Hotel Quinta Marciala

Had a great time. The hotel is only a few minutes drive from the main square tucked away into the less busy streets. Breakfast was decent... only one option though (bread with butter and jam, fruit + coffee or tea). The shower has hot water, which was well received. We had a private garage space for our car. We enjoyed our stay in Valladolid and will definitely consider coming back to this hotel.

The hotel is a traditional Mexican hotel. It was about a mile away from the central square. What made the hotel special was the staff who were super nice and accommodating. The breakfast was also very good with really good, hot coffee. It was a very good deal for the money. The only thing that was odd was that there were no blankets on the beds. We had to ask for blankets and they seemed surprised that we would want them. But maybe Mexicans don’t use blankets. The hotel was about a mile away from the central square. We walked there, but it wasn’t a very nice walk. Later we discovered that taxis are very cheap.

The staff here were so great. Spoke pretty excellent English, which was a cool surprise for the area. We stayed here so we were close to the bus station to get to Chichen Itza before all the tourist buses from Cancun did. Front desk recommended a lot of excellent local things to do and gave some tips about Chichen Itza, ended up being really impressed with the city. Pretty close walk to the ADO bus station, do note the route goes through a not-as-nice part of the city, although I never got the impression it was dangerous at all walking around there at night. The hotel itself has a really cute colonial feel to it, would totally stay here again.

Very pretty, helpful staff, clean, comfortable. Location was a bit outside of the old town, so not the best, but close enough.
