I was a female US citizen traveling alone. I got woken up by Immigration officials, 5 of them, pounding on my hotel room door at 2:00 am demanding to see my identification. I gave them my passport and asked what was going on and their were leader said that they were checking immigration, status of hotel guests. I said at this hour? He said yes at this hour. I then thought to mention that I am a permanent resident and he asked to see that card too. So I gave it to him. Then he was asking a lot of questions about my travel, why had I gone to Mexico City a few times (reading stamps in passport), what’s the purpose of this current trip? Where do I live? And he wanted A LOT of detail about every answer I gave. Apparently everything I said, satisfied him and his friends, because he went away, but I did see them checking other rooms while they were talking to me. That was kind of scary. I wonder if they are just checking everyone at the hotel or if they are looking for someone in particular? It was definitely immigration officials. They had uniforms indicating so. They were ALL business. The desk clerk on duty the next morning had no explanation.
Furthermore, the stated charge for the buffet breakfast was 150 pesos, and they tried to shake me down for 275.
