The staff and service is very nice considering the language barrier. Chose the place as a halfway station while traveling to Medellin from Bogota. The pool is a relaxing little bonus. The nearby town has a lively little community to get in touch with local culture. The room is basic but fine, would score better if there was a showerhead installed

En mi caso particular, que voy a trabajar, es apropiado porque luego de 9 pm aprox todo queda en silencio, logras descansar. Habitaciones sin lujos pero cómodas y con un buen aire acondicionado y tv (aunque no lo uso). Tienen restaurante, te soluciona la vida. Precios cómodos y el servicio de la señora Zoraida es lo mejor, es muy amable. No use la piscina, no era mi plan.
