Fray Marcos De Niza

This place has delicious breakfast. Don’t get worried when you see the prices, they are in pesos. As of now, the conversion rate is very favorable. The have a nice rustic setting and play some fun music.
I pretty much like everything on the menu, especially the chilaquiles.

Just finished a very satisfying lunch here. Lobby, restaurant and bar have been remodeled since we were here last. Looks great, great service and food. I love any place which serves breakfast all day. I got coffee and burritos de carne machaca (shredded beef) with scrambled eggs and beans. Husband had some dental work done, so numb mouth and all, he still raved about the soup, caldo Tlapeño (We will return after many years of absence.

Things Fray Marcos succeeded in, that a $ 350/​night NYC boutique hotel I recently stayed in for work, did not:
— Doorman/​concierge Sergio went out of his way with old world hospitality to make my husband and I feel welcome, and even got back to us with suggestions for where to spend New Years, as we hadn’t made plans. (PS go to La Roca for a meal if you are in Nogales!)
— Offered to call us a cab.
— Showed up at the room within minutes of calling for bell service.
— Honored our request for no maid service, but were there with towels when we needed them.
— Free valet parking in a secured lot.
— Staff wore crisp, clean uniforms and were all impeccably polite.
My husband and I spend two nights here for New Years ’14-’15, and were charmed with the building and the staff. You enter into the beautifully redone lobby through original wood revolving doors. Your room key is in an old fashioned 1950’s holder behind the front desk. Your bags are helped to your room on a baggage cart, via an operator-​run old fashioned 50’s elevator. We requested a room in the back of the hotel, both for quiet and for a view of the town. The room was sunny with tall ceilings, but very simple. For $ 65/​night the room was not luxurious, but it was definitely clean and functional. There was a flat screen tv, free wifi, coffee maker, a hot shower with good pressure, and room service available. We ate in the restaurant downstairs, and the food was good. The staff all through the hotel spoke varying degrees of english, from easily fluent to just-​enough-​to-​get-​by. We felt safe, well taken care of, and would definitely stay here again. If only there were more price-​accessalble hotels in the US that would take a page of old-​world charm from this place!
