We found the Mariquinta a good refuge from the traffic and noise of the city. Xalapa's motorists seem particularly fond of using their horns. The location of the posada is good; just a few blocks from key sites of interest to the visitor. A couple of cautions: If you're paying in cash (worth a 10% discount on your bill), make... more

We stayed in La Posada for 7 days while attending a conference at a nearby more expensive hotel. We were very satisfied and would stay again but could see some problems for other guests with different needs. 1) From the center of town one has to ascend several blocks on an extremely steep street. The mini-suite we were given was... more

The gardens and artwork make this a delightful retreat. It is extremely clean and well-kept. There is a discount for multiple nights, a deposit is required with the reservation, and the balance due upon arrival (cash only). Very helpful staff who respect the privacy of the guests. more

I chose it this time because we would be celebrating my daughter's birthday and my daughter and son-in-law's wedding anniversary during our stay and I wanted the... more

Our room opened into a common area with couch, coffee table, dining table, and coffee maker and microwave. This room opened into a totally private courtyard with beautiful landscaping. The main area opens... more
