Mexican equivalent of “Motel 6” in some Latin backwater.
A better place to learn interesting things. 5-Star hotels on a 4-star tour tend to be much alike, I suspect.
The "Motel 6" was more fun. Hung out evenings with the guys on the job in some local bar. Met interesting people, ate a bunch of questionable food that still tasted delicious, prob best off not knowing what it was. I'm sure that the bartender robbed me blind - I was on an expense account and didn't particularly care. Bought round after round at $1/beer.
Great people there. All the young and pretty girls wanted to talk to me to practice their English. I tolerated it, just barely. :-)
