Hotel Posada Maria Luisa is a no-frills, centrally located posada on Hernández Macías that suits travellers who want to spend their money on food and experiences rather than the room. It is a three-class property in the Zona Centro with a terrace, a bar and a restaurant, and it offers practical, comfortable rooms at lower prices than the boutique hotels nearby.
Location and getting around
The posada is about five minutes' walk from the Allende Garden and around seven from the Parroquia, close enough to wander out for coffee or dinner without a taxi. The streets around are cobbled and sloping, so pack flat shoes. The hotel has no parking of its own, and visitors report that paid parking is available a few blocks away, so ask the hotel for the current arrangement if you are driving.
The rooms and facilities
Room types include a Double room with a king or queen bed, a Junior Suite with a king bed, a Family room that sleeps four and a Family Quadruple room of about 323 square feet with two queen beds. Rooms have ceiling fans, desks, cable TV and free toiletries, and bottled water is provided.
There is free WiFi, a 24-hour front desk, laundry service and help with tours and tickets. A terrace, a bar and a restaurant are on site, and guests mention enjoying breakfast on the roof, though you should check whether breakfast is included in your rate.
Who it suits and what to know: budget travellers, solo visitors and families who want a central base. There is no pool, check-in runs from three to nine in the evening, so tell the hotel if you will arrive late, and pets are not allowed. Free cancellation is offered on selected rates. If you want a spa, a pool or on-site parking, look at a larger hotel. If you want a simple bed in the middle of town, this is a sensible choice.
