This hotel is a very cute and hidden place located en El Centro of Huachinango. You have a restaurant in the rooftop if you would like to dine in the hotel but there are so many other options at a walking distance. We stayed only one night but we had a good experience, we were afraid we wouldn't have hot water but there was which is a plus. The only downside side would be the parking, it's not within the hotel, they have parking but it's a different structure and your car stays locked up it's secure but a bit inconvenient. But for a quick stop like our it was just perfect.
