We had planned a relaxing stay at Hotel Century Reforma, but unfortunately had to leave the morning of our arrival due to a family emergency—our son was in a car accident and admitted to the ER, and we had to catch the first flight back to Texas.
I explained the situation to the hotel staff, hoping for some compassion or flexibility, but was told that since we booked through Expedia at a non-refundable rate, they couldn’t reimburse us for the unused nights.
While I understand how hotel policies work, I also know that properties have complete discretion to make exceptions in extreme cases. This was one of those moments, and it’s disappointing that the hotel chose not to exercise that discretion.
Beyond the lack of empathy, the property itself left much to be desired. The windows seem quite old—street noise poured in constantly, making it hard to rest. The hotel feels outdated overall, and the uneven floors were especially difficult for someone like me, who suffers from chronic vertigo.
I wouldn’t recommend this hotel for travelers seeking comfort, quiet, or responsive service in moments of crisis.
