Need a Cali Hotel recommendation

[Bala]

I leave for Barranquilla and Cali tomorrow morning, June 08, out for almost 3 weeks.

In Cali, I have stayed at most of the popular choices, Inter., Dann, Windsor Plaza, Pension Stein, etc.

This time I will try Calipro's recommendation and try the Suites Travelers, which took over the small Rayda Apartment building directly across the street from the Inter., which has gotten quite pricey.

You might also try an Aparta-Hotel called "Cora Aparta-Suites", Av. 9 Norte, #17N-31, Edif. Nueva Granada, Tel: 667-6021, 667-0567. One and half blocks from all the action on Av. Sexta, close to Chichapi etc. Clean rooms, full-size kitchen, AC. Nice place. About $40 a day, discounts with stays of 15 days or longer.

If I don't like Travelers, I will switch to Cora.

Buen viaje.

PS I will attend the romance tours of both TLC and I Love Latins in B/Q, and also TLC in Cali, and also I will visit ACG (Ricardo) in Cali and, time permitting, visit his tour also.

I'm sure Ray will encourage a trip report from me, so I will try and oblige.

http://www.calihotel.com/ the hotel name is HOSTAL SAN FERNANDO and from what they say it's owned by americans; Just hope it'S not a bed-latina hotel ...

I'm contacting you because I saw your website online and was really interested for what you offer.
I wanted to know what is included in the price of an apartment; I mean by that if the breakfast or dinner or anything else is included or only the apartment.
It will be my first time in colombia so that'swhy I'm asking that .
At the same time just wanted to know if guests are allowed in the rooms or apartments because I will go to be with my girlfriend and wanted to know if there will be an extra cost for her to stay with me.
I appreciate your time and answer and hope to hear from you soon.

From what I see , nobody has something to say on that hotel...I do have an update though!! I spoke with one lady from cali that I'm chating with and she told me that the pictures on the website are not what it is exactly!!!
Apparently she said it's not that nice !!!!
Any insight from the board??
