Hotel California es una joyita de la ciudad cuando te alcanza el sueño y el cansancio cerca de Buenavista. A partir de las 9pm la noche suele tener promoción. La regadera puede mejorar pero en general es un buen lugar para descansar.

Bueno, bonito, barato, ¿Que más se puede pedir? Las habitaciones un poco chicas pero si no eres quisquilloso están ideales para hacer lo que tienes que hacer, sobretodo con tu pareja, quizá sería bueno que hagan una pequeña ampliación a las habitaciones, pero en fin, cumplen la función que deben.

Lo bueno: Las habitaciones están limpias y es de precio accesible tanto para unas horas como para quedarse toda la noche. Lo malo: el de la recepción siempre está de jeta y habla muy bajo... Los controles de la TV nunca sirven. Y hay ruido todo el tiempo (ruido de los de limpieza y la alarma de la entrada siempre está sonando)

Califico con 5 estrellas el lugar por lo siguiente: los precios son muy accesibles para estancias cortas (4 horas -$220.00 con cama King size) y para hospedarse ($350.00); las habitaciones tienen lo necesario (toallas, jabón, shampoo, crema corporal); los espacios son un poco reducidos pero para descansar o para pasar un agradable momento con la pareja cumple. La limpieza es buena en las habitaciones, el sanitario también está limpio aunque recomendaría tener disponibles un par de sandalias ya que el retrete está pegado a la regadera y no tiene cancel o cortina por lo que nunca está por demás considerar está parte de higiene personal. Las habitaciones no cuentan con secadora. El establecimiento no cuenta con estacionamiento pero a la vuelta de la esquina a unos 100 mts. hay un estacionamiento público barato ($30.00 pesos la hr.) Tiene tiendas (misceláneas) alrededor por lo que por comida o bebidas no hay problema. El personal es amable, los controles para la televisión son aparte con un depósito de $100.00 que se devuelven al salir. Recomendable ir de día ya que la zona no es segura me parece por la noche si vas a pie, si se visita por la noche es mejor quedarse a dormir o en su defecto extremar precauciones y dejar pertenencias de valor en el automóvil únicamente sacar lo indispensable.
