Mexico: Hotel Colonial

We made a one night stop in Toluca, on our way to Acapulco. Our expectations weren’t high, the plan was to get a cheap place to sleep that wasn’t going to be too creepy. We read about the Hotel Colonial in a travel guide –the review said it was nice- and went for it. We were surprised to discover it was more than just nice, it was actually a luminous hotel, with stained-glass windows and spacious stairwells surrounding an interior patio. As its name suggests, the colonial style rules, although without the heavy feeling. The room was big, comfortable and sparkling clean –all that for under 35$. The staff was friendly and helpful. The location is great (next to the Arcos and the lively plazas) and the parking lot is safe and free.


Downsides:
-the parking lot is one block away and locked at night (if you need something in your car, the staff will unlock it without making a fuss).

Warnings: none
Price range: $
Global evaluation : Thumbs up!
