A good economical option near the north bus station
Pros:

We stayed there because it was fairly close to the north bus station and we were going to the ruins the next morning. The café was convenient for us as well.

Cons:

Not very beautiful hotel or surroundings, and the bed was too hard for my taste

Pros:

The location is convenient, the only drawback was the first night in a room on the street side. A big extremely noisy street. Second night in an inside room was great!

Cons:

As I mentioned, the noisy street. Another thing I thought strange was this: we needed a taxi to the bus depot because we are old and we had a very heavy suitcase. The desk informed me that it would be $200, standard price for them, I guess. Very expensive for 4 blocks, but we agreed. We got a grumpy Uber (I assume, since he never introduced himself) driver who charged us $250!
I will make sure we get a proper taxi next time. This was no fault of the hotel, but I thought I would mention this.

Agradable
Pros:

El personal sobre todo la chica y el chico de turno de la mañana un excelente servicio, muchas gracias por su apoyo en opciones de transporte, muy amables. Hicieron muy grata nuestra visita.

El hotel es limpio, agradable en excelente ubicación

Cons:

Me asusto que al pasar camiones o autos grandes el hotel literalmente tiembla, se mueve, quizá los empleados lo perciben como ligero movimiento pero cuando visitas un lugar donde ocurren sismos pues la primera impresión es nervios, miedo ante este movimiento que se puede observar como se mueve todo y pues en consecuencia se siente fuerte no me gustaría imaginar que tan fuerte se siente cuando en realidad pudiera ocurrir un sismo.

Muy buena relación precio calidad
Pros:

Excelente estancia, decidí hospedarme por la cercanía a los hospitales donde necesitaba estar por una semana por trabajo. El hotel tiene su propio restaurante y gimnasio, lo cual es muy bueno. La recámara en bastante amplia y la cama cómoda. Lo recomiendo ya que la relación precio-calidad es excelente.
