Hotel Morales Historical & Colonial Downtown Core

10/10 Excellent

"Love hotel Morales! It’s the second time I stay here and everything was great. I found my bed a bit too hard for my liking but I told the staff and they took charge changing the mattress. Everything is well kept, decore is beautiful and I love that they are located walking distance from all the main attraction ie: Mercado San Juan, Mercado Corona, Teatro Degollado and all the centric monuments. They offer tours and they pick you up right at the hotel entrance. I look forward to coming back soon!"
