I always enjoy this hotel. This time I happen to come to the city of Guadalajara because of an emergency and I got a great deal on a one night stay. Great service as always. If there’s one bad thing about this property is that the blocks just south could feel a little shady at times.

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.

Bittersweet Stay

AC started making a humming noise around 11pm, and broke down in the middle of the night, dripping water right above the bathroom door making the floor very wet, which my daughter slipped and almost fell, we had to change rooms around 3:20 am which was very inconvenient, therefore we did not sleep at all that night. Being that my daughter is diabetic, her sleep is very important for her well being. -But I gotta say, the housekeeping ladies, specially Suzy, were very nice and cleaned our room very well. The breakfast was delicious.

Great hotel

Great location and hotel. Daily breakfast was includes and the lady at the egg station who made our omelettes was amazing. I didn’t get her name but a top notch employee! Rest of the staff were great too but she definitely stood out.
