All good except no fridge in room, no paper nor pen to write. No English tv channels for American guests but all of them were in Spanish. Door lock did not function well so we had to change to other room. I was not able to be assigned to rooms in higher floors so I got to stay in a room on first floor without any view not front nor back view. Not much happy staying in this hotel. Only I am happy with coffee and breakfast served. Thanks anyway!

I really enjoyed my stay- everything was great overall! The room was clean and comfortable, the service was good, and the location was very convenient. My only small suggestions would be to provide a little more toilet paper (at least one roll per guest) and maybe an extra bath towel. Other than that, everything was wonderful. I’d definitely stay again!

Excellent stopover

This was a short stopover to catch an early morning flight out of Mexico City. This Holiday Inn had a great room, and it was quiet! I did not have time for a full breakfast but was seriously surprised by the variety of food put out by their staff for guests' breakfast.
