San Miguel de Allende, Mexico: Best Western Hotel Monteverde Express; hotel review

courtyard at Best Western Hotel Monteverde Express in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico

Best Western Hotel Monteverde Express 

Volanteros #2, Zona Centro, 5 blks. from main plaza, (800) 543-0099.  4 stars.  30 rooms.  Continental breakfast. 

Partially built in the 16th century by Spanish nobility, the hacienda-style Best Western Hotel Monteverde Express retains colonial flavor with its large courtyard garden featuring a four-century-old fountain.  It is fortified from the main street by a high wall and moat-like ditch.  The cozy breakfast room has a brick barrel ceiling with white beams and red tile floors.  Breakfast or lunch in the courtyard can be pleasant.  My suite had four double beds!, one tiny bathroom with a shower/tub and toilet “closet” separated by two perilous steps from a vanity/sink in the room.  Housekeeping was immaculate.  My spacious room overlooked the street, so I know that dogs bark relentlessly some nights, and a far-away rooster announces dawn.
