Very quiet, 400 meters from cathedral, on Juarez ave, internet computer in lobby, 65$ per night

Food service was slow even by Mexican standards. They were out of my first 2 choices on the menu during mid-day. Hot foods were cold or only slightly warm. We tried lunch once and then breakfast twice. Never again. The one small elevator was frustrating to wait for; stairs were not an option for us. We stayed 2 nights. When the room was made up, there was no hand towel or bottle of water left by housekeeping. I went to the desk twice and waited 2 hours for the bottle of water.

The ctiy of Zacatecas was very beautiful. This hotel was the worst part of my stay. We had to stay the full 9 days because they were having a huge festival and all of the other hotels were booked. Four days out of the 9 it rained and our ceiling would leak. We informed the staff and nothing was ever done. Then, we had to each night for some reason go to the front desk to have our key card reset to enter our room. Then, to top it off, I had hid 80 US Dollars in one of my drawers and when I returned it was missing. When I reported the incident to the manager he informed me that there will be an investigation. Which at this time I thought I had some hope in getting my money back. After a (THOROUGH?) investigation and me having to continously hunt down the manger, they would only give me $40 back. Even then, they just took it out of my bill.

Zacatecas was great. El Meson was terrible. The staff is sloppy in their customer care. (They forgot the toilet paper one day, and towels the next!) Desinterested and unacommodating. The room we stayed in was somewhat in disrepair. To top it all we were staying in the top floor (5 flights) and the only elevator was out of service for all but one of our 4 days stay. For the price I have done much better in Mexico, US and Europe.
