After our first hotel choice turned out to be a dud, our taxi driver recommended this hotel and he wasn't wrong. This small renovated hotel is 4 blocks from the zocalo. All the rooms surround a central patio and each of the 11 rooms has its own small patio. A continental breakfast (with good coffee), included in the cost, is served on your patio each morning. The staff is gracious and we felt very safe. If you pay in cash you get a 10% discount. We had a room with a single and double bed for about $65 a night. Lovely and peaceful--a central fountain and flowers everywhere.
