河畔酒店(Hotel River Side)

El hotel ciertamente tiene una ubicación y vista excepcional para algunas habitaciones, pero al borde de un camino de 4 voces frente al puente que cruza el río donde el muelle de salida hacia el cañón es bastante práctico, pero nuestra habitación no era muy agradable para comparar. Otros, el hotel estaba vacío, podríamos haber tenido una pequeña mejora con una habitación en el primer piso, que preferimos.

Buena atención

Muy recomendable

Pros: I liked that it is easy access and close to the airport. The property itself is pretty. It has its own parking lot. The view from the room is beautiful, towards the River. The rooms are very spacious. And the fact that it has air conditioner is a huge plus. Also, there is cold and hot water which is really good. I did not go to the pool but I saw it and it looks very inviting. It has a changing area, a restroom and tables. I enjoyed my stay there and will definitely come back here. Cons: There’s the hotel and that’s it. There are no stores or restaurants walking distance. There are several though within driving distance. You can use a taxi service but the receptionist did not recommend it for safety issues. The shower and toilet are in the same room. The hotel restaurant closed early since there was only one other guest (although the lady made an exception and cooked some french fries for us, which was nice of her.) The beds are spacious (king/full and twin) but the sheets are a little hard and the pillows high. Overall, we did enjoy the hotel for the money paid. I would definitely come back.

This hotel is reasonably close to the Tuxtla Gutierrez airport, affordable, clean and generally comfortable. Following my usual review pattern, here are the Good, the Bad and the Ugly: The Good: I have 3 high priorities, and this hotel checked all 3 boxes. It didn't smell bad. It had comfortable sheets. It had a mini-split A/C that worked well enough to keep the room a nice temperature. The room was clean, the water hot, the wifi free, and the mattress comfortable (not something I can always say about Mexican hotels). The Bad: In our room, there was a window at the top of the shower that shown a bright green light into the room. Although I put a towel over the door, it still lit up the room enough to interfere with getting to sleep. Thankfully, the management turned off the colored lights outside the patio-side, otherwise it would've felt like trying to sleep at the circus! The Ugly: Although the sheets and mattress were comfortable, there were no true bed pillows. For our king-sized bed, there were three small, very firm pillows with covers matching the bedspread. They were not good pillows for sleeping, but the worst part was the scratchy covers. I realized the next morning that our traveling companions DID have bed pillows with appropriate pillowcases though. So if we ever return to River Side Hotel, I will definitely make sure to ask for proper bed pillows. Overall, our stay was really pretty good! The scratchy pillows were really the only bad thing, and next time I'll know to ask and not just assume that none would be available.
