Hotéis em Fontibón, Bogotá

The hotel itself was quite nice - very American. The staff was quite friendly and helpful - almost earnest. Many staffers were bilingual. The room was also a nice size. I had two issues with the hotel. 1. On both Friday and Saturday the hotel seemed to host a wedding/party. Loud music blasted through the hotel til 2am, making it difficult to sleep. 2. The hotel charges for guests to come up to your room. I was told that I needed to pay approximately 50USD for a friend to come upstairs. This, they said, is their policy. If this is true, then this policy should be explained prior to check in - not prior to a friend's visit.

Close to airport. Comfortable room. Good breakfast for the room price. Gym looked nice. Best be prepared to take a taxi (US $7) to the hotel. The shuttle only runs once per hour, which is not much considering it is a 2 minute drive to the airport. Other nearby hotels go every 15 minutes or so. The website says the service goes until 1 AM, the lady on the phone at the hotel I spoke to says it runs 24 hours, in reality it ends around midnight. Once the back office closed, I was unable to call the reception due to a repeating glitch in the automatic answering service.

They had some "grab to go" breakfast options for travelers leaving early, which was very nice. Room was great! Check out was tedious. Tax was not pre-paid with original purchase, Took a long time to check mini bar purchases. Shuttle does not run frequently enough and ends at midnight. As a result of infrequent shuttles, there are mass groups checking in and out together ( not to mention long waits at the airport).

WiFi only worked in the small lobby with 3 chairs, even though the router signal appeared on my iPad on the 5th floor without connecting me to the net.
