The hotel for what I needed was perfect . My whole reason was to visit La Basilica de Guadalupe and it was a short taxi drive away. The area is not great and the hotel is a little run down but I still thought it was perfect for me.

Staff was courteous, the room was clean and like pictured. Wish the towels were better, as they were too thin, some had holes or rips on them. And we were only provided body towels.

The lobby receptionist was very accommodating. He checked us in right away. The hotel is very closed to the bus terminal. It only took us about 10 minutes to get there…very convenient as we stayed only for a night before we took the bus to Guanajuato early in the morning. The room was clean but smelled moldy. Our room was facing a major street so it was very noisy as trucks were constantly passing by. Overall it is ok for very short stays; otherwise this might not be the hotel you might be looking for.

Muy buen lugar. Mucho espacio en el cuarto y bano. Tiene todo lo que necesita. Ventilador en la pared, escritorio con silla y dos sillones. Me encantó el restaurante en el vestibulo. Comí el desayuno y fue rico. Hay un pequeño gimnasio también donde usé la caminadora. Le recomiendo el lugar. Un precio muy economico.

The hotel does not have air conditioning. It was hot and when we asked for at least a fan we were told to wait until one became available. The room next to us became vacant and it had a fan in it. We informed the front desk as the weather was hot that day and we were told to wait until house keeping took it downstairs. The fan was never taken to our room. We had to sleep with the windows open and it was hard to sleep as you can hear all the traffic from outside pass by very loudly. Overall it was not a good experience.

Welcome respite after a long, warm day.

Everything looked very clean. Showers need upgrading (rusting showerhead), door leaks quite a lot of water into the bathroom, but the bathroom has a bidet. No place for soap or a towel by the bidet, which is the norm.

It was an average experience for us for visiting the 1st time in Mexico City. We were there for the festival of Mary of Guadalupe and Hotel Escala central de Norte was very close to the basilica. The hotel staffs were friendly. The hotel is older and there were no closet or dresser for our clothes. Overall it was an average experience for us to come sleep and rest for the trip.

This area of the city was recommended to us as we wanted to visit the pyramids of Teotihuacan, Chapultepec and not be too far from the airport.
Our room here was pretty big, clean and in good condition. We ate at the restaurant downstairs once and the food was ok. There are some little shops and kitchens within a block if you are hungry or need any toiletries etc. We were happy with our stay here and would pick this hotel again.

Not worth the price

I’m a little upset about this place. 1 there’s no air conditioning, 2 the wifi constantly cuts out. My neighbors were extremely loud in the hallways and were smoking in their rooms. Only one outlet worked, and there’s no Netflix or modern television. This place is nice but the owners need to do some serious renovations.

Never Again!!

I have stayed at Motels paid by the hour better than this. To begin I had to wait for a room even after getting 30 mins after my check in time, then I had to go ask 30 minutes later if the room was ready. Towels are sand paper, shower door leak water into sink and bathroom area. Bathroom “vanity” is more like a shame sink. NO AC! It gets HOT!!.. 2 star Hotel maybe!

I like the fact that I will NEVER reserve with them again.
I dislike the employees lask of attendance
-they did NOT respect my reservation (even though i paid in advance)
-they did not help me find another accommodation
-Tania sat giggling with the guy that works in the \"passing 4 hour motel\"
-Tania stood on her phone the whole time and did the bare minimum
-Tania was lazy
-they made excuses as to why they did not respect my reservation but i have ALL the emails and conversation codes and Tania even admitted she could see the messages of when I asked for a higher floor.
-first it was \"well we dont have rooms\" then it was \"well we dont have your reservation\", THEN it was an offer to pay additional money so I could [sleep] in the [adult themed motel] in the back.

Do NOT stay here. Expedia should take this \"business\" off of their site.
/// espanol:
Me gusta que :) NUNCA volveré a reservar con ellos.

No me gusta la falta de asistencia de los empleados y su pereza.
-no respetaron mi reserva (aunque pagué por adelantado)
-no me ayudaron a encontrar otro alojamiento
-Tania se sentó a reír con el tipo que trabaja en el \"motel que pasa 4 horas\"
-Recepcionista Tania se paró en su teléfono todo el tiempo e hizo lo mínimo.
-daron excusas de por qué no respetaron mi reserva, pero tengo TODOS los correos y códigos de conversación y Tania incluso admitió que podía ver los mensajes de cuando pedí un piso más alto.
-Primero fue \"bueno, no tenemos habitaciones\", luego fue \"buen

The staff is nice, I have to say it, however, my room had no AC, so I had to open the windows and hear the noise, small or loud from other people, around the night, what made my sleep poor and bad. The bed, certainly a pleasant big king size was sadly very hard and ultimately unpleasant for me. The bidet, something I consider important for a hotel visit. was not working either, so, very disappointing interior place that on its exterior appearance looks nice and inviting.

The hotel shakes every time a large vehicle drives by, it feels like an earthquake. Literally it rocks the building, not kidding!

The cleanliness is not there, they don't change the towels daily.

The beds are hard.

The location is said to be 4 minutes from the basilica. It is a 15 to 20 minute uber ride depending on traffic.

This place had a big sign outside that it has been close to the public, front door was closed. When we got there we didn’t even want to go in because it was kind of creepy. There was a creepy man outside and told us to go thru the back door passing the parking lot. At the reception was a lady very unfriendly, place was kind of dark, she asked us if we had a reservation, we said yes, but we were already nervous about the place. My husband ask her why the place was closed to the public she said that she wouldn’t give us that information and it was out choice to stay or not but they were not going to give us our refund ( we already paid thru Expedia). This place basically is illegally operating.
We had our 2 kids with us and the place felt really creepy and unsafe, so we left and got another hotel.
I’m still waiting for an answer from Expedia to get out refund.

Our hotel room was nice and had what we needed. However, the towels were quite old/dirty. Also, it was a bit difficult to sleep comfortably as there is no air conditioning. We expected the breakfast which is included with the room to actually be a breakfast, but it was just toast, coffee and orange juice. Luckily it’s restaurant has more on the menu for your own purchase.

The lock on the window was broken and stuck;as there is a flat roof right below the window not a safe situation.
Included breakfast is minimal. 2 white slices of bread, butter, juice and coffee (tasted instant) coffeemate.
The check-in counter is bank like through thick glass partition.
