The Zar is a budget hotel and as such, understandably, there are few amenities other than a bottle of water for each guest. The rooms were clean and spacious allowing us room for two kennels for each of our dogs. All the staff encountered were friendly and accommodating. The hotel could do with a couple of luggage dolleys, but the receptionist offered to help bring in luggage for us. A special bonus with this hotel was area behind the hotel offered a fenced in green space which our dogs enjoyed, but I hope other dog owning guests staying here are courteous and clean up after their dogs.

Wonderful surprise!

Our only disappointment was that there was construction occurring (non intrusive) and we had just left the renovations at our home. The service and room were great. Clean, spacious room, excellent bed, quiet and pet friendly, we were pleasantly surprised for the price. This will be a returning spot when we are on that side of Guadalajara!

Great A/C. It is located near by a train rail, so every 2-3 hours a train goes by. Not good for light sleepers.

Horrible.

The room was filthy. No hot water for a shower in the evening. Asked for an extra blanket for the night and was told that it was not possible.

Los baños tienen acumulación de sarro, mejorar este punto mejora totalmente la experiencia. Hay un tema con el tren que pasa atrás es ruidoso 6 mueve toda la habitación en la madrugada. Fuera de eso el lugar es muy cercano para evitar el tráfico si vas al parque industrial

El Hotel exelente, asi cmo la limpieza y el personal, el unico incoveniente, fue el ruido, no se si no hay normas sobre eso, pero habia gente con jovenes y niños, gritando muy fuerte despues de las 11 de la noche en los pasillos de las habitaciones y no pude dormir hasta pasada la media noche, salvo esa recomendación para el hotel todo exelente

Personal con pésima actitud, nos hizo esperar media hora en lo que hacía su conversión de tarifa porque veníamos de parte de hoteles.com. Tomar en cuenta que pasa el tren y hay muchísimo ruido en la noche. Parece mas bien motel de paso.
