Chihuahua's HOTTEST Extended Suites: La Juventud Luxury Awaits!
Okay, buckle up buttercups, 'cause we're diving headfirst into Chihuahua's HOTTEST Extended Suites: La Juventud Luxury Awaits! – or at least, that's what the brochure says. Let's see if it lives up to the hype. I've stayed in places that promised the moon and delivered… well, dust bunnies. This time, I'm ready for a real rollercoaster. So, let's get this review thing started… deep breath
First Impressions & Accessibility: The Good, The "Meh," and The "Oh Dear"
Right off the bat, "La Juventud" isn't exactly la juventud for my aching back. Finding the place was like some kind of modern-day treasure hunt… but hey, at least the car park [free of charge] was a welcome sight! Parking in this city isn't always a picnic.
Accessibility is always a big one for me. They say they have Facilities for disabled guests, which is great. But how good are these facilities? That's the million-dollar question, right? I wasn't exactly pushing a wheelchair, but I did notice the Elevator, which is definitely a plus. I'm always wary of "accessible" meaning "ramps, maybe," but so far, it seemed… decently thought out.
Internet Access: Living in the 21st Century! (Mostly)
Okay, internet. HUGE deal for me. I'm a digital nomad, a writer, a chronic cat-video-watcher… I need the internet. The promise of Free Wi-Fi in all rooms! and Internet access – wireless gave me a little jump for joy. And, praise the Wi-Fi gods, it mostly worked! It wasn’t lightning-fast, and the Internet [LAN] option felt, uh, ancient. But I managed to stream my favorite shows, and hey, that’s a win in my book.
Cleanliness & Safety: Germaphobe's Paradise? (Maybe)
Let’s talk pandemic times, shall we? La Juventud seems to take things seriously. They touted Anti-viral cleaning products, Daily disinfection in common areas, and a whole host of protocols. Seeing the Staff trained in safety protocol was reassuring. I also noticed Hand sanitizer stations all over the place. Though, let me tell you, seeing them clean the tables Daily disinfection in common areas gave me peace of mind. They even had that Sanitized kitchen and tableware items. But, as I always say, don't trust everything and cross-check.
They also had Room sanitization opt-out available, which is a good touch. So, if you're super paranoid, you can skip the cleaning service. The Rooms sanitized between stays definitely helps too.
Dining, Drinking, & Snacking: Foodie Adventures? (Potentially)
Ah, food. My other true love. La Juventud offered a pretty decent spread. Restaurants were plentiful, boasting a Breakfast [buffet], Breakfast service, and Coffee/tea in restaurant. I'm always a buffet person!
But, here's where things got a little… weird. The Asian cuisine in restaurant was actually pretty impressive, the flavors were bold and aromatic. The Western cuisine in restaurant, however, felt bland. Like, it needed a serious kick in the pants. The Desserts in restaurant were nice, but the Soup in restaurant was only okay…
I’m not saying it was bad, just… uneven. If you're a fan of variety you'll be happy. But don't go expecting Michelin-level eats.
There’s a Poolside bar, which is a nice touch, and they have a Snack bar for those late-night munchies. And the Room service [24-hour]? Total lifesaver.
Things to Do & Ways to Relax: Spa-tastic or Spa-fail? (Mixed Bag)
Alright, let's talk relaxation. This is where La Juventud had some serious potential. Check it out: Body scrub, Body wrap, Fitness center, Foot bath, Gym/fitness, Massage, Pool with view, Sauna, Spa, Spa/sauna, Steamroom, Swimming pool, and Swimming pool [outdoor]. Whew!
I did spend a good amount of time at the Swimming pool [outdoor] and it was glorious. The view! The sun! Pure escapism. (Note: I still used sunscreen because I might be pale, but nobody likes a lobster!) The Pool with view was definitely a highlight. Definitely.
Now, the spa… well, it was a mixed bag. The Massage was good - not life-changing, but relaxing. The Steamroom wasn't as steamy as I like my steam, and the Sauna was similar.
The Fitness center? Basic, but functional. You could get a workout in.
The Rooms: Home Sweet… Extended Stay?
I got the Additional toilet, which was a practical plus. The Air conditioning cooled well, the Coffee/tea maker was crucial, and the Refrigerator was a savior. The Free Wi-Fi, like I said, was consistent. The Mini bar’s prices? Let’s just say they weren’t exactly budget-friendly.
