Alameda Centro Historico

I had an exceptional stay at Hotel Alameda. They confirmed my reservation on Whatsapp. At check-in they were very friendly and got me in my room one hour early. The room (280, internal. no windows, king bed) was nice and quiet with a big TV and a very comfy bed. The bathroom was normal size with a big shower with great water pressure. There is no fridge but you can have the front desk pit your items in their fridge. Housekeeping did a great job and was flexible in cleaning times. The front desk staff were always very helpful and friendly. They can also change dollars to pesos for you. The breakfast was good and goes until Noon. The breakfast servers were especially friendly and service was great. You can get refills and go back for seconds. Price about $13/person. Also, the doormen are very good and helpful. You can park your car in a parking garage about 100 meters away or have them park it for you. No cost for parking but I always tipped them when they brought the car. The location of this hotel is perfect. Right in the historic district near the main cathedral with great restaurants all around, although some are a bit pricey. Morelia centro is very nice with many old buildings and churches. In short, the hotel staff made my stay very enjoyable and if I will gladly return to this hotel on my next visit.

You can't beat the location of the hotel--it's just diagonally across the intersection from the Plaza de Armas, and an easy walk to all the sites in the UNESCO-listed colonial town. The room did feel a bit aged, but has been updated and was agreeable for our stay, and the price was fantastic. Service was average, but not outstanding from the front desk. They have a nice looking restaurant in an inner courtyard, although we did not eat there. Great value, and a great location.

First of all, I couldn't open the entry door to my room all the way because the bed was in the way. I had to sidle in sideways. The noise from outside on the street was very loud, but the hotel did offer earplugs, which were effective. The hotel is centrally located. The shower was small with a large rain head fixture, which made it impossible to avoid rinsing, even when you wanted to lather. There was only one elevator, and we had a large group which checked in at the same time. The room was clean and the bed was fairly comfortable. Overall, it was an ok hotel, but I'm glad I only stayed for 2 nights.
