“The hotel was clean and the staff were especially helpful. The location was excellent, right by many important places like the Alameda, the Palacio de Bellas Artes, and close to downtown, museums, and the park. The food was good, and there's La Trainera nearby. We really enjoyed our stay, though a few staff members were a bit rude.”
