Beautiful hotel in a colonial building in downtown Guadalajara. The hotel is clean, well-maintained, and the area feels safe. There is a heated pool on the roof and the staff are friendly. The hotel is close to main attractions and many restaurants. I would stay here again next time I visit Guadalajara.

The hotel was very nice and comfortable. It was in a great location, I enjoyed the tacos across the street. Breakfast In the hotel was ok, it was a bit busy where only one lady was making omlettes. The bar was a bit small and lonely it should be connected to the pool table section. Overall, it was a great stay.
