This hotel is opposite the CAXA bus station, which has buses to and from Mexico City, Veracruz, and other places. I stayed at this hotel for the convenience of being near the station. It is a clean hotel, has rooms with a view, but you can also get a more budget room in the lower, basement-like, level. Decent food at the restaurant, all in all, a good value. You can walk downtown from this hotel, and although it takes about 20-30 minutes, there are a few things to see on the way. Not much else around this area... a few restaurants and clubs, and small stores. A great hotel for bus travelers, but I wouldn't recommend it for people who want to visit Xalapa for a few days, they would be better off finding a hotel near downtown. more
