This hotel was the highlight of my week of Mexico travels around different cities in a similar price range. The room was very clean, with neat, up to date amenities (within reason), and rather spacious. A little too spacious in that they could have included a small loveseat, or a larger table/chair to work on. Wifi and A/C were strong, bathroom was great, iron and ironing board + a good quality flat screen tv was a little bit of a bonus. Got a corner room with a small balcony. The fitness center, though decent, was probably too stuffy to handle - seeing that there was no AC. While the pool is a little walk away a few buildings down, it was decently kept, and was a great amenity to have for the hot days.
It was nice to venture outside of the walled city and see a little more of the real neighborhoods (and not the picturesque parts). While it was quieter than the touristy areas, I found it quaint and authentic with the food/snack carts rolling down the street shouting their goods, and plenty of families leaving their doors open, and maintaining the neighborhood feel. La Mega (the equivalent of Super Walmart) is nearby, so it was a very practical location. A few reviews noted this area as "sketchier", which I think is only the case because it lacked any tourists or the picture perfect appeal of the walled city, but seeing a local crossfit studio(?!) several buildings down told you what kind of locals were probably inhabiting the area.
