Increíble. Bellísimo, la noche cuesta 700 pesos. La mujer que atiende es muy amable. No aceptan tarjeta, solo efectivo. Pedir cobijas extra por que en la noche hace frio y la recepción queda vacía.

Excelente lugar y muy bien ubicado. Los cuartos muy bonitos y limpios. Los señores que atienden muy amables. La puerta de la entrada general la cierran a cierta hora, pero te entregan llave para que ingreses.

Me encanto el lugar. A 1 cuadra del centro. Y desayuno incluido. Habitaciones amplias y muy comodas. Y lo mejor pude entrar con mi mascota pequeña. A diferencia de otros lugares q no lo permitieron.

I arrived one afternoon to the hotel without a reservation, the owner was leaving for the weekend, but gave me the keys to the hotel and let me stay there. Beautiful town and people.

La ubicación es excelente ya que está a 1 cuadra del centro, la habitación impecable y bastante cómoda, los dueños muy amables en todo momento y el costo del hospedaje bastante accesible. Un hotel muy recomendable para hospedarse.

A nuestra llegada fue la primera mala impresión, la recepcionista que es una persona mayor de edad nos trató de manera cortante Y cayó en lo déspota, cómo ya no teníamos más opciones de hospedaje cerca del centro por eso tomamos la habitación qué al solicitar que nos la mostraran de manera tajante nos dijo “NO” El hotel no tiene una fachada bonita pero por dentro tiene detalles hermosos que lo hacen acogedor y único, las plantas que adornan los espacios te hacen sentir como en la casa de la abuela. La habitación aunque es pequeña tiene toques especiales qué te hacen sentir cómodo y en casa al entrar, la cama es matrimonial y el colchón es un poco duro para mi gusto estuvo excelente pero mi esposa no está muy de acuerdo conmigo, el baño también tiene detalles que agradan muy al estilo rústico pero tiene un detalle: el área de la regadera no tiene puerta y al bañarte el agua llega hasta la recámara, a pesar de todo esto creemos que es una opción buena a una cuadra del templo principal y aprecio justo $800 sobre todo por la temporada de vacaciones. Toma en cuenta que el hotel no cuenta con estacionamiento pero otro punto muy bueno es que la limpieza es impecable. Cómo siempre recomendamos llevar un multi contacto pequeño por qué no hay donde conectar simultáneamente varios aparatos eléctricos.
