Hotels Near laguna de Iván e Isma in Veracruz

I came to this Hotel thinking that it might've been a little more upscale.It's an Older no frills Hotel that I very much grew to like along with The City of Veracruz they both to ne have a rustic charm about them.I think I was originally shown Room 102 which was a small room with I think a King Size Bed,Small Bathroom with a Shower + an Electronic Safe for valuables. However a Lady from The Front Desk was unable to fix my Electric Key Room Card no matter how many times she tried to fix it with some kind of Electronic Gizmo I think it was maybe a Code Reader so I was moved to Room 207 on The Next Floor up.The Staff at Howard Johnson there The Front Desk & Restaurant were friendly & happy to help if require any information price of a Local Bus,Ice for a Cooler etc. I can't comment about didn't eat at The restaurant as I ate my Meals off The Resort but it's there for an additional surcharge if you want Breakfast,Dinner etc they also have a Karaoke Night down in The Restaurant one or two days during The Week.I believe the General Manager was Angel who I'm glad was there because my own Espanol is pretty basic & limited so that Lady was a valuable help if I didn't have my phone with English to Spanish Translation App in me.The thing that I really like about the Hotel was the good Central Location I think it was in Boca Del Rio & the cool place to chill in The late Afternoon & Evening the Sixth Floor Roof where the Small Swimming Pool is located & the Amazing 360 Eagle Views & photos you can take of The Entire City & Seaport Bay ..truly priceless.I'd say to anyone staying at this City who wants a Cheaper Good Hotel that is in a decent Location then maybe give this a try I don't think you would be disappointed.Who knows if I ever do revisit Veracruz I would sure consider this Hotel as a Solid Choice to stay I enjoyed my 8 Day stay from Friday October 28-November 5 2022.. Hola everyone at Howard Johnson Veracruz from Vancouver BC thanks Alistair!

Hotel location is good in the center of the commercial street, there is a hotel parking lot behind, more than 100 years old building is still clean, the waiter's attitude is very good, the hotel cost-effective

La atención del personal es excelente, bastante amigables y con disponibilidad en atender a los huéspedes. El precio del hotel es accesible y en especial para grupos de varias personas. Los precios del restaurante son accesibles y la comida es de gran calidad, variedad y de buen tamaño. En general una gran opción si visitas el puerto de Veracruz

We are an English speaking family of 4 and Veracruz is very Spanish so we were worried that arriving at the hotel at midnight might have been a problem. Well rest assure, it was not!! We were greeted with English-speaking, kind hearted staff members! We ordered room service often, and dined in their restaurants often as well. Great food and friendly staff ALWAYS!! The location was perfect and it had a great beach right in front of the hotel. Just note you must buy an umbrella spot from the local. Lol The rooms were muggy but that is my only complaint. All in all the staff, food, service, and location were spot on!! I highly recommend this hotel if visiting Veracruz, Mexico 🇲🇽 Thank you!

the water temperature of the delicious pool, they allow you to enter until late (10 pm), gym, playground for children, good attention from their staff (for the most part, the waiter in the pool area did not have very good attitude, but he was the only one) the assigned room was a superior standard (first floor, two double beds, partial sea view and view of the Venustiano Carranza lighthouse) the noise from the street and the trucks that pass behind were worrying, but the room It seems to be soundproof as the noise did decrease quite a bit, it didn't disturb our dreams. The only observation that is made to the hotel is the area of ​​the shower and bathroom, both are reduced, the drain of the shower is covered so it was necessary to remove the lid of the strainer since otherwise it would flood and the water leaves the shower area, they forget to leave you a rug or towel for the bathroom floor so it is dangerous. Something similar with the shower and the mixer, it was difficult to regulate the intensity with the temperature of the water (a lot of water came out but hot, and little water but cold) as for the shower it is very old, it lacks maintenance, the jet it provides is irregular, I think they change it to a normal shower where all the jets come out evenly. Reception had to be reminded of the towels for the floor and hands since they did not leave them when they cleaned the room. It seems to me that all the rooms have a balcony, which is great for having a coffee at any time of the day.

el hotel es muy limpio creo que lo que no me agrado esque cuando regrese por la tarde aun estaban limpiando mi cuarto, cabe señalar que fui por trabajo y fue pocos dias pero disfrute de la piscina muy agradable. Me toco también época de mucho viento así que no pude dormir bien por el ruido que este generaba. El desayuno super delicioso y no me pareció muy caro.

As with most hotels, the experience starts at the parking lot. This place has two: a tiny one underground for compact cars, and the rest at ground level. Neither is enclosed or is guarded in any way. The ground-level section is surprisingly cramped; I was driving my own Honda Pilot and took me three movements to get into a normal-looking diagonal space. Check-in was quick, the pool is nice though crowded at all times, the seaside location is great, but the room ruined for me: it had absolutely no ventilation. Yes it had air con, but it didn't work well, so we ended up sweating like crazy all night. Very uncomfortable. Not the best option.

The hotel is super good, IN EVERYTHING ..... All the staff are very friendly ...... it only remains to congratulate the great group that has formed

We stayed at the Camino Real, May 15 - May 21. 2007. The hotel was spotlessly clean, the staff attentive -- and quick to deal with any questions or concerns. For example, the TV remote was not working -- the man was at our room and problem solved within ten minutes. Mid week, the hotel was quiet, catering to business travellers, so the pool area was very quiet. Come the weekend, Mexican tourists arrived in big numbers, so there was lots of people and lots of kids at the pool. By Monday, all was quiet again. All the rooms face the pool and the Gulf -- so everyone has a great view from their balcony. It is about a ten to fifteen minute pleasant walk to the beautiful Mall of the Americas -- a large shopping center. Steps from the front door, you can hop a bus to downtown Veracruz for 50 cents -- or a cab from the hotel front door to the Malecon downtown is six dollars. We did not know quite what to expect in Veracruz and area -- it turned out to be a real treat. Be pepared that few speak English and you may be the only non Mexican anywhere around most of the time. To us that was the charm of the place -- a super vacation away from the usual tourist Mexico of Cancun, etc. We would stay again at the Camino without hesitation.
