This hotel is close to the metro, in the historical district and cheaper than anything Lonely Planet. It's clean, has a funky 70's style, with lots of rooms that overlook the malecon (which can get a bit noisy, but is a great view). They have free wifi, cheap room service, and the price is $240 pesos (roughly $21USD) a night, and MUCH nicer than other hotels for twice that price in the area.
But BE CAREFUL-- the lady at the front desk showed us the 'Junior Suite' when we asked about a single room, and we took it, not realizing that it was special in any way. It doesn't have an extra space, no amenities that are different, essentially a rip-off, especially since the wifi doesn't reach the room!
. So we were charged about double what we would have been, had she not pulled the bait-n-switch. The rest of the staff seem much more trustworthy.
