This used to be one of the best, if not the best hotel in Monterrey. It is outdated, needs a lot of maintenance, and worn off. The first 2 days no hot water for showering, the illuminated mirror was not working and we asked for a new one, never changed. The first day our room was not cleaned or serviced. When asking for more towels, it took a lot of time, and only brought us two (we were 3), telling us for the moment they have not enough towels. No one helped with the luggage when we arrived and you have to go down some stairs to get to the elevator, so people with disabilities would have trouble. The water pool was cold. They told us the water heater was not working. I have stayed here many years ago, and nothing compared to this unpleasant surprise for a “five star hotel”. The property feels with abandonment, short of staff, and even the staff seemed unhappy doing its job. Although the location is 5 stars, there are a lot of other upscale hotels in the surrounding area, less expensive and newer. Next time in Monterrey I won’t stay here again.