The rooms are pretty well-appointed. The beds were comfy enough, there was enough space to move around, and the Blackout curtains were clutch for those long lie-ins. I mean, what could be wrong?
Services & Conveniences: The Little Things (That Matter)
La Juventud boasts a laundry list of services, from the standard to the more… unexpected. Daily housekeeping was prompt and efficient. Always a plus. Dry cleaning and Ironing service were available, which is good if you aren’t like me (I look like I’ve wrestled a washing machine).
I didn’t use the Babysitting service, but it’s nice to know it's there.
Getting Around: Navigating Chihuahua
They offer Airport transfer, which is always a good idea, especially when you're in a new city. Having a Car park [on-site] is a plus. They also have Taxi service and Valet parking.
My Crazy, Chaotic, Honest Verdict:
Okay, so, is La Juventud worth the hype? Honestly? It depends. If you're looking for a luxurious, flawless experience, you might be disappointed. But if you're looking for a comfortable, well-located extended stay, with a few nice perks – and you’re not expecting perfection – it could be perfect for you.
The vibe leans towards 'upscale business traveler' rather than 'party animal.'
Would I stay here again? Yeah, probably. For the price, the location, the generally good amenities, and the mostly reliable internet, it’s a solid choice.

Hefei's Hidden Gem: JI Hotel South Station - Unbeatable Luxury!
Okay, buckle up, buttercups, because this isn't your grandma's travel itinerary. This is more like… a panicked, caffeine-fueled descent into the beautiful, chaotic heart of Chihuahua, Mexico, with a healthy dose of me, unfiltered. We're talking Extended Suites Chihuahua La Juventud – our supposed base of operations – but honestly, I'm already picturing myself sprawled on the floor in a tequila-induced stupor, so let's just see how this goes.
(Day 1: Arrival, Disorientation, and the Quest for Decent Coffee)
- Morning (ish) - Arrival & Hotel Hysteria:
- Flight lands. Passport control. Bags found (phew!). Currency exchange… uh oh, did I actually convert enough pesos? This is always my Achilles heel.
- Taxi to Extended Suites. Okay, the hotel itself is… well, it's clean. I didn't expect the Ritz, but the lighting in the lobby is giving me flashbacks to a dentist's office. Seriously, can someone please install something less… sterile?
- Check-in. My Spanish is beyond rusty, it's more like… the Lost City of Atlantis. I managed to mumble something about a reservation and “Habitación por favor?” (Did I say that right? Probably not.) The poor receptionist just stared at me with a look that said, “Lady, you’re going to be trouble, aren't you?" I’m pretty sure I am.
- Room unlocked. Smells like… new paint? Good? Bad? Indifferent? Jury's still out. The important thing: is there coffee?
- Afternoon - Coffee Catastrophe & Initial Exploration:
- Discovered the in-room coffee maker. It's a… contraption. Let’s just say I can't seem to brew a decent cup of coffee to save my life. I’m pretty sure it's some kind of conspiracy against people who need caffeine to function.
- Rant: WHY can't hotels just get good coffee? Is it so hard? I swear, this is a major travel pet peeve of mine. I'd pay extra for decent coffee!
- Fine. Decided to venture out in search of a café. Walked around the neighborhood, feeling like a dazed tourist, hopelessly lost in the process. The streets are dusty, the buildings are colorful, and everywhere I look, I see life happening. And I love it.
- Found a small café. The locals were very kind and helpful, despite my horrible Spanish and the fact that I clearly was in the way. Coffee achieved! Victory!
- Walked back to the hotel, feeling slightly less like a zombie. Maybe this Chihuahua thing won't kill me after all.
- Evening - Dinner Fiasco & Early Retirement:
- Tried to find a restaurant that wasn't completely packed with tourists. Found one that seemed promising but the menu was completely in Spanish (of course). Pointed at random dishes. Prayed for the best.
- The food arrived. Let’s just say my culinary adventure turned out to be something else entirely. One dish was good. The other one wasn't. But hey, I ate it anyway.
- Back to the hotel. Exhausted. Jet lag starting to hit hard. Gave up and went to bed at 9 pm, vowing to conquer the coffee maker and find a truly great meal tomorrow.
(Day 2: The Art of the Wander, The Cathedral, and The Tequila-Induced Ramblings)
- Morning - Breakfast Blues and the Search for Color:
- Breakfast at the hotel. It was… included! Surprisingly decent buffet. Ate way too many mini-pastries.
