Hotels near Plaza Amarilla, Campeche

Great location within the walls of the colonial city of Campeche. Our room was one floor above the lobby and this made it difficult to bring our luggage up without an elevator. The room was adequate with a stand alone closet and drawers for storage. Beds were decent. Our room overlooked Calle 12. The bathroom was tiny and dated. The shower cramped, awkward and dangerous entering or exiting as it is easy to slip on the wet floor. My travelling companion found the shower head to be too low. The most annoying aspect of our stay was the lack of privacy in that we could easily hear other guests' conversations, using their bathrooms, showers, etc. The hotel did include an American breakfast each morning in an adjacent dining room. The offering included three choices of cooked eggs, accompanied by white bread toast and choice of fruit of the day or orange juice. Orange juice is your best option. Of course, weak coffee was included with complimentary top up. The insult was asking for milk which cost an additional 20 pesos. Cheap in my opinion. My rating, a very dated 2 1/2 star tourist class hotel with its best advantage being location and off street parking (which we did not use). Service staff certainly tried their best and were happy to help which made our stay more bearable. There is also a small travel agency/tour office on site. We will stay elsewhere next time we visit the beautiful city of Campeche.

We arrived in Campeche late in the evening after a five hour drive from Chetumal and were exhausted. We had read good reviews about the Holiday Inn so we stopped for an overnight. We paid at the front desk and went to sleep. Next morning we saw that we were charged $20.00 more than what was advertised on various hotel booking sites so we went down to the front desk and asked them if they would lower the rate to what was on the sites, we would like to stay another night. They refused. This upset us a bit because these hotels always say to book directly through them to get the best rate! At any rate..the pluses: Great breakfast, clean view with a beautiful view. Helpful concierge and bell service. Just wish the front desk had been a bit more helpful. We ended up going to a beautiful B&B in the historic district for half the price.
