Crisol - Frente a la Parroquia de San Miguel Arcángel
The room smelled like humidity, no elevator so it is hard to move your luggage (staff helped to carry it, though)

Hacienda El Santuario San Miguel de Allende
Gorgeous boutique hotel in the center of town. We loved the room and the picture postcard setting. Parque Benito Juarez is a 2 minute walk, while the central church is a 5 minute walk. Would highly recommend.
