not. You may want to opt for a TV since there is not a whole heck of a lot to do once the sun goes down. At the San Carlos Hotel you will have a room that is painted in blue and pink. This hotel is located on Portal Madero. These rooms come with two beds, cable TV, and telephones. The prices here are not very economical. You will pay 310 pesos for a single, 410 pesos for a double and 510 pesos for a triple. They do accept all major credit cards here. You may also want to check out the Maya Hotel located on Hidalgo.

The doubles with a private bathroom cost 210 pesos per night. They only accept cash at Maya Hotel .
