Hotel Ciudad Real Centro Histórico
Wonderful hotel. Staff was great and the rooms were clean in a great location, right across the street from the main park and zocalo. The only issue was that the Internet was spotty at times and would be unavailable for short periods which is typical with hotels in older building.

Posada Real de Chiapas
Perfect location. Bed was not very comfortable. We didn't try the breakfast. The sink in our bedroom had a crack. The common areas in the hotel are very nice. Hot water in the morning was not very hot

Hotel Palacio de Moctezuma
Beautiful and peaceful. It was cold in the wintertime but I believe this was normal for buildings in San Cris. I loved this stay. Being able to park in the parking lot was convenient too.
