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!

Room was very clean, and I loved that it had A/C because we stayed in May it was hot outside. Slept very comfortably because the A/C was very fresh. Took a shower, loved that the shower had a lot of water pressure. Staff was very very friendly while we were checking in it was hot outside they offered cold water and gave my husband a cold beer. Only thing is I booked on Expedia.com paid for the room, but apparently you can’t pay thru Expedia.com only in person. They were nice enough to let me log onto my credit card that I used to book the hotel, yes they were right it didn’t take my payment. So be aware you can only pay at the hotel. I would definitely stay there again. Great location very close walk to the pier, shopping and restaurants. Loved it
