I'm sure lots of people will have lots to complain about but for the price I give it 5 stars.
Un hotel sencillo para el descanso y en relación con El precio está muy bien . Además bonita vista
La planta baja es una tienda muy bien surtida incluso con frutas y verduras - restaurante de hoy dogs con unas mesitas para sentarse y comer en el lugar.
Me ha sacado de tantos apuros. Este hotel ventajas imprescindibles y toda persona debería tener expectativas correspondientes a un hotel de 1 estrella, como bien mencionan. La ubicación es inmejorable (a 5 minutos caminando del Centro de Guadalajara, y a unas cuadras de la línea 3 del tren que conecta con el centro de Zapopan y Tlaquepaque, la Central de Autobuses, etc). Suelo dormir muy tranquilo y descansar cuando me he hospedado aquí. Nunca me ha tocado ver cucarachas ni chinches . Lo que sí suele haber es fugas de agua en los baños (mal por ellos); se me figura que este hotel ha estado intacto desde que lo construyeron, con toda la pinta de la década de muebles (colchones viejitos) y diseño setenteros, quizás desde el mundial México 70 (la Calzada Independencia lleva al Estadio Jalisco, donde llegó a jugar Brasil ). El agua tibia es suficiente para mí, sobre todo luego de llegar acalorado de las diligencias citadinas. Las habitaciones de la periferia suelen ser las más tranquilas y donde se descansa mejor. Siempre las he encontrado limpias. Otro plus es que incluso durante el caluroso mayo, no se calientan tanto. Precio en 2025: $220 por noche ($420 si son dos).
Muy a gusto y muy confortable todo !!!! Los felicito !!!
