I really enjoyed my stay here. The pool area is fabulous, the hotel is conveniently located within a short distance of a grocery store and connected to a high end mall. It is a newer hotel (opened March 2020 I believe). I would stay again in a heart beat, it is well maintained, excellent COVID protocols, and beautiful views. There is some room for improvement with cleanliness and front desk check in staff. The pool area is mostly unstaffed, and when I arrived there were only two towels, both dirty. I had to use the app chat function to get someone to open an umbrella for me. The pillowcases had very small, hardly noticeable stains. I found the women working at the front desk was a bit cold. She was effective, but didn’t make me feel very welcome. She was in a rush to serve others and forgot to give me my credit card back. I was left waiting for her to serve others before she realized I was still there. Status recognized, but not upgrade I could discern (it is based on availability). Having the room serviced was slow. There were carts in the hallways all day long but it was well after 2 each day before anyone ever got around to it.
Very much enjoyed our two night stay at the JWM Monterrey. Well located near restaurants and shops but unfortunately vehicles were prioritized over pedestrians at these establishments. Be careful when walking. That said the property is the nicest JW I’ve ever visited. The upgrade to the junior suite with a certificate was a wise move. The room featured 1.5 bathrooms and a very large footprint. Even though it was an odd numbered room on the second floor, we had no issues with outside noise. The enormous breakfast buffet is included for Bonvoy Platinum Elite and higher guests. It’s not to be missed. We also had the pool and fitness center to ourselves on a Monday afternoon. Only drawback was the executive lounge. It’s a beautiful and large space. The evening service fell far short of expectations set by JW properties in CDMX and Guadalajara. Food was presented at 6:30 PM but was not refreshed throughout the evening. No bartender was present and the lone staff member did not offer any cocktails or wine. The self service wine dispenser was empty. Around 7 PM the staff member disappeared. Gave up on the lounge after that.
Located in San Pedro Garza García a city where natural landscapes and headquarters of the most important companies converge. Presidente InterContinental Monterrey is just steps from a great variety of restaurants, museums, and shopping.With more than 15,037 sq. ft. for meetings and events space, we are the ideal destination for world class events.
The hotel gives you 1 tiny water bottle for coffee and 2 more tiny ones for drinking which is not enough for 2 people in hot weather. On the last day, we finally found a place nearby to buy water but there is no fridge in room to keep it cold. This is ridiculous. The internet worked on and off in the room which was frustrating too. On the positive side, the beds were comfortable. The terrace bar is a pleasant place to have a late afternoon drink. The location is good in that you can walk to some nice restaurants in metropolitan center. You can enter Fashion Drive mall directly from bottom floor.
My daughter chose the Safi Metropolitan as the main hotel for her May wedding; I stayed there for a week. The hotel itself and location are beautiful but the problem was that the air conditioning in all rooms, at least the ones from the wedding guests were not working properly. We had record heat, at 103°F, that week. The electricity kept going on and off and at one point I was stranded at the lobby for over an hour waiting for the electricity to come back. I also got stuck for a few seconds in the elevator when the electricity kept going on and off in the hotel. That day we were having the makeup test and even the makeup artist was stuck in the room with my daughter. We were staying on floor 31 so it was impossible for me to go up all those flights of stairs. The day of the wedding the whole weeding party including myself and bridesmaid had to get ready in full heat because the air conditioning in the suites were not working. The pictures had to be taken with all of us sweating; it ruined the whole experience for us. You could not even have a good night’s rest because you would wake up sweating during the night. Everyone was very nice at the hotel with the exception of one person in the front desk that was rude to me and my daughter. Every time you called the front desk, they did not answer so you would end up having to go all the way down to the lobby and then you would see lines of people waiting to check in; their system to check in needs to improve. All the guests that arrived for the wedding had to wait for hours to get their rooms even after the check in time. I would not stay here unless you love heat. Beautiful hotel and location but not worth the inconvenience.
Pues anteriormente ya me había hospedado y los pequeños incidentes los supieron resolver , en esta ocasión había falla en el servicio eléctrico de la zona del hotel , al momento de hacer check inn si no es por una chava del personal administrativo que le dijo al recepción que comunicara a los huesped de la falla , pues pasaron mas de 5 horas y tuvimos que cancelar la estancia , creo que a media luz , sin tv , y aire acondicionado es muy pesado la estancia
