Friendly staff, great location and nice rooms, and lobby/environment. It was great to stay there to attend the Virgin Mary Guadalupe activities! They had hot chocolate and asopao very early !
Less noise. Acoustic soundproofing in the room to block out noise from the terrace and activity room

The staff super friendly and helpful. Hotel in great spot in front of the the town Plaza and in the middle of everything thats going around. Avoid rooms with Plaza view...you will not sleep if there are activities going on. From the music, car noise...to the blower and water hose street and Plaza cleaning between 4:30 and 6am... Parking is included. Room was not spotless and we never got hot water.
I stayed there because I had a medical procedure at San Lucas Hospital. I didn’t have time to walk around.
The staff was excellent and responded to our needs immediately.
Hotel stay was very good. Original room was changed due to the room # 125 not locking from the inside and had to be changed to another room # 121.. The Agent checked the door and gave us another room. She was very accommodating and we appreciated the service.
Great staff, very helpful. Thr property could use with a few minor renovations but nothing that affected our stay. Thank you!

Great location within the city historic center. Checkin was simple and easy. Old historic hotel feel and vibe. Nonetheless, room was a dirty with paint in the floor, dirty around door knobs, door frames and hairs in the bathroom. Shower head was corroded and made a mess of water all over the floor. AC cooled well the room but was very noisy (even with the fan in low speed). No blackouts in window so patio/street lights came through all night and sunlight early in the morning. Bed was comfy. With a bit of upkeep and upgrades this hotel would be a gem.
The building is one of the oldest hotel it is a beautiful hotel
Some rooms are newer. My gf had a newer room very well decorated and modern on the first floor and I was on the third floor and had balcony to the street view but no dark out drapes and in the mornings it was loud. My room was older set up like a motel stay shower tub was clean but oxidized. Very basic room. They have a bar but never ever open we were there 5 days. It is in the middle of everything very convenient and walkable

We had a nice view with a balcony overlooking the square (el Parque bomberos y la Catedral). The building is charming, especially from the outside, but the inside, especially the room was worn. The bathtub had paint chips coming off and floating (the water didn’t drain well when showering). The toilet was constantly running. The sink had issues too (general plumbing issues). We were surprised not to have access to coffee — a coffee pot in the room — though there was a great locally run mobile coffee stand that the hotel should promote. The AC worked really well. The staff were very nice and we discovered a locally owned boutique with great jewelry: Vonqiue (the owner is lovely).
It is a century building, but just a little modern.
Very convenient for several reasons as beach areas, restaurants, highways, and many others activities that you might be looking for you can just literally have access to a highway and get to any destination.
Staff gave the extra mile despite of the challenges brouby the blackout.

The carpet was so dirty and never vacuumed. The balcony had the best view but also extremely dirty. The bathroom needs a complete overhaul and the hot water was a hit or miss.
I would call this a boarding house. Good for 1 night . Its clean and we’ll kept. However the bathrooms are closets converted into a bathroom. Sitting on the toilet you will find your knees under the sink!! Additionally, most rooms overlook a courtyard which is noisy 24/7 .. so if you’re looking for quiet.. this place isn’t it. Parking on-site is first come first serve so not guaranteed!!
