Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Simple & old but clean & comfortable enough for the price. Good location. Nice view of the Cathedral. Staff were friendly although language was difficult.
I contracted Covid the afternoon I arrived after I tested. I notified the cleaning staff not to enter to protect her. I wasn't ill but I had tested positive. I would go out to pick up my food or eat at an outdoor restaurant. The manager told me I would have to leave! I would have to go to my families home (I'm on vacation. I have no family there) or she would call the police to remove me or an ambulance to take me to the hospital. I had already gone to the hospital to confirm my self test and was seen by a physician who told me I tested positive but had no medical issues. Two days later I went to another hospital and saw a Pulmonary specialist who requested a scan of my lungs and said the same thing. I am vaccinated. I contracted Covid, however, I was not sick. She then asked me to see my medical records so she could view them. I declined. This was the WORST experience in my travels I have ever experienced. I will NEVER visit the city again. I contacted the Secretaría de Salud who advised me that it was illegal for anyone to demand to view the medical records of someone. I stayed until my departure date and have not and will not return
Service was excellent. Clean and walking distance to Zocalo 2min. Starbucks and a Pharmacy with Dr office on the corner.
Tours by Toribus available at Zocalo. Catedral and many restaurants and shopping walking distance. Calle de Los dulces. Also a street full of Talavera items,
Los Sapos, Barrio del Artista
Most of all you will feel safe
Shower and sink took a long time to drain. Toilet clogged easily and spilled over. Maintenance came promptly and unclogged it, however refused to provide cleaning/disinfectant products as he said since there was no smell, it wasn't a problem. The provided shampoo did not lather.
The location is downtown which is great for tourism, however the cathedral bells ring multiple times an hour not stopping throughout the night. The bells would continuous wake us up and we could hear the neighbours also waking up as the walls were very thin.
Regular cleaning staff and front desk personnel were nice and friendly.
