What an absolute gem! 10/10 you HAVE to watch and see for yourself!

The Road to Chiapas Part 2 – Bonus hotel review!

After our tins I monged out to sleep and woke to see just how much of a hovel the hotel I was staying in was. Ladies and Gents, te presento Hotel Casablanca, Tuxtla Gutierrez!

So this sweat box cost £14 a night to stay in and with 6.5 on booking.com so decided to chance it. while on my previous travels I have stayed in some dives, this one is up there, it could give the back section of The Cambrian Aberystwyth a run for its money!! Read part 2 before you read on here to know what the location is like though the only other detail I didn’t mention is prostitutes frequent this place quite a lot and are about on street corners outside.

Now onto the room itself. It has a fan which looks like it could drop any moment but you need it on or your just going to sweat and not sleep. The bed wasn’t too bad, some ants but not a complete swarm (par for the course in tropical países this!) then we move onto the bogs. Shower got some lovely black mould growing all around it and the hot water don’t pump out hot water! Great success mould is also growing on the sink and don’t turn the tap on because it smells like it’s coming straight from the sewers and while at least the toilet flushes the seats cracked so you’d be cold if you had a case of Delhi Belly here! Luckily hadn’t eaten so didn’t need the seat!!

It gets even better. There’s all these notices around saying strictly no alcohol in your room but want to bring a prostitute in? Absolutely no problem have at it!! FFS like! Oh well fk you I’m having my tins!!

Another funny thing is you go out for breakfast and when you leave all these maids be like “quieres limpiar la (un)habitación?” “No está bien” clean it? Take a blowtorch to that bog and bathe it in Jeyes fluid fterwards!!

One other funny thing was while I didnt get a picture and unsure but there was another notice in a funny font that either said “no fumar” or “no fungi” if the former see the para above, if the latter clearly self declared!! 

Apart from all these health hazards I was also very paranoid about my stuff getting nicked and when I went out it was a mix of keeping things on you and hiding others in your dirtiest laundry.
That concludes the first episode of Grunts hotel reviews folks!! 10/10!! Very nice now I go to San Cristóbal. Hasta luego Cabrones!!
