“The Hotel is very dated with some charm”

First of all, I have stayed at quite a few hotels during my travels. This was a unique experience as I was told that this hotel was the oldest in the city which I found intriguing at first.

First of all, I have stayed at quite a few hotels during my travels. This was a unique experience as I was told that this hotel was the oldest in the city which I found intriguing at first. First of all, I loved the lobby, is has this traditional feel to it which was great. The elevator is manually operated which I found very pleasing as it was a first for me. The staff were extremely helpful and accommodating, without a doubt top-notch service with a personal feel to it I can't say enough about how great they were. The artwork in the hotel has a warm feeling to it which I enjoyed. I didn't try the restaurant but it was always very busy and they has a small band playing instrumental music that was easy to relax to. Once I got to my room is when that charm began to wear off. the room was big with plenty of closet room. The bed was somewhat stiff but still comfortable. The carpet was dated with a couple of bearly noticeable stains. The outlets were two-prong which could be a problem for some laptops. To me, attention to detail is the key for a nice room. The bathroom was extremely small and the shower door had a small crack. The showerhead, on the other hand, had quite a bit of build-up, and the was a piece of the counter was missing. Now I was told that some parts of the hotel were being renovated but for the rooms that are being given to guests things like these should be looked at. As a solo traveler, I really don't mind but for couples and families, I'm not so sure. The wifi in my room was a little weak but usable, but I have internet service in Mexico and my provider had service at the hotel so I logged in with my account details and I was online. I don't really know if someone without Mexican internet would be able to connect.

“The building is old but has an art deco charm to it...not suited for the hi tech minded .”

My wife and my self stayed only one night so our stay was not long. I can only say the building was old and needed maintenance but had an old charm to it. The carpets and bathrooms needed refurbishing but overall the guest room we had was clean and comfortable and we slept soundly. Do not stay here… more

The carpets and bathrooms needed refurbishing but overall the guest room we had was clean and comfortable and we slept soundly. Do not stay here if you want Hi-tech and modern the place is old and even a little rundown.The restaurant is delicious and the staff very friendly. We had a delicious breakfast to start our day.

“Basic Hotel in Downtown Leon”

I was visiting friends in Leon Mexico this past weekend and needed to a relatively inexpensive spot to stay. I booked the Junior Suite because it was a pretty decent price, but it didnt have the look and feel of the sort of "Junior Suites" I was used to seeing here in the states. It is an older bui… more

I was visiting friends in Leon Mexico this past weekend and needed to a relatively inexpensive spot to stay. I booked the Junior Suite because it was a pretty decent price, but it didnt have the look and feel of the sort of "Junior Suites" I was used to seeing here in the states. It is an older building, but didnt have a run down feeling to it. The staff was pretty accommodating with holding our luggage and letting me check in a bit earlier than the 3pm check in time. The room overlooked one of the streets on Downtown Leon, but wasnt took loud at night which was a plus. My only real complaint about this hotel was that the bed was fairly hard and was a little hard to sleep on. We were able to get extra pillows to make it a bit more comfortable though. There is a restaurant and bar there as well. I wasn't able to try the food there, but the hotel is connected to a large plaza in downtown that is filled with many food and drink options.
