Hotel Casa Santa Lucía

Depending on who you ask, the Hotel Casa Santa Lucía garners a reputation as either a well-preserved, beautifully crafted memorial of Zacatecas' colonial era or an aged property that relies too much on its Old World charm. Surrounded by the city center's World Heritage-protected architecture, the Hotel Casa Santa Lucia delivers little in the way of extra amenities. Rooms are uncluttered and feature cable TV and room service. But reviewers are quick to note the main selling point for choosing to stay at this hotel is its unbeatable location, not its scant fixtures. However, with the hotel's convenient setting comes inevitable street noise; past guests suggest reserving a room in the back of the hotel to ensure a restful night's sleep. Travelers also suggest taking to the streets when you're ready to chow down. Though the hotel hosts its own restaurant and bar, past patrons preferred the nearby dining venues — especially since the knowledgeable and attentive staff is quick to steer you toward some tasty eats.
