Greetings,

I have to admit that it's rather unnerving, but yes, police and military in Mexico still walk around with big weapons. In fact, with the increased efforts to fight against the drug trafficking, it's actually more common to see police and military. It's sort of weird for them to be around a hotel though, because in general they're not around tourist areas at all.
