We have been to Cartagena 6 times in the last 3 years. We found the hotel expensive compared to what we have stayed in before and i think it is geard towards corporate clients that gets a corporate discount. The view from our room was straight in to another building. Breakfast was average. We were there for one week, and the printer in the businesss center did not work the whole week, so we had to ask the receptionist to print. The swimming pool was nice. Staff was excellent.

I had an excellent experience during my recent stay at Holiday Inn Express in Manga. From the moment we arrived, the staff was warm, welcoming, and attentive to every detail. The check-in process was smooth, and I was pleasantly surprised by how clean, spacious, and comfortable my room was. The bed was incredibly cozy, and I appreciated the thoughtful touches like complimentary water, quality toiletries, and daily housekeeping. The hotel’s amenities were also top-notch. The breakfast buffet offered a wide variety of fresh, delicious options, and the on-site restaurant served really good meals. I also enjoyed spending time at the pool and fitness center, both of which were clean and well-maintained. The customer service was exceptional — every team member was friendly and eager to help, going above and beyond. I would absolutely recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing, hassle-free hotel close to El Centro. I look forward to staying here again on my next trip!

During our stay we were constantly complained on for noise violations (even though there were no noise issues) The 3rd shift front desk clerk was EXTREMELY rude to us. He called and asked if we could keep it down. While of the phone the neighbors banged on or wall and then banged on our front door. As women in a room alone this made us feel very unsafe. Mind you we weren’t even talking when they were banging on the wall and door. We expressed to the front desk our concerns he stated to us “if we want to talk we should go by the pool. Our room is only for sleep” this is truly the only time I have had someone that is hotel staff say this to me. We were eventually able to move rooms. Once we were moved room we never received a single complaint. It definitely feel our feelings were not valid by the hotel.
