Top hotels in University City
Camino Real Aeropuerto Mexico
The beds were comfortable and the bathrooms were clean. There was a bit of a sewer smell/ventilation problem in the bathroom but wasn’t terrible. The food was really good and a great selection, however, it’s very overpriced. The staff were friendly and helpful.
