In all fairness, I can't compare this to other hotels in Monterrey, but it just was a bit too dated and depressing.
Pros: Staff was nice, attentive.
Very centrally located to the macro plaza and the church/Museum of Contemporary Arts where we attended a wedding.
Good rate through GetARoom of $70 night, but pictured more of a 3.5 or 4 star hotel. King bed comfortable. Large room.
Wifi was strong.
Cons: Hotel and room was dated and dark; quite depressing.
Water pressure was weak, water temperature completely unpredictable. Reminded me of dorm days. Air conditioning didn't seem to work but once they adjusted it, it was ok.
TV old. Overall, equivalent to a La Quinta or Best Western in the US...again not sure if this is just the style of all the hotels in this area of Monterrey, but would rate it a 2.5 or 3 star max, based on US standards. We only stayed 2 nights and were hardly in the room so didn't feel like we needed to complain or move.
