Hotel in Popayan?

Anyone know a decent, reasonably priced hotel in Popayan this week? I realize it is quite a popular destination, so the answer may be none, but figured I would ask.

Thanks,

Dan

Forget It. Dan, this is the most popular religious destination for Septima Semana (Easter) in Colombia. Wife's sisters from Cali are there for this week and said the city is jammed and everything is full.

popayan If you can afford it, stay at the "Hotel Monasterio".
I consider it one nice experience because it was a Monestery, Built
in 1563. Quite Beautiful, Good Food. And more importantly,
the religeous procession passes right by it, so you can sit on the terrace and watch the whole thing.

Very Nice. Part of the Dann Chain This is the hotel where Mrs. Gator and I stay when we visit. Very convenient location "down town." Build a longgggg time ago like the 1570's. Great restaurant that opens onto a fantastic open court yard. As close as I remember we paid 50/60 USD and that included a full breakfast. It was remodeled about ten years ago.
