Plaza Juárez

Our stay was very nice. No complaints on the room or the building/ area. Would have given 5 stars if it wasn't for the front desk staff. One gentleman in particular was very off-putting. We were already checked in and my sister arrived from the airport with her 2 small girls asleep. 1 in the stroller and another over her shoulder. Her check in was at 12 and it was 8 am. She had previously been told earlier check-in wasn't a problem but when she arrived this man told her she'd have to wait. I told her to wait in our room, which has a living sitting area. He said she wasn't allowed up until check in and that she'd have to wait in the lobby or elsewhere until checkin. I asked if at least the sleeping childing could come up and he was hesitant before finally allowing me to take them upstairs. I took them up and came down to keep my sister company when the guy said there was actually a room available. I'm certain he was looking to get some under the table cash and was willing to let my nieces suffer until he got his way.

The welcoming by the bellman was excellent! He was so helpful and kind. However, the front desk staff were not welcoming at all. They got upset when we requested a room exchange. (Rooms are small)The open bar is good, but the serve had poor customer service. The breakfast in the roof top was the best part of this hotel! I loved the view and the staff service in that floor!

Staff members were great; however, during check in, they informed us they had my wife and I booked into a two double bed room, instead of the king bed room that we booked (months in advance). Essentially they had no solution other than offering free breakfast. Of note, my wife and I were traveling for our 40th birthdays and were away without the kids for the first time in 7 years. Understanding they probably had no ability to offer us our originally booked king bed room, we accepted the daily breakfast for four mornings. Compliments to the wait staff there, especially Hugo, who made our morning routine exceptional. The room was loud on some nights. There was a wedding one night and guests in rooms beside us were very loud at 2-3am and banging on our door. Despite the complaints, the hotel is in a very convenient and central location and we had an amazing time in Mexico City.
