Marriott Reforma
What is the least expensive yet reasonably safe way for 2 ladies, (my Aunts) to get from MEX to the Marriott Reforma, both will have 1 carry-on bag. One speaks lite Spanish, the other is a nervous wreck about going to big bad Mexico City, LOL I am meeting them there but I come in several hours later. I had thought about having them wait for me at the airport but the more I think about it, the more I feel they can do it on their own...
I think the Metro is out but what about the bus? I think my one aunt who speaks a bit of Spanish could probably navigate it if the #4 bus gets them close to the hotel, then they get off and walk or catch a cab to the hotel... do-able?
or should they just take a cab all the way?

Taxi. Very easy--just go to one of the official taxi booths (I think there are like 3 companies) and get a voucher -- give voucher to driver. There are dispatchers outside the terminal. I did this in the winter; about 200 pesos, so about $17.
I even stayed at that hotel some months ago. Very nice, though kinda like staying in the U.S. It is a Marriott... and as far as I could tell, the entire staff speaks English.

Did you walk much around the hotel much at night? It's pretty close to zona rosa isn't it, wonder how safe for the 3 of us in the evening???
