City Express Junior by Marriott Tuxtepec

There’s no restaurant, but they do have a breakfast buffet and a coffee machine that’s free to use around the clock.

We chose this place over the worn-out hotels downtown, even though it cost more, and the room was clean with everything we needed. It was quite small, though. The location is handy, almost on a main through road, and the parking is shared with the shops and food place. Check-in was a long wait: the two women at reception were busy with other guests and chatting, then took ages with us too, repeating the same questions. Reception is upstairs on the second floor.

The staff were kind and the hotel felt modern and was pretty good overall. Our double room was really small, though, which was the downside.

The hotel itself was a 10, and I’d come back. The service was amazing, the rooms were so nice, and breakfast was a lovely start before our drive to Veracruz. I only have good things to say about this place. The Wings spot next door was good too, apart from the ribs and chicken plate, which didn’t look anything like the pictures.
