I would personally go for City Express which is charging around 700.

Good luck.

Hi - I live in San Luis, you are welcome to e-mail me at pwzap@yahoo.com for more specifics. The Panorama and Real Plaza are the best for seeing downtown on foot with safe parking, they will run maybe 700 pesos. For cheaper downtown access try the Concordia or MariaChristina, right downtown here (Centro Historico) is the best place to be for on foot seeing all theaters, cathedrals, museums, usually lots of free concerts cafes etc. There are a bunch of cheapies in the Center, there is space everywhere except maybe Xmas and Easter, Plaza Hotel is no more, Progreso has very large cucarachas it is reported. Holiday Inn Express and the bunch of biz hotels like that are on route to the Zona Industrial, at least 10 min trafficy drive from Centro off a big highway and looks like a prosperous industrial zone anywhere in the world.

the holiday inn or maria dolores hotels are pretty nice

My husband and I visited San Luis Potosí (the city) in April 2007. As we didn't know the city and wanted to find a cheap place close to the center, we went with a popular guidebook's recommendation.

When we told the cab driver we wanted to go to the Hotel Progreso, he was incredulous. He asked if we were sure we wanted to go there. That should have been our first clue that the guidebook wasn't telling the whole truth.

Decades ago, the hotel probably was "the" place to stay in the center of town. Though it is cheap ($270 pesos a night) and centrally-located, it is not very clean (I dropped something and had to get on my hands and knees to look for it. I saw who-knows-what under the bed! I'm sure no one has cleaned under it for years!).

The bathroom is tiny and grungy. The towels are thin and not especially clean.

Needless to say, we will be looking for another place to lay our heads for our next visit to San Luis!

Another thing....don't eat in the hole-in-the-wall restaurant in the hotel. The cook was smoking while she was cooking!! The ash from her cigarette nearly fell into my huevos rancheros!!
