C&F rather?

Unless there's a valid linguistic reason for the H, I'll wager that the
hotel got a deal on an overrun of fixtures made for El Norte.

I'd like to believe that the fixtures market in Mexico is large enough to
support products labeled in the native tongue.

Then again, it could be just the guest-hostile school of hotel management...
