Anyone have the website for the American Golf Hotel in Barranquilla?  Has anyone stayed there?  How would everyone rank the hotels for quality/price?

I visited this nice Hotel to meet with clients
of mine who were staying there. They
were paying about $45 USD, with breakfast.
I agree with all of the "positives" about this
Hotel mentioned earlier. They also have a
small (but nice) pool and a business center
with Internet access.

It's a pleasant change from the "usual suspects",
Hotels El Prado, Royal, B/Q Plaza, Puerta del Sol,
Country Norte, etc. As mentoned before, American
Golf is still relatively new, housed in a new building,
so they will work for your business.

The only downside I would say is the fact that
they are at least about 8 blocks from the
"center of the action" in downtown Barranquilla,
the El Prado section and surrounding areas.
But maybe not a bad thing, if you want a more
quiet location in a more residential-style district.

PS I will be visiting Colombia in a couple days
until end of June, first Barranquilla and then Cali.
Anyone in town is welcome to call and say hello.
Cell in Colombia 315-416-2746

Good luck, and happy travels!
