YMMV. Some properties are more honest than others in this regard, IMHO.

25 US Dollar equals
372.94 Mexican Peso
(today's exchange rate)

If the hotel offers a poor exchange rate, not all but many do, then I will get something along the lines of:

25 US Dollar equals
295 Mexican Peso

I will post once I receive my actual folio.
