Both my wife and I think the staff working Garlands del Rio Riverside Boutique Hotel were great: very friendly, helpful, and generous with their time and knowledge. The location was great: near many areas we were interested visiting; close to transport options; in a friendly neighbourhood; yet, far enough away from crazy, tourist-laden parts of PV.

The workers are so sweet and helpful in everything. The place is old and I did get bit by bugs at night and broke out pretty bad. Even saw a lizard in my room. Outside of that, it’s affordable with everything easily nearby. Super safe. Locals are so kind. Love Mexico and Garlands Del Rio and their angelic cats whom they’ve adopted and take care of inside the hotel.
