Fodor's Expert Review Hotel Catedral

This refurbished older hotel on a busy street in the heart of downtown is a bargain, with many of the amenities of the more upscale hotels at less than half the price. Public areas sparkle with marble and glass. Guest rooms are spacious and clean, done up in neutral tones with pops of red-orange. You can get a room with a view of the namesake Catedral. If your room doesn't have a view, the small terrace is a great place to watch the sun set over the Zócalo.
