This place is setup in what must have been a private home a hundred years or so ago. It has a central garden with a fountain, around which rooms are located. Rooms are the most unique I can remember, loft style, with narrow ceramic stairs, beautiful tiled bathrooms, and period wooden doors. The breakfast buffet is basic, but enough--you really don't want to fill up on hotel food in such a lovely town. Grab a coffee, fruit or pastry, then head out to find a nice spot to eat :) The staff is super friendly, parking is available in a private lot across the street, and the downtown is within walking distance. The WiFi is strong, the A/C + Heater unit does its job (winter nights can get really chilly in Veracruz). Do you have other options? Perhaps, but this one is unique :)

It is a 60’s/70’s art decor hotel which would’ve been great during its time, however it is now tired and worn and the decor is still from that time. We had a terraced room overlooking the pool on the bottom floor and it was filthy. Lady tried to tell me it was the wind. The inside and outside of the fridge was dirty, I wiped the inside with a tissue and it came back black. I asked the receptionist to clean the room again and they just came along and wiped it with a dry cloth. I took the trays out of the fridge and washed them in the sink. The dresser top I wiped down, tissue was brown with dirt. The duvet covers were stained. Mould on the curtains. The plastic coffee maker had solid dirt on the button which I wiped. The safe didn’t work (had no batteries), I touched the tiles in the bathroom and it was dusty. Room smelled musty. Air con packed up when we were there aswell. External areas didn’t look like it had been swept in months. Pool was murky and dirty, this is a health hazard. The area around the pool wasn’t very pleasant. Am not sure how this hotel has got good ratings in the past. It has the potential to be good if more care and attention was taken with cleaning and make sure things in the room worked.
