Looks were deceiving

This hotel was prettier in pictures versus in person. The hotel lobby was beautiful while the rooms… not so great.The room had a horrible smell as well as plumbing and air conditioning issues. We ended up checking out the following day.

We arrived 3 hours early and the wonderful staff allowed us to check in with a complimentary room upgrade, complimentary valet parking, 10% off at the bar/restaurant and breakfast buffet! Wow! This is a beautiful colonial hotel that is centrally located in the heart of Guadalajara. The entire staff is amazing. This was quite possibly one of my favorite hotels in the world 🌎 Do not hesitate to book here. Thank you.

En general muy buena comodidad y limpieza en las habitaciones, el desayuno está bueno. Puntos negativos: 1. no funcionaba uno de dos elevadores. 2. En el desayuno solo atiende 1 persona en la barra caliente, que es limitativo y lento si uno desea comer quesadillas o huevos. Pero son puntos mínimos, en general, es buen hotel.
