City Express By Marriott Puebla Centro

“Perfect!”

Staff is on point and friendly! Room was super clean. Had no problems checking in. Breakfast hours were convenient and it was a decent meal. Better than expected for cheaper hotel breakfasts. I don’t speak Spanish and had no problems at all. Good area!

“Red bus turístico (2 floors-open top)”

“Predictability is Its Main Asset”

We typically enjoy staying at this chain here in Mexico because the rooms are clean but small, breakfasts are buffet and comprehensive, and it's close to the heart of downtown. But this one was a little too far from the zócalo and Los Sapos, the latter being where we always go when in Puebla. Wal... lisää

But this one was a little too far from the zócalo and Los Sapos, the latter being where we always go when in Puebla. Walking time depends on what you read, and I suppose one's age and level of fitness. If we return to City Express next visit, we will take taxis everywhere to and from the hotel. The pricepoint is right on, so taxis are affordable.

“More of a motel for one or two day stay max”

We spent four nights at this hotel, which as the title indicates is more of a motel.

We spent four nights at this hotel, which as the title indicates is more of a motel. We liked the location from the website indications, and chose the “superior room” because it boasted a coffee maker, microwave and minibar. Our views on all are mixed. The rooms are quite spartan but in a modern way (see pictures). There are no drawers so if you don’t want to be looking at your underwear the entire time then this is not the hotel for you. The bed was not quite a queen yet not quite a double, and it was very uncomfortable. The air conditioning is loud and the internet was scarce to none in the room. There was a very unpleasant smell coming from the bathroom which we finally figured was from the shower drain so we resolved it by covering up the drain at night with a rubber shoe. The shower itself was good The breakfast, included in the price, was exactly the same every morning and in a very closed-in, cold space. This is fine for one or two mornings, but by the third day you didn’t want to see watermelon and cantaloupe again. Quite unappealing. I can see how this hotel concept could be excellent for those on business who just need a place to iron their morning shirt and are off to work, but definitely not recommended for visitors.
