I was in Zacatecas looking for a hotel, any hotel, during Semana Santa. One of the busiest traveling weeks during the Mexican Year. I was traveling by motorcycle and was worn out navigating the narrow and sharply inclined streets of Zac. I finally parked the bike at a small park and by the Grace of all that is Good found the Hotel Del Vasco at the corner of said park. Love this place! The people working there are so nice and the rooms and buildings are beautiful. I loved it. Location is key as well as it is only a block or two from Centro. Easy 5 minute walk. Each room has a name (mine was Encantada) and it was immaculately clean. My next visit to Zac will be in this extremely affordable and beautiful hotel.
