Mayan Inn

Description:

• This hotel, just off the central plaza behind El Calvario, is a local institution. It's perfectly located and very friendly. However, you're paying a pretty penny for some very basic accommodations here. Rooms are divided among two facing buildings, and come with two twin beds. I'd definitely ask to see a few first before making my choice. The best standard rooms are nos. 12, 14, and 15, while no. 11, a second-floor suite, has great views, tons of space, and two double beds. Each building has a garden courtyard, and Maya glyphs are painted on the walls, mixing somewhat clumsily at times with the colonial-era decor.
