Stay Report Sheraton Maria
Here from April 9-20th. Arrived to the hotel and was upgraded to a two room suite on the 7th floor overlooking reforma and the Angel.
General Comments, the hotel is looking slightly dated from a decor standpoint.
I have a separate room with a couch, table and chairs. Chairs and couch are looking a little tired but still in pretty good shape.
The bed is a sheraton sleeper and is great. Pillows (2 nice one and 2 not nice ones).
Have access to the Gym, nice (Up charge if you book the basic rooms)
Internet wired and wireless are 190 pesos for every 24 hours (pretty standard for Mexico)
The Roof has a small pool and some nice views.
ATM is located in basement by the Valet.
Nice lobby bar, offering sushi (ok not as good as the Niko), and a couple of small apps during HH.
If you have club access a free drink and more food.
There is a second bar called joronado which is a Mexican Mariachi bar. Free for guest otherwise 150 peso cover.
Also you have a couple of gift shops, starbucks and Manhattan deli in a small concourse that is reachable from inside the hotel.
Near by -the Angel, Zona Rosa, Torre Mayo and the Park.
Short cab ride to Polacno, condessa and zolaco.
Long Cab ride to Santa Fe.
Special Tourist taxi are here and are considered the safest means of transport in the city for tourist. Prices are posted outside by the front door, you can pay peso or for a fee charge to your room via the Front Desk.
Other things near by, Sanborn's (drug store to the right of the hotel as you exit). Acros the Street is HSBC (ATM). Hotel is Banomex, several more are on the side about one block away.
Several nice places are loacted on Rio Tibor which is the road at the rear of the hotel.
If you cross the street to the Zona Rosa (During the Day) you can find about 100 places to eat including VIPS, Mcdonalds, subway, dunkin dounts, wendays, Konditorro, Itianlians, Angus, and many others. Be careful if walk in the area at night.
Two Markets in the Zona Rosa, one is located about 4 blocks away and is called the Plaza de Angel which is a super cool antique market. Then another block away is artist Market (Translated tourist Market) selling many local items.
If you walk down Reforma past the Zona Rosa is a large Mall with Pf Chang and several other American chain places.
Of Course the hotel is next to the Embassy so you may have VIP's staying at the hotel which can increase the security around the hotel.
On Sunday Mornings Reforma is closed and you can ride bikes or roller blade down it. Ask the Front desk where to get a bike.
If you walk down to Torre Mayo be sure to have a meal a Los Canaries. One of the best places in the city.
Staff was super friendly and helpful.
