My family and I recently stayed at this charming hotel and we were thoroughly impressed. From the moment we arrived, the customer service was excellent—every staff member was friendly, attentive, and genuinely eager to make our stay comfortable. The free breakfast was amazing and delicious. I recommend the chilaquiles and their pancakes. The hotel itself had a warm, inviting atmosphere with thoughtful touches that made it feel special and unique. One of the best parts of this hotel is its prime location—just a short walk to local stores, restaurants, and shops, and incredibly close to El Malecón, making it easy to enjoy everything the area has to offer. Highly recommend this spot for anyone looking for comfort, convenience, and a touch of charm! Muchas gracias a Santiago, who treated us like family when we were there.

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.
