Wine taster mentions Cleops almost as an afterthought. Read my more recent reviews to be better prepared for what to expect. I was overwhelmed when I walked in the first time, kind of long my first time n the Hong Kong club in Tijuana. I took his recommendation on the Hotel Plaza Arteaga as well and I would give it a hard pass. The location is excellent, central to everywhere you want to go in Monterrey. Staff is very friendly and helpful as well as competent. The restaurant serves a decent reasonably priced breakfast. But the rooms are like a rent by the hour sex motel. No windows so no outside or natural light. No closets or drawers, so you can't really unpack and settle in, and I was there five nights. No room safe, which is important. There are better options nearby for the same rate, about forty a night. On the plus side, they don't restrict the number of visitors you have. In Mexico City I stayed at a sex hotel shithole. ($30 a night) that limited you to one visitor at a time and one a day. They actually refused to allow a hottie that had come to see me come in because another girl had visited that morning. Hotel Princesa on Tlalpan road in the heart of streetwalker territory. Clerk behind opaque bulletproof glass, always a bad sign, who were surly and completely unhelpful after I paid six nights in advance. No coffee no amenities and 20 pesos for a tiny bucket of ice. Steer clear of that dump.
