The hotel staff was very friendly and welcoming. However, the room was literally a reflection of what you pay for. It was extremely outdated, smelled terrible, the sheets were stained, and the room was very small. Unfortunately, the condition of the room made the experience disappointing. The staff was great, but the accommodations definitely need improvement.

Room was clean, bed was comfortable but needs an update. Needs to have better bedding because it was too cold. It was OK for what we needed.
The service great
The room clean and good air-conditioned. There was no breakfast they doing reparations in the kitchen but I have a great time. I would go again. Everything close just walk find restaurant casinos.very friendly.
Classic, elegant hotel with lots of history: very lovely, excellent location: good restaurants nearby and a gelato shop outside the building and the major city square: Plaza Las Delicias is across the street.
Friendly staff, great location and nice rooms, and lobby/environment. It was great to stay there to attend the Virgin Mary Guadalupe activities! They had hot chocolate and asopao very early !

The rooms were clean but very dated. Really needs and update. The staff was helpful , extremely friendly and made the stay enjoyable.
Rooms are dated. And I mean dated that half of stuff doesn’t work dated. Great location through.
Hotel bar was closed on Sunday and coffee bar was closed Monday morning. It’s an iconic and historic hotel. But I wouldn’t stay there again
Amazing location across from the parque de bombas! Gorgeous property, it was a pleasure to walk through the lobby. Clean room, easy parking. The drawbacks were 1) very loud air conditioner in the window that was disruptive to sleep and 2) the room had no soap or lotion or shampoo. I was glad I brought my own. I thought it was strange that a hotel of this caliber didn’t provide these basic items. Also, no ice was available and though there appeared to be a bar or coffee bar it was closed. The pool (and hammocks) looked really nice though I didn’t use it.
I would call this a boarding house. Good for 1 night . Its clean and we’ll kept. However the bathrooms are closets converted into a bathroom. Sitting on the toilet you will find your knees under the sink!! Additionally, most rooms overlook a courtyard which is noisy 24/7 .. so if you’re looking for quiet.. this place isn’t it. Parking on-site is first come first serve so not guaranteed!!

The staff super friendly and helpful. Hotel in great spot in front of the the town Plaza and in the middle of everything thats going around. Avoid rooms with Plaza view...you will not sleep if there are activities going on. From the music, car noise...to the blower and water hose street and Plaza cleaning between 4:30 and 6am... Parking is included. Room was not spotless and we never got hot water.

Hotel was very clean and charming. Location is great. It was a rainy day. There were leaks in the lobby area by the wheelchair ramp and also in the hallway to our room. There was a wedding at the hotel. We were assigned a room above the activity saloon and it was very very noisy. Staff were not helpful with this. We had little rest due to the loud music.
Tv channels selection was limited and there was no option to use streaming apps because the provided remote won’t support them. There ir no coffee maker, refrigerator much less microwave in the room. Bare essentials.

The staff was very friendly. However, I was surprised there was no coffee and they did not have a restaurant, a bar or a coffee machine in the hotel. Also, we could not get any good TV reception.
