Excellent stay/value in Centro
A great location! Historic hotel that seems fresh and updated while maintaining its roots. Security is fantastic. Breakfast buffet is super nice and goes from 7-12 noon. I didn’t make it to the pool but looks nice. Lots of great mom and pop restaurants across the street. Noise levels were negligible during my visit. Front desk staff outstanding at every interaction with special shout out to Noah for seamless check-in process.

Beautuful Histroric Hotel
Wonderful hotel right in the heart of Guadalajara, walking distance to the main square in Centro and many resturants and sights to see and explore. Hotel had a great breakfast and was nice to have a refreshing dip in the rooftop pool after a full day of activities.
