iStay

Monterrey


A huge concrete hotel that enjoys a great location, facing pedestrianized Morelos and close to Monterrey's Macroplaza. The branding screams 'hip hotel' but iStay's carpeted rooms are actually very standard fare, though comfortable enough and fair value. Rates vary enormously: try booking online to access the best offers.
