This hotel couldn't have a better location—on the Zócalo and close to a gaggle of museums, restaurants, and historic buildings. There's some flavor to the terrace restaurant, which has old-fashioned wrought-iron tables and an amazing view of the Catedral Metropolitana and Palacio Nacional. Pros: The location is phenomenal, price is affordable. Cons: The building may be historic, but the interior has the feel of a typical Holiday Inn; food so-so at best.

Based on a 2004 stay: This was a clean and perfectly comfortable, if not highly luxurious, place to stay. We had a jr. suite, which included a big jacuzzi, and featured a tall, skinny window that looked directly out on the Zocalo. The window perch made for fascinating people watching, from the comfort of our hotel room. While it's essentially a mid-level, plain-vanilla, modern hotel (inside a historic building), there were nice touches like Talavera items decorating the rooms and halls. Nice rooftop bar/restaurant as well. Hope to stay there again soon!
