Bogotá Marriott Hotel

My first time staying in a Marriot outside of the US. I loved how perfect everything was inside the hotel. I loved how helpful the staff was. Pretty much everyone I interacted with there spoke fluent English. One hotel staffperson (Robert?) saved me from a vicious taxi driver who tried to overcharge me for my ride from the airport. The location of the hotel was about 10 minutes from the airport. Breakfast buffet was amazing. The immediate local area had many restaurants, some small shops, and many banks with ATMs for getting American dollars. There was a mall nearby, a nice park with outdoor workout equipment also was close by. Ubers came in about 5 minutes.

We were there for a couple of nights as we organized getting COVID-tested for our flights home. (That went quick, we didn't really need the extra time we allotted.) In the age of COVID, I was amazed at the quality and extent of the breakfast. I felt very safe with all of the appropriate precautions being taken to safeguard the guests and the food. After being at some hotels in the US where they can't even offer a cup of coffee, this was truly a great experience. The staff were very helpful and I appreciated (and I'm sure they did) that they didn't have to listen to my terrible Spanish. (I tried, but...) The hotel listings advertise an airport shuttle, and there wasn't actually one, we took a taxi to the hotel. ($20 for two couples jammed into one vehicle.) There was however an option to get a ride *back* to the airport with a service that the hotel could call, very reasonable ($8-9/CP 30000) that was chargeable to the room. The hotel is adjacent to a couple of other hotels so while we liked the hotel restaurant just fine and went several times, there were other options in the immediate area as well. On our free morning also we walked to the nearby botanic garden (about a half hour) - very nice. All in all a nice stay. I would stay there again.

Great Hotel with great structure and beautiful rooms.

Extremely clean and the staff are absolutely fantastic.

This is a lovely hotel, very close to the airport. It is a bit expensive for my budget, but it is totally worth it for not missing a flight because it is so close to the airport and there is a shuttle service. The breakfast is amazing, soo delicious. The staff are efficient and friendly.
