Hotel Aldama

Staff is really nice and try to accommodate your needs. Good value for the money. Only a few blocks of walking to el centro and there is a tienda about 2 blocks away that sells drinks and snacks. Safe neighborhood and easy to navigate. Clean, safe and friendly area. Regarding the room size and windows. I didn't think that the rooms were that small. I have stayed in smaller places that made me feel kind of closed in. The windows do open up to the patio. You just need to open up the panel closest to the door first, there is a metal latch at top and bottom of wood shutter than will open and then expose the other interior latches to open other part of window. Fairly decent selection of tv channels (was feeling ill for a couple of days so this mattered to me).

The noise level is sometimes an issue with adjoining rooms. Water pipe noises from the room next door were pretty loud, didn't know what was going on at first, very strange sound, but luckily next door person had reasonable hours. The noise level is typical of open aired,courtyard style places. But I have heard much worse. When the hotel is full, it could probably be more of an issue. The Red Cross is across the street and they don't use their sirens until a few blocks away, but their backup beepers are a little annoying. The church on the corner rings their bells at 6 am. It could be annoying for light sleepers. Always have your earplugs ready in Mexico! I stayed for 4 days and the first night took awhile to get used to, but after that is was fine.

Good value for money and very pleasent staff

Surely not worth the 4 stars, it s a 3 stars at the very best Lots of light coming through the room during the day as part of the main door is in glass, also kind of noisy as it s in front of a chruch and a ambulance parking
