Pereira?

Anyone know of anything for the month of June in Pereira? Small and cheap but safe (of course!) And, no, I do not want to share a room or house with anyone. Thanks...

I'll tell you.. I'm meeting a girl with whom I've been chatting for about 2 years. We have a good rapport and she invited me to see her. And, sorry to break the stereotype, NO, we're not going to get married. She is divorced and has 2 kids. She is going to show me around and take me to some nice places that we'll enjoy. Hell, we'll probably even get her daughter to stay with us a few days and we'll all go have fun. Now, if that upsets you, well, I'm sorry. I'm coming with or without your approval.

Why the 'safe' shit? that leaves out alot of potential adventure!
And, I am questioning the 'small'.
Cheap? Did you mean: INEXPENSIVE???

Captain.. if your GF if fr Peira.. just asked her to give you three location.. there are LOTS of hotel near the center.. parque de boliver in pereria.. i think the one i stayed at was pretty cheap, 40,000 peso/night.. two years ago.. but it wasnt the best..

you can also buy a lonely planet colombia and they will give you a few options. but best is to simply have your gf check for you. btw, it's not that difficult to ARRIVE there then go around to check.

caslug has it right... if you have a local GF, what are you asking people in the internet for recommendations for? Just have her check a few out for you and then check 'em out in person before you choose.

Always open to suggestons.. Acutally, she has found a cheap (or inexpensive) place but I'm always on the lookout for more or better bargains. If someone has actually stayed in an "inexpensive" motel and would reccommend it, I'd tell her and let her check it out. Gotta keep that open mind, ya know...
Yeah, 2 years we've been talking and webcamming. I went to Mexico last summer with my friends so I couldn't go to Colombia. I had to wait until this summer. I'm really stoked about the trip.
