This 65-room budget hotel near
the airport has basic rooms with thin walls, noisy AC units, and views of billboards or warehouse buildings. The restaurant serves all three meals (including beer
after 11 a.m.)., and both continental breakfast and transfers to the airport are free, making the hotel suited for short stopovers. Two rooftop hot tubs are an unexpected extra. Guests not in transit to or from the airport will find little reason to stay here. The nearby Courtyard by Marriott Cancun Airport is nicer but also more expensive.

Scene
A layover budget hotel right near the airport
The Comfort
Inn Aeropuerto in Cancun is a fine choice for visitors in transit to or from the airport. While it is reasonably comfortable, and even includes a small business center with three computers, and
an auditorium for up to 50 people, this is not a business-class or long-term hotel. Just off the highway, the simple
block-and-plaster building has a rounded front with glass windows looking out over the Hotel Zone, and a covered
entryway. It stands out compared to the typical square or rectangular warehouse buildings directly adjacent. The lobby is sparsely decorated, with tile floors and sofas. Stairs lead up to the other floors or
down to the parking garage, a hallway leads back to ground-level rooms, and
an elevator can take you all the way up to the rooftop terrace.While the
views from the rooftop aren't amazing, there are two whirlpool tubs, showers, a couple of bathrooms, and an
outdoor bar area that is not
currently in regular use. The started a six-month renovation in January of 2016 to add two more
floors onto the building, as well as remodel and expand the existing
restaurant.
Location
On a lonely stretch of highway near the airport
The
area of Cancun near the airport is industrial, which means visitors should not expect colonial architecture or modern designs. Instead, the Comfort Inn is parked directly between a warehouse and loading docks on one side, and a car rental agency on the other, with
billboards filling most of the skyline to the north and south. A Subway and a convenience store are within walking distance.Airport transfers are included in the room rates, and most guests are only here
for an overnight stay. For those who do need to go somewhere besides the airport, a bus stops outside the Central de Abastos corporate office and runs to the primary mall in downtown Cancun, Plaza las Americas; service is 7 a.m. until 8 p.m. Monday through Saturday. It is roughly a 20-minute ride, and from the mall travelers can go to other places in the city, or to
the Hotel Zone. Taxis are also available.Plaza La
Roca is about 10 minutes away by taxi or bus, and there you can find a variety
of shops, as well as a Walmart and La Europea liquor store.
Rooms
The bare minimum for a budget price, where the blinds are better left down
The Comfort
Inn Aeropuerto Cancun has 65 Standard Rooms, with most of them featuring two
double beds and seven featuring king-size beds. The rooms
are simply furnished with dark-wood desks and cream-and-orange walls and matching
bedspreads. Bathrooms are functional, with basic tile showers, and individual packets of soap, shampoo, and conditioner.There are
reports from guests that the walls are paper-thin, allowing you to hear fellow
visitors in adjacent quarters, and the air-conditioning units can be noisy. The
views out the side windows are either billboards or warehouse buildings and loading
docks. Amenities
include coffeemakers, hairdryers, in-room safes, and flat-screen TVs with
basic cable.
Features
A full-service restaurant, and a rooftop terrace with two hot tubs
The on-site
restaurant serves a basic continental breakfast and coffee every morning from 7 a.m. until 11 a.m. (perhaps not starting early enough for those with morning flights). Lunch and dinner are served, with beer available after 11 a.m., but no wine or alcohol. There are two hot tubs on the roof, but they're not always heated. There are roughly 25 underground parking spaces for guests. However, the
parking garage should be used with caution: The ramp down to the underground
area is positioned in such a way that you cannot simply drive back up. Instead,
it has a hairpin turn at the bottom which, while navigable on the way down,
requires one to literally parallel park along the wall at the bottom in order
to align your vehicle for the drive up and out. Staffers at reception are known to help
guests exit as it is a tricky turn.Airport
pickup is available 24 hours a day and included in the room price. The small business
center features three computers and a printer, and the auditorium can be booked
for school events, cocktail parties, or business meetings, and can fit up to 50 people. Wi-Fi is included throughout the building, as is air-conditioning.