- Ventured out again. This time, with a vague plan to visit the Catedral de Chihuahua.
- Afternoon - Catedral, History and the Soul:
- Made it the Catedral! Massive, imposing, beautiful. Sat there and just looked for a long time. I'm not even religious, but there's something about the history of the place. And that it's still standing strong, while all of my plans are going to hell. It's inspiring.
- Decided to take a walk in the neighborhood. So many colors and sounds, and the friendly people are everywhere. I was so caught up in the atmosphere I walked for an hour before I realized I was hopelessly lost.
- Anecdote:
- While lost, I ran into a little girl who decided she was going to be my tour guide! She spoke maybe three words of English, and I knew even less Spanish, but with a lot of hand gestures and laughter, she showed me her favorite spots. She kept pointing to a building and saying something that sounded like "casa color" (color house). When I asked her a question about what was special about the place, she started tugging on my sleeve and walking towards it. When we arrived, she gleefully shouted "¡HELADOS!" I just burst out laughing and bought her an ice cream (and one for myself!).
- It was one of the most perfect moments of the trip. A reminder of the simple beauty of the world.
- Evening - Tequila Tasting and Existential Crisis:
- Found a tequila bar! Gotta say, this is a pretty good plan.
- Went for tequila tasting. Seriously, let's just say I'm now feeling very existential.
- I’m getting philosophical about the meaning of life and whether I should try to learn Spanish and whether I should have ordered those extra tacos.
- Ramble:
- Tequila makes you think. It makes you feel. Is this what freedom should be? Just existing in the moment? Or is this just pure tequila-induced delusion?
- Should I write a novel? Should I become a painter? Should I just buy a small hacienda here and never go home?
- These are the deep thoughts brought to you by quality tequila.
- Back to the hotel. I'm pretty sure I’m giggling a little too much. And I think I need water. And a nap.
(Day 3: Museo, More Coffee, and Departure (Hopefully I Can Remember How to Pack)
- Morning - Culture & Coffee:
- Coffee! This time, I found a cafe that actually makes a decent cup of coffee.
- Off to the Museo Histórico de la Revolución, the Pancho Villa home museum!
- Afternoon - The Museum and The Thoughts…
- The museum was fascinating, and a little weird.
- I didn't understand Spanish. The tour guide spoke very fast. But it was still a great experience.
- Started overthinking about all the things while walking back to the hotel.
- Evening - Packing & Planning, plus saying Goodbye:
- Packing. Always a struggle. Trying to remember what I actually bought and if I need to check a bag.
- A final walk around the neighborhood. One last taco. One last moment to soak everything in.
- Thinking about the next trip, and wondering where I'll go next.
- Departure. Praying I make it through the airport.
Final Thoughts:
This trip was chaos. It was beautiful. It was messy. It was real. I had bad coffee, questionable food, and moments of utter confusion. But I also met amazing people, saw incredible things, and experienced a joy of life that I hadn't felt in a while. I'll be back to Chihuahua. And next time, I'll definitely bring my own coffee.
Wish me luck.

Okay, spill: What's the *actual* deal with "La Juventud Luxury Awaits?!" I mean, does it *actually* await? And is it… luxurious?
Alright, fine, you want the truth, the *whole* truth, and nothing but the truth? Here goes... "La Juventud Luxury Awaits!"… well, let’s just say my expectations were... high. I’d seen the photos. Gleaming marble, rooftop pool overlooking the *entire* city, champagne fountains (okay, I made that last one up). I envisioned myself, a glamorous globetrotter, lounging in some ridiculous robe, sipping something bubbly, pondering world peace.
The reality? Okay, the lobby actually *was* pretty swanky. Lots of shiny surfaces. And a REALLY impressive chandelier. But that first step into the room... Let me tell you, the "youth" part? Definitely not applicable to the air conditioner. It sounded like a tired robot trying to escape. Luxury? Well, the bed was comfy, I’ll give them that. And the toiletries? Generic, but smelled… vaguely of something pleasant. So, yeah. Luxurious in the, "My expectations were fueled by Instagram and my bank account is pleading for mercy" kind of way. But hey, the view from my (slightly dusty) window wasn't half bad!
And the best part? They advertised a "continental breakfast." Which, in my experience, usually means stale pastries and questionable coffee. But this time? They had a *chef* making fresh omelets! And the coffee? Actually good! So, maybe "La Juventud" is more "La Generous Breakfast and a Slightly Used Air Conditioner." Still… worth it, probably.
