Hotel El Prado
El hotel es hermoso, pero si creo que las habitaciones necesitan actualización, ya que se ven muy viejas.

Hotel Barranquilla Plaza
Everything was great about this hotel. Only thing I will say and is not a negative but the elevator was all the way in the back to pull up to our room. And the food in the restaurant was not that great. I ordered the New York steak and I got something else.
