We enjoyed the location of the hotel in the center of town. It was a quiet location. The restaurant was gourmet in quality while still reasonable in price. Internet in our room was a little weak. If we sat outside our door it was fine.

The lobby area and patio was nice visibly, but their restaurant food wasn’t good. I stayed 4 nights and they never had Mexican bread (pan dulce) to accompany your coffee. I and my husband got really sick with a fever, chills, and food poisoning. I went to the front desk and told them and they replied that everyone gets sick when they visit that town. I had to go look for a pharmacy as they were very unhelpful and offered no support. Their concern was only to know if we ate elsewhere to blame the other restaurants. All their food is extremely condimented and everything has a sauce. I wasn’t impressed at all. The city is overrated. It dirty and most of the city has graffiti on all their homes. It didn’t feel safe at all.
