Can the Barcelo Hotel chain claim to be worldwide and quality too?

Yes, we had two very different experiences and when they don't treat handicapped guests with respect, I wash my hands of them. Good riddance to bad rubbish. There is NO character to that hotel. Take off your rose colored glasses.

I am currently among the handicapped. I got treated with respect, what was your problem?

Yes the Barcelo chain is worldwide, which you would know if you had looked.

It may not be on the same level as some chains, but for the price it is a very good deal.

Are you enjoying beating your head against the wall attempting to use logic? We happen to agree about older hotels with character and a class that cannot be achieved without history and taste. Just out of curiosity, I went and looked at photos of the Occidental (post rehab) and it certainly wouldn't be high on our list with its gaudy features that don't speak one bit to Mexico. I would put CasAntica in Oaxaca up for comparison any day. Certainly the building had a history since it was a convent back in the 16th century but I defy one to find a shortcoming due to its history.

It was unfair of you to use hotel examples where John has never been. Heck, he is still voicing opinions about current day San Miguel de Allende based upon an eight year old experience!

I speak for myself but this playing of the handicap card is getting really old!

Oh dear, so sorry, I was under the impression that John was a seasoned world traveler, and was accustomed to only the most prestigious hotels.
