About this property

Welcome to Hotel MARIELENA Cuatro Ciénegas

Hotel MARIELENA Cuatro Ciénegas offers a laid-back atmosphere with warm, air-conditioned rooms located in a historic building that once served as a military headquarters from the 1800s. The property features an informal restaurant and bar alongside an outdoor pool, providing simple but comfortable amenities such as free Wi-Fi, free parking, room service, and accessibility options. Families traveling with children will find the hotel accommodating with its kid-friendly environment and smoke-free policy.

Situated in the heart of Cuatro Ciénegas de Carranza’s Centro Histórico, the hotel is within walking distance of local attractions including Museo Venustiano Carranza and sits approximately 4 km from the Áreas de Protección de Flora y Fauna Cuatrociénegas park. Guests have access to nearby natural sites like Poza Azul and Los Arenales gypsum dunes, making it a suitable base for those interested in exploring the region’s distinctive desert landscape. The location also offers quick access to Federal Highway 30.

While the hotel is praised for its convenient central location and friendly, helpful staff, reviews note that the building has an older, rustic charm which some guests describe as in need of minor repairs or updates. The restaurant on-site receives positive comments for good flavor, though some find prices a bit high compared to other local dining options. Pool availability can be variable, and Wi-Fi quality has been mentioned as inconsistent by a few guests.

Hotel MARIELENA Cuatro Ciénegas may appeal most to travelers seeking an authentic, modestly styled stay with easy access to cultural and natural attractions nearby. Those prioritizing modern facilities or extensive business amenities might find alternatives more suitable. Still, the comfortable beds, professional service, and central location make it a practical choice for visitors exploring this historic desert town.

A bit rustic - old, could use some painting and repairs here and there (cracks in the walls) but overall recommendable.

I can not speak about the hotel but the restaurant was superb!!! It lacked the ability to make “WOW” hot but it was on point for flavor. I would recommend cortadello” Donua Toya”. Stop in and grab some!!! With the time and money!!!

We visit every few months & when available we stay here by choice for 8 years due to the fantastic location, restaurant on premises and friendly, professional staff. This is a very old feel of classy Mexico and I am very proud to take my friends specifically to this hotel & restaurant. If you are looking for a modern Hilton it’s not for you. Rather it’s very clean, nice place and comfy beds & rooms where you can take a break and relax in class. Pool is nice & secure parking. We ask the staff for anything and have never been disappointed nor have we felt anything but welcomed! The manager (fantastic manager) & one of the ladies speak good English and always help me if needed. You are in the plaza and can walk to stores, restaurants, doctor, church, ice cream shops, and more. I hope they never change the old feel of this hotel because it’s one place that keeps me coming back! A+ ~Erica

Just average, there was nothing either outstanding or bad to mention. Taking that into consideration, I would recommend it.

Came into Cuatrocienegas one Saturday night 2am , we luckily stumbled upon this stylish hotel. Price was 2300mx pesos . Which we felt was very well worth it. The staff recommended a few activities the next morning. Magical little town!

Friendly and helpful staff, clean and cute. Lots to like about this spot but Wi-Fi was spotty and pool wasn't open while we were there. Not a lot of options in the area so I'd assume this was the best.

Good deal for its price. The people are really nice and helpful. They helped us get a guide for a hike we wanted to do and overall always had a friendly face. The food in the restaurant is pretty good but a bit pricey. You can go to "el doc" for a better deal that is just as good.
