They charged me for 3 towels for the fact that I stained the towels with washable hair dye. Treated me like some sort of criminal when I tried to leave. Front desk service was really unpleasant.

Absolutely Horrible! Stay away!
The most expensive hotel I stayed in while in Cartagena and by far the worst hotel experience I’ve had in my life! Shabby buildings and rooms. Totally disorganized check in. Took about 1 hour. Incredibly rude and unhelpful staff. Room was the worst. Crayon markings on furniture, no working air conditioning (80 degrees F in the room),no working wifi or television. No running hot water! Nothing came out of the faucet. Told front desk about the issues and they said they would send someone, but never did. Staff literally detained us upon checking out and would not let us leave hotel for some unknown reason that no one on staff could explain to us. Security staff literally grabbed our bags and would not let us leave although we had already checked out and were waiting for an Uber to the airport. Isn’t this illegal?! After over 20 minutes, some lobby guy (manager? I hope not) said it was a mixup and we could leave. Management and many hotel staff should be fired! The absolute worst hotel experience I have ever had and I travel a lot! Horrible! Stay away!
