Buen hotel. El único inconveniente es que las habitaciones no cuentan con aire acondicionado y debido a eso, se siente calor.

Hotel Central es un alojamiento ubicado sobre Avenida Joaquín Antonio Peñaloza, entre las calles de General Lázaro Cárdenas y Jerónimo Mascorro, en El Paseo de la ciudad de San Luis Potosí. No es la zona más bonita de la ciudad (especialmente ya en la noche) pero es una ubicación bastante céntrica a unos metros del distribuidor vial Benito Juárez, desde el que se tiene acceso a las principales vías rápidas de la ciudad. El hotel en sí es pequeño pero cómodo y funcional. Cuenta con estacionamiento techado, WiFi, restaurante y mesas en áreas comunes. Las habitaciones son amplias y en algunos casos alfombradas. Las camas no son especialmente cómodas pero permiten descansar. Lo mejor es el precio de las habitaciones, el cuál por lo que ofrece brinda una excelente relación costo-beneficio. Bueno.
