Casa Azul Aragon

Close to Airport Flexibilty in Check in due to a flight delay

Old Equipment

They sold my room even though I had already paid for it one week in advance. When I arrived, they just told me they were full and there was no reimbursement. Almost midnight, I had to look for another place to stay in a city I did not know. I reported to booking.com and they just refunded me 1 dolar. Absolutely absurd.

Small-ish, family-owned hotel with a shared kitchen very close to the airport (2 miles/3km tops). The owner and staff are all very attentive and take good care of both the guests and their hotel. Fabian always makes sure everything keeps running smoothly and always listens when you point out an issue. A lamp goes out - he makes sure to replace it right away. Not enough space for the perishable goods the guests buy? He buys a 2nd fridge, lol. Señora Rosa is a wonderful lady as well, and the rooms pretty much feel totally renewed each time she goes through them, it's really great. The showers work just fine, and I never had issues with the toilet - just don't even think of throwing anything in there, in which case karmic justice will prevail. The surrounding neighbourhood is pretty nice - not too bougie, but reasonably pretty still, with a couple park zones and small gardens and such. It's located right by the highway but so long as you don't sleep with your windows open, the noise shouldn't be able to bother you. Makes accessing the hotel more convenient if nothing else. The shared kitchen is excellent if you prefer cooking your own meals as opposed to eating out. However there is a nice burger place nearby in case you get the munchies and can't be bothered to cook. The kitchen is well-stocked with implements (pots, pans etc), two fridges and a microwave. Has a washing machine that guests can use. The rooms are cleaned on a weekly basis, and the shared spaces are cleaned every day, so everything is always neat and tidy - so long as you don't go out of your way to make the staff miserable, which I hope you won't, lol, they're all wonderful people. Reasonable amount of convenience/grocery stores nearby, as well as a pharmacy right next door. There's also a market where you can buy fresh fruit, vegetables and meat nearby, look for Mercado Aquiles Serdán on Google Maps.

This isn't a "I disliked these bits" segment, it's really a "keep these things in mind" segment. THESE AREN'T NEGATIVES - just things that happen sometimes that can be somewhat annoying, YMMV. When the hotel is fully booked/has a lot of tenants, taking a hot shower can be a bit of a race. If you catch the golden half-hour, good for you. Didn't bother me too much, I just took brief & mildly cold/lukewarm showers, so it's whatever. The shared kitchen can become a bit cramped if there's a lot of people cooking meals at the same time, but what else is new. You can also get a bad/noisy neighbour here and there, but it's not like the owner can magically tell which tenant will be good people with his psychic powers or something. Everyone was chill for the most part - everyone wants to stay comfortable anyhow, and the best way to do that is to not be a moron. Some of the rooms are a lot more suited for lengthier stays than others, with a couple of them really being intended more for brief overnight stays, so pick accordingly!

Fabian is a great host, he communicates well. The place is close to the airport. There were good tacos nearby. Hot water shower. Comfy bed.
