Great Hotel in Historic Area
This is an excellent choice for a stay in the CENTRO historico. The staff was great and very responsive to our needs and requests. The pillows were uncomfortable for my neck and there was no option to get something that worked better for me. I asked but received no options. The other minor issue was the bathroom sink, which drained slowly. We reported this as well but it was still drains slowly when we left. It is a very old hotel but is in really nice condition. We will definitely stay here again, the next time we are in Guadalajara!

House Keeping
Suzy from house cleaning was amazing, my wife suffered a stroke and she immediately assisted by getting us a cab getting my wife to the closests hospital. She secured our rooms and made sure our rooms were well taken care as well. We cant thank her enough for everything she did to assist us.

Historic Hotel, old-fashioned service.
The hotel is beautiful. Service was on point. I found the pillows a bit hard and the door to our balcony did not lock, however we were up sufficiently high it did not pose a security concern. The breakfast buffet had many great options. The pool was absolutely lovely.

Beautuful Histroric Hotel
Wonderful hotel right in the heart of Guadalajara, walking distance to the main square in Centro and many resturants and sights to see and explore. Hotel had a great breakfast and was nice to have a refreshing dip in the rooftop pool after a full day of activities.

Four Nights in GDL
I really liked the hotel, but our room had white lights so it made the room feel very industrial and office-like. The pillows were also uncomfortable and very large so my neck was hurting through the night.
The shower also filled up with water so it was gross with so much water sloshing around.
I also did not enjoy the buffet downstairs. The coffee was pretty bad. Some of the food was good but I didn’t love the salsa rojo.
Maybe if we had a different room, we would have a better experience, but I thought the hotel room was just okay.
