A very reasonable hotel. Maybe needs a decor update but I would recommend it.

Buena ubicación, buen precio y bonito aunque antiguo el hotel. Lo malo es la falta de luz que según el encargado también en noches anteriores había fallado la energía eléctrica. Nuestra ubicación en el séptimo piso y tener que subir con ayuda de celulares porque nadie de la recepción pudo apoyar...solo decían que teníamos que esperar en el lobby para poder usar el elevador. Hasta las 4:30 horas llegó la luz y ningún disculpe usted.

El mejor hotel del centro de Tampico y uno de los más tradicionales de la ciudad. Estilo clásico, con una atención excepcional por parte del personal y precio aceptable. Amplio estacionamiento tanto en el hotel como enfrente, tienen tres pisos de estacionamiento. Ubicación inmejorable.
