Old stately building with some quirks
Pros:

Clean beds .. good location

Cons:

Location is good but also not good — right on the main highway and can be very noisy. But perfect spot to walk from, and we had a view of the river.

Hot water — mornings only.

Bathroom floor has tiles that make it impossible to dry. So it’s always wet.

Restaurant really good.

My friend and I waited too long to buy a bus ticket to Tlacotalpan from Veracruz. In desperation we hired a cab. The rec
Pros:

Very authentic colonial hotel. If you want an elegant and serene Casa Blanca experience you couldn’t do better. Tlacotalpan is languid, meditative town. If you are looking to get away from the beaten path, Posada Doña Lala will enhance your dreamy escape.

Cons:

If you’re bothered by traffic noises you should request a room on the Zocalo side of the hotel. On the parking lot side of the hotel occasional comings and goings can momentarily disrupt early bedtimes or sleeping in.

hotel needs significant updating, rooms are very outdated, 1 small nightstand
Pros:

location is in central of city, no transportation necessary as easy to walk to restaurants, shopping

Cons:

noise all night on New Years Eve, hotel is next to a central park, asked for quiet room on opposite side of hotel, was assigned one on ground floor next to park, air conditioner leaked entire time, placed trash bin under it to catch dripping, nightly cost is approximately $100 US. way overpriced for accomodations, believe cost is relative to location, creepy bad art/paintings throughout hotel.

Interesting colonial building, probably the best place to stay in Tlacotalpan.
Pros:

Beautiful old hotel. Helpful staff - wrote out the best route to Oaxaca for us. Parking in marked bays just in front of the hotel. Next to market in one direction and the very colourful colonial houses in the other. View of the river.

Cons:

Hotel restaurant closed early. Noisy food stalls by the river.
