Historical hotel
I have stayed at this hotel countless times. It’s minutes to the center of the historic plaza on foot. Definitely in the heart of the city. It’s urban and surrounded by great cheap restaurants and shopping. If you’re looking for culture and hustle bustle this historical hotel is awesome. You’ll enjoy the architectural archway, the antique art. The rooms are not fancy, but they’re really fun.

Loved this place and I'll be looking forward to staying again in the future.
My room was wonderful: Spacious, clean, well-appointed.
The staff was gracious and helpful.
I especially enjoyed the parakeets caged in the common area: Waking to them chirping was like being in the country, instead of the center of one of the largest cities in Mexico.
