3-star hotels in Ciudad Apodaca

Apodaca is an honest, practical kind of place. Its own centre has a main plaza, a parish church, occasional local fairs and some very good taquerías; the big sights are metro-wide, with the Macroplaza and Parque Fundidora some 20-25 kilometres away, the Cerro de la Silla in view, Chipinque over in San Pedro, and the Grutas de García or Santiago with the Cola de Caballo waterfall about an hour out. Visitors come here mainly to sleep close to the airport and move on, or to work in the industrial corridor along the eastern edge of Monterrey.

All 11 hotels on this list sit in Ciudad Apodaca itself, on the roads that lead to the terminal: Carretera Miguel Aleman, Boulevard Aeropuerto and Avenida del Teléfono. Every one of them is a 3-star property, and most pair a fitness centre and free parking with free wifi. Couples on a short break will find quiet, functional rooms; families are served by family rooms and, at some addresses, an indoor pool and games room; business travellers get business centres, meeting and banquet space and quick access to the airport road.

Getting there and around

The site's own notes on Apodaca are blunt: getting in and around without a car is limited, and the town itself holds little to see beyond the main plaza, the parish church, occasional local fairs and some very good taquerías. The wider sights are metro-wide, with the Macroplaza and Parque Fundidora some 20-25 kilometres away, the Cerro de la Silla in view, Chipinque in San Pedro, and the Grutas de García or Santiago with the Cola de Caballo waterfall about an hour out. Plan on a vehicle for those trips; every hotel on this list offers free car parking, several have car rental service, and One Monterrey Aeropuerto lists a shuttle service.

When to go

The site's text gives no seasonal guidance for Apodaca, so nothing specific can be promised about timing. What it does describe is a town whose own attractions are the main plaza, the parish church, occasional local fairs and some very good taquerías, with the real sightseeing spread across the metro area: Parque Fundidora and the Macroplaza 20-25 kilometres away, the Cerro de la Silla in view, Chipinque in San Pedro, and the Grutas de García or Santiago with the Cola de Caballo waterfall about an hour out. Local fairs are the one element tied to a particular moment, so it is worth checking before booking.
