"Positive: This place is above average for the money. I has close proximity to many dentists in the area. There's an Oxxo 2 bloc,s away and a restaurant 2 blocks one way and 4 blocks another way that are plate lunch style, always crowded and always with something on the menu that's good. Otherwise, it is enjoyable as many hotels at 4x the price. It was basic but super clean, maids were cheerful and accommodating. Positive security features and they use the blank unmarked white-key system where the door reads the car and it gets changed with each new guest. Door locks were solid and positive snap. Maid always knocked before entering asking if I wanted service.
Of potential concern: It does have one of those door pass keys that where have to stick in a slot inside the room in order for the A/C to run which means that it can be an inferno when you return to your room after away all day since you are in Monterrey which is very hot in the summertime. It's too bad the cooling can't got to half speed when you leave instead of just shutting off.
Somewhat of a concern: No water provided or source of water - you need to bring your own. The Oxxo being 2 blocks and 7-11 being 5 blocks offsets that mostly. However this is noteworthy if checking in after dark, as there are a few seedy looking late night bars in the surrounding areas."
