Fiesta Americana Reforma
Great location and clean rooms. Higher floors are much quieter than lower ones. Taxi drivers were excellent. Check-in experience varied, but concierge and outdoor staff were great.

Camino Real Aeropuerto Mexico
The room was very good, clean and had a modern feel. The only thing I didn't like was that the beds had small wheels. The hotel is conveniently located next to Terminal 1 of MEX airport and the terminal can be reached via a pedestrian bridge.
