Real de Minas Poliforum
This was such a great location for the Feria de Leon. And the big plus - while inside you had no idea of chaos outside. You really do feel like you are OUT of the city madness. Best of both worlds. Now I’ll look forward to each year that I attend the Palenque or the Feria.

Fiesta Inn Suites Aeropuerto del Bajío
Hotel needs to have airport shuttle. It's only 5 minutes away from the airport and taxis are very expensive for the distance!
