We had a chitty room on the 3rd floor, unlike the original charming 2nd. and 3rd floor rooms. Both over-priced and well-worn!

We honestly opted to move to another hotel without complaining. There is the process of remodeling and I hope once it’s completed there will no longer be issues with the AC. This is not a reflection of the staff as they tried to make us feel comfortable

Property is very old but that’s part of its charm. Not sure I liked the fact that we didn’t have a window in our room. A window could be needed for emergencies and to let in fresh air. Room was stuffy

The water and electricity cut off on the middle of the night around 9pm and didn’t turn on until 2am luckily we needed to go to sleep to catch a flight. The staff is very accommodating The only elevator doesn’t work and the 3rd floor is very loud with AC noises and cathedral bells every hour. This is the oldest hotel in Guadalajara and it shows.
