City Express is a chain that caters primarily to Mexican business travelers. What it lacks in charm it makes up for in efficiency. When we entered our room we thought we were in Sweden or Germany. Neutral colours and everything worked. Very quiet. You can even drink the tap water. The combined AC heater works well and you do need both heating and cooling at this time of year. Overnight temps were 0 C and daytime up to 25 C. The included breakfast was adequate. Fruit, cold cereal, yoghurt, pastries, pancakes heated in the microwave, something that looks like coffee.
Just in front of the hotel are a few Mexican restaurants in a park about 2 blocks long. The restaurant on the right coming out of the hotel was the best of the bunch. The hotel is walking distance to the Zocalo (10 minutes) and a couple minutes walk to Paseo San Francisco. We found Taxi fares in puebla to be really reasonable, between 30 and 45 pesos depending on distance, so we used taxis a lot.
Highly recommend City express
