Wyndham Garden Cartagena
Staff was fine. Love the pool but it needs to stay open until 9 or 10 pm instead of 7. Much quieter in my room with a nice balcony view. Free breakfast buffet. Very close to the airport. Not necessarily a walkable area bc of the heavy traffic around there. Would stay again.

Good: Comfortable bed and sheets. Bad: Musty or damp smell. It was very humid in the room despite the air conditioning working well.
