Locally owned hotel and it’s a beautiful property! It’s in the downtown area and it is at the perfect level for everything nearby (other places are really steep). Hotel was helpful with helping me navigate parking. Make sure to go upstairs to the terraza at some point!

Fascinating building in great location

Wonderful, labyrinthine building in the Historic Center, steps from the Museo Casa Diego Rivera. The breakfast was exceptional and the service was attentive and professional. Our only complaint was that the room was not air conditioned and the open window brought in a lot of traffic noise. Ask for a room away from the street and you'll be fine. [To be fair, we were offered an interior room and chose this one, so it's on us.]
