It's a great hotel. Very clean. Huge rooms. A bit far from the hottest venues and from the good restaurants. BUT the whole site is just great and Xalapa's taxi system is impeccable and very very low cost. The pool is exceptional (fresh water, without chlore). A little negative : where I had my room there was lots of unwanted noise as early as 6:00 AM, such as the huge ice machines, maintenance, etc. But overall, I would return there without hesitation.
Dated... REALLY dated... the rooms are big, but feel very old; the bathroom felt small and cramped, the beds may have been nice in the 80's, but I expected better in a hotel nowadays. The air conditioner was noisy, there were barely any electrical outlets in the room. And the worst was the internet, I tested it multiple times and I could never get more than 0.2mbps so completely unusable for modern work. The staff didn't seem service oriented at all, to the point that when I left on the second day of a 7 night stay, they didn't even ask or question it.
Buen lugar para hospedarse, instalaciones antiguas, pero en buenas condiciones (renovarse es vivir) Alimentos buenos en servicio y sazón. Aire acondicionado muy ruidoso
Es increíble que un hotel tan emblemático este tan descuidado, no habia aire acondicionado en todo el hotel, no puede ser, si tuvieran la amabilidad de avisar antes de cobrarte estaria bien, la comida del desayuno, solo diré que comible, la alberca tenía una aspecto sucio ni ganas de meterse de hecho no vi a nadie nadando.
No vuelvo a ese hotel, lastima
No vayan
El hotel está viejo y descuidado. Indican que tienen aire acondicionado y no es asi, el personal no resuelve el tema, ofrecen ventiladores y ni eso dan. Las regaderas sale el agua para todos lados y tiene varios detalles que denotan el descuido y falta de mantenimiento del hotel.
El personal no es empatico e incluso grosero. Jamás volvería

El hotel en general es bueno y la habitación cómoda. Cerca del centro, lo cual es muy bueno. Tiene estacionamiento. El único aspecto incómodo fue que el baño se inunda. Por lo demás, me parece recomendable.

El personal es muy amable. El bufete de buen precio y rico. El cuarto está bien pero nos dieron una habitación cuya ventana daba directo al área de mantenimiento.
Antes de las 7 am empezaban ruidos de cubetas y gente hablando en la noche después de las 10:30 todavía se escuchaba ruido. La alberca no la pudimos disfrutar porque estaban limpiando alrededor con todas las mesas y silllas volteadas a las 10:30 de la mañana. Deberían hacerlo o más temprano o más tarde.
El segundo día que estuvimos no hubo agua caliente en todo el hotel!! Solo lo arreglaron después de la 1 pm. Una pena que esté tan mal mantenido el hotel porque está muy bien ubicado.

Personal amable, la habitación en condicines óptimas. Lo que no me agrado es que noa dieran una habitación muy alejada y en el segundo piso. Generalmente me han dado mas cerca del lobby y en el.primer piso
Las habitaciones y em personal estuvo bien. Pero la habitación que me dieron, se escuchaba mucho ruido por la noche (por fiestas que habían) y por la mañana otros ruidos(no se si de limpieza, de una bomba o un motor), por lo que no pude dormir bien.

La habitación es comoda, pero con mobiliario viejo, no hay suficientes enchufes de luz (solo uno en toda la habitación), colchón duro, sábanas y almohadas percudidas.
Te presentan plancha en lobby, pero no cuentan con burro de planchar.
