Mexico City Fontana Hotel
AVOID THIS HOTEL !
The pictures in Google are not rooms you get!
I reserved this hotel through the AMEX Travel website thinking it was a good, safe hotel in Mexico City. We arrived at the hotel and could not believe the distress the room was in. The noise from the exterior was unbearable. It sounded like the trucks and traffic were inside the room. It was unbearable. We went to the lobby to ask for another room. They changed out room to another one. When we arrived in the room the noise again was unbearable even at the room was on the other side of the building. At this point we decided that the to pick another hotel and leave the following day. We spoke to the front desk who advised us that we would leave the next day. The clerk told us that we would not be charged for the rest of the reservation just that one night. After spending a night with absolutely no sleep due to the noise outside, the rock hard bed and pillows we went downstairs to checkout. Imagine our surprise when we were told that we would not receive any refund what so ever. We spoke to the manager who told us that the policy is no refund.
**Update, I have disputed 2 nights charge with American Express and the hotel refuses to refund my 2 nights that I did not stay in this dump, disaster of a hotel. Out of good customer service they should have refunded my money which they refuse to do. Another example of why you should not stay at this disaster, dump of a hotel.

The worst issue was he exterior noise in both rooms was unbearable
The pictures of the rooms did not reflect the pictures in the American Express travel portal
The air conditioner did not work well it never cooled the room
The bed was hard
The pillow were hard