Rooftop pool! Did you actually swim in it, or was it like those Instagram pools that are perpetually “under maintenance?”
Oh, the pool. The *rooftop* pool. This is where my inner child got *wildly* excited. Rooftop pools are the epitome of cool, right? Like, you're *officially* living your best life. I packed my cutest swimsuit. I envisioned myself doing elegant laps while simultaneously making everyone on the street *incredibly* jealous.
Well… the water *was* there. And it was, technically, a pool. But the "rooftop" part? More like, "rooftop with a slightly underwhelming view." I swear I saw a pigeon nesting nearby. And the loungers? A tad… weather-worn. One of them had a slight wobble that nearly sent me tumbling into the chlorinated abyss. And there were *way* more people there than I anticipated. Seriously, I think I saw every single guest. So, I spent about 15 minutes awkwardly clinging to the edge, dodging splashing kids and contemplating the existential dread of public bathing. Decided to call it. Didn’t get any of those Instagram-worthy photos. (Sad face.) But hey, at least I got a tan… or maybe just a slightly lobster-y hue. The sun was HOT.
Let's talk location. Is it actually *in* the city, or is it one of those hotels that’s, like, three miles from everything and pretends it’s central?
Okay, location. This is where "La Juventud" kind of redeemed itself. I was genuinely surprised. It really *was* pretty central. Walking distance to… well, okay, not EVERYTHING. But definitely close to some amazing restaurants, the historic district, and the main plaza. Now, I’m not saying I walked EVERYWHERE. Chihuahua’s a big city. And my feet? Not prepared for the cobblestone streets.
I did take a taxi a few times, but it was always a quick and cheap ride. I’m talking, like, a few dollars cheap. Which, as a budget traveler, made me very happy. And the best part? The hotel staff was actually really helpful with directions and recommendations. They weren’t, like, aggressively pushing tours or anything. Just genuinely nice people who wanted to help me find the best tacos in town. (Which, by the way, were AMAZING. Seriously, go get tacos.) So, yeah, location? Pretty darn good. Thumbs up! Just, you know, wear comfortable shoes.
What about the staff? Were they helpful and friendly, or the kind that make you feel like you're inconveniencing them by, you know, existing?
Okay, this is important. The staff can make or break a hotel experience, right? And thankfully, the staff at La Juventud? They were… wonderful! Seriously, top notch. Always smiling, always helpful. I'm talking above and beyond helpful.
I remember one time, I was completely lost, wandering around trying to find a specific museum. And I mean, *utterly* lost. I walked into the hotel lobby, looking like a lost puppy. And one of the staff members, a lovely woman named Maria, saw my face, immediately asked if I was okay and not only gave me directions but actually drew me a map, complete with little landmarks! And remembered me on the 2nd and 3rd days of my stay. And asked if I needed anything. Honestly, I was almost tempted to give her a hug. They really made an effort to make me feel welcome and looked after. A true example of hospitality. Even the cleaning staff were lovely and took the time to chat or ask after my day.
Was the Wi-Fi decent? Because let's be real, a bad Wi-Fi connection is a modern-day tragedy.
Oh, the Wi-Fi. This is a critical question. Because, let's be honest, in today's world, bad Wi-Fi is a personal affront. It's like a silent scream of, "Get off your phone!" (Well, maybe they have point, but I'm still not going to do it) Thankfully, the Wi-Fi at La Juventud was, for the most part, pretty solid. I was able to stream some Netflix (obviously), browse the internet, and, most importantly, upload those all-important Instagram photos of my slightly-lobster-y tan. There were a few moments of… minor buffering. But nothing catastrophic. Nothing that made me throw my laptop out the window. So, Wi-Fi? Acceptable. Not the fastest I've ever experienced, but definitely functional. And that's all I ask for. (And maybe some free snacks... just saying.)
What about the downsides? Anything that made you think, "Ugh, I should have stayed at the Motel 6?"
Okay, so, the "downsides." Alright, let's get real. There are always downsides, right? Even in "luxury" accommodations. Besides the slightly-tired air conditioner (which I'm beginning to suspect was a secret character), there were a couple of things.
Firstly, the noise. Being in a bustling city means… well, bustling! The walls weren't exactly soundproof. I heard the occasional car horn, barking dog (because, Chihuahua), and the joyful shouts of children playing in the street. Luckily, I brought earplugs, which savedSleep Stop Guide
