Hotel Ciudad Real Centro Histórico
Wonderful hotel. Staff was great and the rooms were clean in a great location, right across the street from the main park and zocalo. The only issue was that the Internet was spotty at times and would be unavailable for short periods which is typical with hotels in older building.
