I booked Hotel OR through Expedia during a trip to Colombia. Unfortunately, the experience was extremely disappointing. Due to a medical emergency caused by an attempted robbery in Medellín that resulted in a serious knee injury, I was forced to change my travel dates. I contacted Expedia immediately and asked only to move my stay to match my new flights, not for a refund. Despite this, the hotel refused any flexibility and charged me for a four-day stay I physically could not attend. In good faith, I rebooked the hotel for my new dates and ended up paying twice. When I arrived and attempted to resolve this in person, management was cold, dismissive, and denied any communication from Expedia. The room conditions were unacceptable. The first room shown was dirty and clearly not what I paid for. The second room did not match the advertised photos. There was visible mold on walls and under the air conditioner, bugs in the room, no hot water, a broken TV, a non-functioning safe, and no refrigerator despite being listed. Bedding consisted of only a sheet and small throw. Amenities were also misleading. The advertised “full breakfast” does not exist; there is no buffet and basic items cost extra. The rooftop breakfast area appeared unhygienic. The pool was cloudy, dirty, and unusable, and there is no hot tub despite listings suggesting otherwise. This property is poorly maintained, misleadingly advertised, and managed with little regard for guests. I would not recommend it.
How the room is advertised vs what I got.
How breakfast was advertised vs reality. They put things together in the gross room
The pool as advertised vs reality. Unusable

It is in the area of the city you want to be in near the waterfront (but not right on the beach). The price is good. The rooms are ok, but nothing spectacular, but i don't need spectacular in a room. I just need to "sleep"

The staff were all super friendly and nice! I could leave my room key with them as I went out each day, my room was large and very clean. The pool was smaller than the pictures indicated but there were chairs around it to relax. Lots of restaurants within walking distance and most tours would pick up from it as well.

A hotel itself is pretty basic the breakfast very basic. The staff on the other hand were very accommodating very nice. They upgraded my room because the first room they put me in was very small and smelled terribly. I could recommend this hotel if you’re just looking for basic accommodation and not luxury it is a good value and it’s conveniently located next to everything.

This place isn’t for tourists !!! As i came in. Big sign on elevator not working. I changed room due to bad smell. In the other room air conditioning wasn’t working so at 2am i was offered a room at the 4th floor no elevator. Now good luck moving your staff. Next day i asked a free night they refused and willing to give only half price on another night. Thanks to orbitz that saved me from that place. No hot water !!! What ?? They said in few days they’ll fix that…. Yea right like the elevator. Poor bedding. Internet disconnect all the time. Breakfast is a joke. Horrible. You wait 20 min until they talk to you. Antz all over tables. Not safe. At night only 1 worker at reception that can get easily to your room. The woman asked me not to write bad review but im sorry. I have to warn other ppl not to trap into this place. STAY AWAY as you can. Cheers.

Nice street view from balcony (but I think only two apartments with balcony so maybe I got lucky). Breakfast is purposely cooked for you and good quality, so not unlimited buffet. Central, lots to do nearby, near restaurants, transport, beach, gym, shops. Cooler and fridge in room was surprisingly good. Secure building because no visitors allowed and reception very small. Very noisy area nearly all night/morning, no blackout blinds, no “do not disturb/clean” tag for door, none of the staff speak basic level of English. Overall, you get what you pay for (so don’t compare to Hilton or Caribe down the road) and if you don’t mind the night noise and speak a little Spanish then a good choice for travelling on a budget and I would return but most probably bring something to temporarily blackout windows.
