We were supposed to stay in the Holiday Inn Zocalo, but however there was a major strike going on that day and we were unable to enter the Zocalo. Our cab driver recommended Hotel Regente and we were very pleased that he did. It is a nice hotel, a little older, but very nice and very clean. The staff was incredible! We asked to move rooms because they were painting next to ours and we were able to move right away to a different floor. They even put us in a bigger room. Then, we asked for more towels, and they were actually brought right away. We are a type of family that really appreciates this, especially when all of the other hotels in Mexico that we have stayed at refuse to bring our things at any reasonable time or even at all. The receptionists were great, bellboys were so helpful and nice. The restaurant was delicious. We ate there for lunch and we had their buffet breakfast. It is kind of a long walk from here to the Zocalo, but if you are in good shape, and a good sport, the walk will be a fun time since you pass many important monuments on the way. It is also very close to the Zona Rosa, another popular place in Mexico City. The rooms were very appropriately priced. I would recommend this hotel to anyone.
