Overall, the experience would have been about what I expect of average hotels in Cartagena. There were two issues that I think merit a review, however. First was the half-dead cockroach outside my door through the last day of my stay. It was there when I left to give a presentation, there when I returned, and there when I checked out. No hotel this small, and with so many staff should have difficulty encountering and dealing with something like this. The genuine problem occurred after my stay. I suspected that I had left a folder with work papers behind at the hotel. When we called to check about this, we were told that documents left behind are clearly unimportant and would simply be thrown out. No offer was made to check whether anyone had encountered this folder, and though hotels.com did contact the hotel for me, this time they claimed they had searched and found nothing. Not somewhere I would recommend simply on the basis of do-the-absolute-minimum customer service.
