8/10 Good
"Hotel Morales is a real gem in the heart of Guadalajara. It is in the perfect location as it is close to all the main attractions of downtown and even a short walk to the major craft market. The breakfast was delicious and had a wide variety of options in including fruit, meats, bread and made to order eggs. The hotel itself is beautiful with great details and an inviting atmosphere. The room was spotless and well designed. My only complaint in there, was that the bed was too firm and so were the pillows, thus I did not sleep as I wished. I would also like suggest that they put some more water in the fish pond and add some aquatic plants. Other than that they have done a great job at creating a welcoming atmosphere for guests. Don't hesitate to stay at this hotel."
