Frommer's Recommended

On a quiet street next to the Degollado Theater and Plaza Tapatía, 2 blocks from the cathedral, the Mendoza has perhaps the best location of any downtown hotel. The decor would best be described as a stab at old Spanish, with wood paneling and old-world accents. Standard rooms are midsize. Bed choices are one queen, two full, or two queens. Bathrooms are midsize, with so-so lighting. Suites have an additional sitting area and larger bathrooms with the recent addition of Jacuzzi tubs. Rooms face the street, an interior courtyard, or the pool. Note: The bath towels are the narrowest I've ever seen -- obviously the brainchild of a demented cost-cutting expert. If the hotel hasn't changed these, ask for a couple extra after you check in.
