Hola,
I'll be visiting Mexico City June 15-22 and I'm looking for an affordable hotel close to Rio Sena, Zona Rosa area I guess. I would like to find a place for $50 or less for a single room, but few in that range seem to offer air conditioning (which is a must for me). Any suggestions?
Cheers,
Douglas
I lived in Mexico City for a year and never felt the need to have air conditioning. If you're looking for it mostly because you're going to "Mexico" and thus feel it'll be extremely hot, rest assured that Mexico City is a bit different. The high elevation tends to keep things in a comfortable 20 - 25 C most of the time.
I don't know of hotels in your price range that have air conditioning. Heat and/or air conditioning are exceptions to the rule in the city, in hotels or in apartments/homes.
I'm currently in Guadalajara, where it's been about 95 degrees every day but it "feels like" about 110 with the humidity according to the news. We haven't even felt the need to turn on our fans yet, as it cools down A LOT at night. I wouldn't worry at all about AC.
I hope you're right:) I'm originally from Sweden and very sensitive to heat and humidity, especially when trying to sleep.
Cheers,
Douglas
It never gets that hot in La Ciudad de Mexico!

On the september the 16th, Mexico celebrates it's independance day. The evening before big celebration is held on Zocalo in Mexico City. Huge crowd on Zocalo is having good time. At 11pm the president has his speach from the balcony of Palacio Nacional.
We had luck to come to Mexico right on this day. Surely we went immediately to Zocalo. It was interesting to see how the Mexican celebrate. People had all kinds of gadgets, from flags, hats, baloons / baloontubes (?), ... and they were very keen to spray each other with foam. We as tourist were exceptonaly desirable target.
I would call my trip adventure because I didnt know what was going to happen from day to day....but i packed like a girl..I brought everything i could possibly think of and packed it in a rolling luggage suit. I'm glad that i packed everything but next time i'm going to make it fit into a duffle bag which is much easier to carry then that damn luggage. please bring thong sandals to beach...if not the the market will rip you off by charging 20 bucks for them when you know you could have bought them for 2 dollars in the states bring pepto.....everyone used it...even my boyfriends homeboys bring your professional camera but also bring a disposable for those quick shots. i really wanted to camp on the beach but i had no equipment...i was tempted just to lay there but i hair was looking kind of funky...so i had to go back to the hotel to take a shower bring your own soap, washcloth, and towel...i would even bring my own pillowcase if push came to shove
Zona Azul is definitely never going to be found in a travel Guide or as a touristic Spot.
This zone is in the north of Mexico city, in a residencial area in Satelite known for it's great Fruit Juices, Aguas, milkshakes, Icecreams and coctails with chile.
Is very famous by the neighbours in this area and the variety of the fruits, Juices, Aguas... is amazing and delicious.
In the heart of the city of Mexico, "La Ciudadela" Centro Artesanal from 1966 bill with the biggest exhibition and sale of Mexican crafts.

In this place artisans of different ethnoses are like: Nahuas, Zapotecos, Otomíes, Mazahuas, Triquis, Tzentgales, Tzotziles, Purepechas, Mayan, Mixtecos and Huicholes.
