I spent 9 hours in this hotel, in and out as swiftly as I could. Reaching at about 11pm, after another 6 hours car ride from Aguascalientes, I was famished. But the chicken wings I ordered was not fully cooked. They were still bloody. But again, I was too tired to make a fuss, and ate just the cooked portion. The staff apologised, but that's beside the point.

Anyway, I'll let the pictures do the talking. This hotel is situated in a shopping mall. It was new I was told. But the elevator was not visible and it was not convenient to lug suitcases on travellator up a few floors. What's more dampening was, when I reached, the shops were already closed.. and they were still closed when I left the next morning.

Somehow I feel the hotel is good enough for a night, short stay.

It was a very short stay, thus I do not have too much to talk about this hotel. I went and left in 11 hours.

If you choose to stay in this hotel, however, be prepared to spend a LOOOONG time checking-in and out. I arrived quite late in the day, nearly 9pm, after a 6 hours ride from Mexico City Airport. Thus, I was quite irritated when the check-in took forever. Learnt from the checking-in lesson, I decided to check-out slightly earlier before I went for my breakfast, true enough, they took forever again.

The good thing about staying here, as an Asian, is you see many Asians around. You don't talk to each other, but it was impossible to ignore one's presence.

Also, the staffs in the restaurants were very friendly and helpful, plus point.

From afar - finally, after 6 hours drive
