The area around the hotel felt a bit unsafe, and while the hotel has a lot of high-tech features, using the key cards to get into the room and operate the elevator can be kind of a hassle. I had to get my card reactivated twice—luckily my room was on the first floor.
Also, the name Holiday Inn Mexico Zona Centro is a bit misleading since it’s not actually in Zona Centro. We even got a few comments from taxi drivers when we gave them the hotel name and address. It would be more accurate to call it Holiday Inn Zona Cuauhtémoc.
