I arrived in Veracruz via ADO bus at the bus terminal and walked several blocks to get to the hotel. The hotel is located about 3 blocks from the waterfront, and was easy to find using Google maps. The hotel looks really nice from the outside, and it is surrounded by a mix of buildings including small businesses and residential. I felt safe walking in this area throughout the day and into the evening. As you walk in to the hotel, you are greeted by the reception staff who are very nice and very helpful. My room was situated in the middle of the long corridor leading from reception. The entryway and hall leading to the room look very clean and modern. The room was simple and sufficient for all my needs. There was a bed, desk, storage and full bath. A/C was available and worked very well cooling the room very quickly on hot days; wifi was free and fast; breakfast was not available but there were plenty of options available within walking distance; laundry service was not available, but there are full-service same-day laundry services available within walking distance (ask the staff how to locate). There are convenience stores and an old market within a few blocks of the hotel. The waterfront is within walking distance and you can also get to the Aquarium and walk along the waterfront or take buses which run the entire course to get you to the old parts of Veracruz or over into the newer sections as well. Cost is minimal, but you see a lot more of the city, and you get to travel cheaply. There is a lot to do and see in old Veracruz including markets, restaurants, tourist venues, etc. There is also a lot to do in newer Veracruz including shopping malls, restaurants, movie theaters, etc. Great city to explore on foot and by bus if you are spending time there. A walk around the hotel area is also very rewarding especially if you leave the hotel and turn left and walk a few blocks. You run into everyday Veracruz with folk doing their everyday things. Lots of cafes, restaurants, parks, stores, markets, etc. Worth the walk. The hotel staff were very helpful and kind. The room was always picked up when I got back in the evenings, and the people who tended the room went out of their way to make it pleasant and inviting.
