Hotel Santa Elena

La ubicación es en el centro de la ciudad, pero cuando hay eventos cierran esa área a los carros

La cama pegada a la puerta dificulta el acceso, el restaurante está justo afuera de la habitación por lo que la privacidad se ve afectada, se escuchan muchos ruidos.

The Hotel Santa Elena in El Fuerte is an inexpensive, centrally located option in a lovely, historic building. Just be aware, it’s a very basic option. LOCATION: Right in the center of town on the main plaza. ROOM and DECOR: The building itself is historic and handsome, but the rooms are basic. The balcony room I got was small, but clean – though the first night my bedcover was discolored. Unless you sleep the sleep of the dead, I strongly recommend avoiding the rooms with balconies on the square. The main plaza is extremely noisy with traffic and loud music both early and late (prerecorded Christmas music was blasting at 6 am). I've found that hot water all over Mexico requires patience, but I could not get the water in the shower to be more than tepid after running it several minutes. SERVICE: Helpful. One of the women did my laundry for a tip. A few of the staff speak some English, most don’t. FOOD: There is a restaurant in the hotel, Mansion de Orrantia, which is quite good. WIFI: Dodgy. I was be unable to get signal for hours, and then it would come back. CONCLUSION: The hotel is inexpensive, and for a short stay it’s OK, but I would have been happier paying more for something that came closer to my expectations.

See above regarding noise, lack of hot water and unreliable wifi.

Beautiful, historic and amazing location

Very local to main square, very nice and clean. Close to restaurants.

El trato de la chica de recepción muy bueno. Nos recibió antes de la hora prevista.

La ubicación, los espacios del hotel, el área de habitación. Cerca de sitios de interes cultural. El personal atento a resolver.

Pueden ser más cuidadosos con la limpieza, el parking está ubicado en la calle

desconozco si se incluia el desayuno, al menos no nos informaron

la habitación que nos tocó tiene tres puertas/ventanas que dan para la calle, y el ruido de los carros tan temprano es imposible descansar bien, además que salió una cucaracha en el baño y otra el cuarto.
