The place is nice, it is in a perfect place, a bit removed from the center but the workers deliver the breakfast promptly
Nice hotel in the charming town of Arandas. The accommodations are basic but clean and comfortable. Staff was a bit shy but perhaps due to the language barrier. The bed was plenty comfortable.
Beautiful place, only one night spent here, room was small, no a/c, very clean and comfortable, food is great and overall we had a very decent experience.
Beautiful hotel, great service, friendly staff. I love it.
It has the feel of an upscale hotel, but at cheap prices. Maybe this has more to do with the peso/dollar exchange rate. For an american staying here, it is super nice.
