I have stayed at the Camino Real many times, I am happy to report that they are finally remodeling the rooms.
The bar and restaurant continue to be excellent, The tennis courts are gone as is the putting green.
The hotel has 24 hr. security and all access is via gated entrance.
Great place to stay.

I stayed here while travelling through Mexico on business, at the early part of June 2009. The hotel setting is the best part of the hotel (it is in its own grounds and has a pool, it is however, on a main road) as the rooms, were tired and shabby. The bed was clean; however, the water for the shower had problems and was very "irony" and had to be run for a long time to clear it.

The food in the "local" restaurant (they have two, with the other being a steak place) was poor and not as good as some food I had during my trip. Did not have breakfast, so can not comment.

There are better hotels in Saltillo, I stayed at the Hampton once and if I came here again, this is definitely where I would stay.

Sure the hotel rooms show some wear and tear, the appeal of the Camino Real - Saltillo is the safety and security of the hotel grounds and the beautiful setting of the hotel. The gardens and the pool were beautiful and I recommend this hotel for travelers who are driving into Mexico or returning.

This was my fifth time staying at Camino Real and also the last. I will be insisting my company book a different hotel. I had issues every time and changed rooms every time to find issues everywhere. Here are just a few of the issues I had this last visit only. The breakfast was so cold the bacon fat was starting to congeal. I stayed a week and got the Internet to work for about one fifth of the time or less. This is an issue at all visits. Water pressure horrible. Toiletries not replenished for five days. Temperatures were almost freezing with no heat. During my summer stay, A/C didn't work. Front desk workers didn't seem to care about these issues. This is supposedly a four diamond hotel--no way!
