Wonderful hotel right in the heart of Guadalajara, walking distance to the main square in Centro and many resturants and sights to see and explore. Hotel had a great breakfast and was nice to have a refreshing dip in the rooftop pool after a full day of activities.

Perfect historic hotel!
The hotel is very lovely reminds me of a historic hacienda, beautifully decorated, the staff were all amazing, food was good, and the area was safe. The staff recommended a Tequila tour, it was great, and we had fun! Thank you!

This is a lovely hotel that is a 5-minute walk from the historic plaza. The Pool is open to the air and comfortable. The food is excellent, and the indoor courtyards are magnificent.

Historic Hotel, old-fashioned service.
The hotel is beautiful. Service was on point. I found the pillows a bit hard and the door to our balcony did not lock, however we were up sufficiently high it did not pose a security concern. The breakfast buffet had many great options. The pool was absolutely lovely.

Suzy from house cleaning was amazing, my wife suffered a stroke and she immediately assisted by getting us a cab getting my wife to the closests hospital. She secured our rooms and made sure our rooms were well taken care as well. We cant thank her enough for everything she did to assist us.

Give Hotel Morales a chance!
I've stayed in many hotels across Mexico, and abroad, from Poland to Canada, and Hotel Morales has to be the best in class, all around. Quiet, accessible, beautiful, well-staffed, and didn't kill my budget. When I come back to Guadalajara, I will be staying here!

Historic beauty in heart of old town
Beautiful hotel in the old area. Walking distance to many sites and restaurants. The hotel itself is iconic and gorgeous! The service staff are very friendly and attentive. The only con for us was the bed was too hard and only queen size other than that exactly what we wanted!

Great hotel
Great location and hotel. Daily breakfast was includes and the lady at the egg station who made our omelettes was amazing. I didn’t get her name but a top notch employee! Rest of the staff were great too but she definitely stood out.
