This is an amazing hotel! My daughter and I spent our few days in Chapala in its garden and on the lakefront. Never have I found it so difficult to leave. The facility is world class, the staff is attentive and kind, and breakfast is high end restaurant quality. That garden is something which will haunt me forever. If you visit the lake and fail to stay here, you messed up. Now I go back to Wisconsin crying.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Room was very clean, and I loved that it had A/C because we stayed in May it was hot outside. Slept very comfortably because the A/C was very fresh. Took a shower, loved that the shower had a lot of water pressure. Staff was very very friendly while we were checking in it was hot outside they offered cold water and gave my husband a cold beer. Only thing is I booked on Expedia.com paid for the room, but apparently you can’t pay thru Expedia.com only in person. They were nice enough to let me log onto my credit card that I used to book the hotel, yes they were right it didn’t take my payment. So be aware you can only pay at the hotel. I would definitely stay there again. Great location very close walk to the pier, shopping and restaurants. Loved it

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
The room at the hotel didn't have a window, it was a dark and stuffie. I asked the receptionist if I could have a room with a window and she replied that it would cost me more and if i wanted to update it, I had to reach out Expedia to cancel the reservation. For a minimal change, it seems to me that it was a bureaucratic process--- to change the status of my room. Additionally, visits are not allow by hotel's policies--- that was quite antiquated. I ended up checking out two hours later. The front desk told that they could do the charge without reaching Expedia but i declined politely. I absolutely don't recommend this hotel...if i were the owner of the hotel, I wouldn't be selling a windowsless room.

Lo que nos gustó fue la cercanía a los lugares que necesitábamos ir a visitar, el desayuno y servicio, el patio con área verde, el trato de uno de ellos en la recepción excelente se sienta al lado de la habitación 3 justo saliendo a lado derecho. lo que no nos gustó es que no hay estacionamiento, tiene que ser en otro lado en un lote que el costo lo cubren el hotel pero no es cerca de la propiedad, no nos gustó que el cuarto que nos asignaron número 3, estuviera al lado de la recepción, estamos a la vista de todos los que te ven salir del cuarto, tampoco nos gustó la cama, es dura y pequeña para una pareja.

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.
