Check in great, staff was wonderful, room was ok, biggest thing for me was the aweful
Smell we had from the bathroom, make aure to put water in the drains to avoid this, be prepared for the loud cars and the muaic from the area places, you can hear them but over all it was a good stay, I would stay here again prepared for the items I stated.

We really enjoyed the traditional Mexican style of this hotel. The garden room was lovely with a terrace opening out to a beautiful green space. It felt very luxurious breakfast was included with our room. The plaza is right across the street. The town is very walkable. We would definitely come back.

Hidden Gem in Downtown Chapala
From Dahia, Erica the Assistant & Housekeeping, Vero to meeting GM Ivan, I love this place. Accommodations & amenities were well done!
I enjoyed eating complimentary basic breakfast outdoors on the terrace garden patio & discovered the hidden Buddha set back in the garden. How beautiful and amazing!
