Okay, so the rooms in this 10-story downtown hotel aren't anything special, but they do have good, individually controlled A/C and strong showers, a rarity for budget hotels. The location is downtown near the market. It's central, but it's a bit decayed. For entertainment, there's a fancy new multiplex cinema across the street that shows first-run Hollywood movies. Guest rooms are midsize and come with either two doubles or a king-size bed. Those on the mezzanine level are larger and often cost the same. Ask for a room facing away from the busy Calzada Independencia. Midsize bathrooms are clean, with good water pressure and plenty of hot water.
