ULIV Mexico City
Everything was a smooth process between checking in and checking out. The room had a few scuffs on the wall. There wasn’t hot water guaranteed all the time so that was the only inconvenience but overall it was a good location close to multiple restaurants/bakery shops! I really loved the cleanliness ...
