El hotel tiene un estilo colonial mexicano encantador, con un personal increíblemente amable y una limpieza impecable. La decoración está hecha con buen gusto, creando un ambiente acogedor. Como propietario de una agencia de viajes, elegí este hotel para las vacaciones navideñas de mi familia y nos pareció extremadamente cómodo. Nos encantó saber que el hotel está nominado como el mejor hotel en pueblos mágicos de México y lo apoyamos de todo corazón. ¡Nuestra estadía fue realmente encantadora!

El hotel goza de una ubicación céntrica privilegiada, cerca de la iglesia principal y de los paseos peatonales. Las habitaciones ofrecen un amplio espacio y limpieza, manteniendo un encanto rústico a la vez que ofrecen comodidades modernas. Los huéspedes pueden disfrutar de deliciosas comidas en el excelente restaurante, donde el atento servicio de los camareros es excepcional. Además, el jardín añade encanto al hotel con su agradable ambiente.

Es un hotel muy limpio, cómodo y seguro. Está ubicado muy cerca de las calles del centro, rodeado de muchas opciones para comer y bares. El desayuno fue excelente y por las noches el ambiente se vuelve romántico con la luz de las velas y una fogata.
