Hotel Misión Express is a peaceful and clean hotel with beautiful landscaping and gardens. I recently stayed there for three nights and enjoyed my stay. The location is right on a major avenue a short walk to an OXXO and a short drive to numerous restaurants.
As you enter the grounds past the security gate, there are several rows of one story buildings which house the rooms. Plenty of parking and direct access to your room. I appreciated the beautiful landscaping and gardens. The buildings are rather dated, more like what we used to call a motor inn, but are clean, simply but tastefully decorated. There was an ironing board and full sized iron in the closet along with a room safe. Two complimentary bottles of water are provided each day. Free WiFi and cable TV on a flat-screen are also provided.
The beds and linens were very nice. I slept very well. No street noise. The AC worked and cooled the room, but I think it is rigged to not cool any more than to 20 degrees Celcius. When I first entered it was hot, so I set it to 16 degrees and never changed it. It never got any cooler than 20.
Both the shower and the sink have hot and cold water and decent pressure. The towels were good sized, nice and thick. The sink area is separate from the toilet / shower room.
A full hot buffet breakfast is included in the price (just over $50 US dollars). Breakfast included coffee, fruit, cereal, juice, eggs, beans, chilaquiles, gorditas, and a couple of other hot dishes. You get a breakfast ticket each day to present in exchange for your breakfast. If you can't handle spicy, go light on the salsa! It definitely has a bite! There are servers to attend you as you dine in the air conditioned enclosed palapa by the pool and behind the Wings restaurant which is next to the hotel reception building. As you eat you can enjoy the TVs or look out the picture window over the garden area.
I have stayed in fancier hotels, but for the price you can't beat Misión Express. read more
