Si tienes que pasar por Tuxtepec, este Hotel es la opción, el costo por habitación doble, es barato. La habitación estaba muy limpia, y me encantó que tuviera aire acondicionado que funcionaba a la perfección. Algo que me gustó, y que no me indicaron cuándo reserve la habitación, es que incluya un desayuno, que puedas consumir entre las siete de la mañana y las 10 de la mañana. Te dan una secadora, y hay shampoo y jabón disponible para bañarte. También hay una cafetera en la habitación, que no utilice, pero es un lindo detalle. Tienen alberca, por si quieres hacer uso de ella. Las cosas que no me gustaron, el control de la televisión, no funcionaba bien, tenías que apretar muy fuerte el botón para cambiar de canal, o ponerte casi enfrente de la tele, para que funcionara bien. Tampoco me gustó que la tarjeta que te dan de llave, se tarda en reaccionar para abrir la puerta y no funcionó al meterla en el tarjetero que hace que se encienda las luces. Esto último se pudo resolver con la ayuda de la recepcionista, así que no hubo mayor problema, sólo que les recomiendo que reparen ese dispositivo.

loved the suite with Jacuzzi, and u can't beat the price. in the states a room like this would cost you well over $100. staff was nice, the free breakfast was a bit awkward because other guests were dressed business formal and we came in dressed very casual. Breakfast was great though, the buffet had a good selection of cooked foods and ready things like yogurt fruit etc. Loved the bathroom in our room, it's fancy :)

My friends have been there for multiple times, I was with them this year. They return each time because it is a nice place, super clean, free breakfast, a cafe which opens until late with good coffee, sandwiches, etc. The employees are great, Manuel and the guys and girl at the cafe, Mrs Juanita at the rooms; Mrs Aurelia The Ama de Llaves will help you with everything you need, the ladies at the counter, everyone is awesome. I really recommend the place. There is also a good restaurant beside and a gas station shop at one block. You can take the bus to go to Sam's Club or the taxi to go to downtown for a little amount.
