Nice economical option in the city center with classic Guadalajara architecture. The neighborhood is worn out, but relatively safe.

Great hotel
The location is great, next to Dos Templos plaza and a metro station.
The hotel is a beautiful older building.
The staff was friendly and helpful. The ladies who ran the breakfast buffet were really excellent.
