While many tourists flock to the hotel chains and all-inclusive resorts of the northern hotel zone, deal-seekers or simply folks on a budget may want to stick to the more economical Zona Romántica. The neighborhood, located south of the river and therefore relatively isolated from the bustling center, is characterized by picturesque family-run inns and intimate hotels sitting on the area's signature cobblestone streets. For the cheapest digs head to Calle Madero; located conveniently just one block from the river, this street also leads right down to the beach!
