OYO Hotel Real de Tuxtla

It was just okay.

A nice spot to stay.

The reception staff were really friendly, and there’s Wi-Fi, which is why I’m giving it 2 stars. Still, I wouldn’t come back. The place felt very unhygienic, and the damp, dirty smell followed me from the entrance into the bedroom. The couch had blood stains, there was mold on the sink and shower floor, the walls were peeling and damp, wires stuck out of the wall, and the doors were old wood eaten through by worms. There was no water heater, and the TV had at most seven channels. Near the entrance there’s a small gym, coffee maker, and lounge area, but it doesn’t feel welcoming. It was a very unpleasant night. I had to stay because my budget was tight and other hotels were full or far too expensive. They charged me $600 a night. I expected a lower price if I booked by phone, but when I tried to reserve, they quoted $1700 🥺. I’ve stayed in much cleaner, better motels for less. Unfortunately, my phone had a problem and the photos from my stay were deleted.

At $500, a room with a double bed and a single bed is a low-cost option. It has air conditioning, a restaurant, free Wi-Fi, and a TV with movie channels. The rooms aren’t luxurious or especially clean, and the walls are a bit rough. Fine if all you need is a cheap place to sleep.
