Great location
We stay here because of the Great location, but the room is outdated, very small room and the bathroom was extremely tight. If you’re tall your knees would most likely touch the sink, we had to squeeze to shower. Shower needed a good scrub and very low pressure with the hot water. The hot water was actually warm. Since we like the location we most likely be back but will stay in a bigger room

A Stay in a historic monument
The Hotel is a historical monument, so don't expect modern facilities. The attendant clerk seems very busy, so you'll have to wait most of the times to be attended. The suite was nice, only a few cons, the room was 2 bed, but only one warm blanket. this is winter season, so expect cold. called the clerk to get another warm blanket, it never arrived. The rooms are old, so expect some minor issues. Still has its beauty. Recommended mostly for guests who don't expect a modern accomodation.

Guadalajara stay
Hotel was nice but wouldn’t stay again. The hotel is located near some clubs and bars so there was loud music till about midnight. The elevator was nice but old and unreliable. The mattress was very hard but luckily with 4 large winter blankets provided by the hotel, It was bearable. The bathroom had open windows which let mosquitos in. I woke up with bites on my arms hands and face. I will say the place was clean. The staff was friendly and helped with my hard mattress solution. But there is a double tree and holiday in 2 blocks away. Should have stayed there.
