8/10 Very good

This is actually a great hotel to stay in with quick access to restaurants and lake. We had a room facing the street which had some great nostalgic windows which you will not find in other hotels. We were there during the fiesta's which was a bit loud, but the experience and design of the interior space really is something different and gives you an old-world charm. Breakfast was good and staff were very friendly. This is a small hotel, and I believe offers 11 rooms total with different layouts depending on your needs. They have security doors which have key access only to enter hotel once it approaches nighttime which is a plus.

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!
