Posada San Nicolás, my experience.
With little information provided on social media, I have to admit that I was skeptical about this place, but at the end of the day I've picked this hotel for 2 main reasons.
1. Price is unbeatable, and hello!! you are having your own bathroom. I know, right!!, lol.
Let me tell you, that I've researched and most "posada guest houses" you have to share a bathroom.
So yeah this is what made me stay here. the price for 1 person is $450 pesos per day, I don't know how much it is per family, which most customers came with their families.
2. A friend of mine has also recommended that I have my stay at this hotel, many years ago himself had his stay there as well. The area is nice, is super safe, I stayed for 14 days, I was walking to the store, and going to eat, and nothing unusual ever happened.
Don Armando, whom has been working for so many years at San Nicolás will be driving you to your consular appointments.
Any extra trips, such as picking up your package, or taking you to the airport, getting groceries, etc, would cost you; but no that much, Don Armando is the driver for all your needs, he is a nice guy. Most consular trips are made in groups, with people that have similar times for their appointments.
Everybody I saw at San Nicolás were staying there for Consular appointments as well, so in my opinion is a good thing that we traveled as a pack, because we can talk about our concerns, and learn from each other things like: what the embassy won't let you bring in, what extra documents you gonna need, where to get them, etc.
If you go to México to fix your situation with the embassy, I would totally recommend this "posada hotel"
Now for some reviews, I will agree in the cold season rooms are freezing, so make sure to bring a nice coat to wear in your room! and yes, beds are somewhat worn out, but rooms are clean and you have what you need in your room. Frankly, I think that that is a small price to pay to save big money while you are at Juárez. My trip wasn't vacacional anyway.
There are fancier Hotels indeed, and closer to the embassy, but they will be very pricey. Keep on mind that you could be staying there for a few extra days though.
The owner, Doña Mela is super nice, talks to you as if you were a family member, also she has gained a lot of experience on consular cases, someone you can talk to, and she never misses your appointments, she writes all down, and don Armando will be there to pick you up on time. They have been helping people for many years for what I heard from my friend.
I gave her a hug when I left.
I did miss Doña Mela u0026 Don Armando when I had to leave.
That tells you one thing, they made me feel that my stay with them was the right choice.
Thanks for reading, I hope this helps you to decide where to stay
