Hostal El Farol

Northeast Mexico


This colonial hotel has a lovely central courtyard and oozes charm. The 25 spacious rooms have some period character, including terracotta floor tiles and brass headboards; the bathrooms, though, are more dated than charming. There's a good on-site restaurant and a well-maintained pool, the latter located beyond earshot of the rooms. Rates drop from Monday to Thursday.
