Homestays in Tehuacán

No hot water No sink in room Finding the hotel is difficult. They have no sign. They don’t even have a street number. The front door is locked all the time and you have to ring the bell for someone to let you in OR to let you out. You cannot leave without calling for someone to unlock the door. I would not have come here if I’d known this. I consider this a fire hazard. My room had a bathroom “closet” built into one corner. The closet has a Toilet and shower but no sink in the room. If you’ve taken a shower the entire bathroom floor will be wet. There is no bath mat. There is NO HOT WATER. There is no toilet seat. To wash your hands you have to use the sink outside in the courtyard. There is no shelf for soap or a toothbrush. There is a reasonably comfortable, firm double bed. No chair/table. /chest/closet. Nowhere to hang a wet towel or jacket. Nowhere to put a suitcase or hang clothes. Very stark. The only decoration is a wooden cross on the wall. The curtains fell down the first morning. They were just balanced on the wall, not attached. Only one useable electrical plugin. The kitchen is communal, on an upper floor. They provide water, even hot water, but there are few cooking utensils. Barely a functional kitchen. Very poor, unreliable internet. Road noise is heavy, especially in the evening. Dogs barking in the morning woke me up at 6:30a, EVERY DAY. It is mostly clean, but the second morning I awoke with my left arm, shoulder and forehead covered in bites. Mosquitoes? The room has windows, but no screens. They will clean the room but only if you agree to leave it unlocked while you are gone. While there were not a lot of people staying here, people seemed to come and go, so I wasn’t willing to just leave my door unlocked. Unfortunately, I had to pay in advance and they would not give a a refund, so I stayed more than a week here. There are approximately 20 units, but seldom was more than 4 occupied at any time.
