For a mere 410 pesos ($20 each for a 2-double bed room), Hotel Alux was an amazing deal. We booked it because it is one block from the bus station and we had to be on a 4:30 a.m. shuttle to the airport the next morning.
Our room (#408) at Hotel Alux was basic but was very clean, had a great bathroom, was air-conditioned and, while all of the other budget hotels in the area had doubled their prices for Christmas, was worth every peso.
Yes, it's in downtown Cancun so it's not silent and it is definitely no-frills for those expecting anything more than a place to wash up and rest their heads.
But for the budget-conscious traveler who won't be spending much time in their room, but maybe doing daytrips in the area (again, that hub-bus-station is around the corner), this would be a great option for an entire stay – the local bus to the beaches is 65 pesos. I would stay here again.
My only warning would be that for those with mobility issues, the hotel has stairs only and our room was on the 4th floor.
