area.
The general attitude in this area is really grouchy, which is quite the difference from coming from Medellin.
The room had a folded blanket on the bed with other people's hair in it, which was alarming and disgusting, and the bathroom floor the same (other people's hair on the floor and stuck to various parts of the bathroom).
For some reason we were not given any washcloths, only one hand towel, and half a roll of toilet paper with no back up roll.
The gym is pretty sparse. There are free weights, a bench, and two treadmills. There are two flat yoga balls and a water dispenser but no cups, so you have to bring your own bottles or cups.
The pool has a nice view but it is extremely tiny, and is for merely getting wet, there's no way you could swim laps at all.
Parking is good, we drove motorcycles, and we liked taking the lift up to the garage.
Security was very attentive and helpful, very pleasant people.
Their convenience store in the lobby is very sparse but they do have some drinks and ice cream.
We were happy to go to Santa Marta once, but probably will never return. The wind at night is absolutely crazy, it feels like a hurricane is about to happen or happening. No exaggeration there. This hotel isn't a bad place to stay for two nights, which is what we did, but would not recommend staying longer.
