I stayed here for 3 nights in a 484 sq ft junior suite. PROS: The hotel is in a good location a few minutes walk from Alameda Central and the Revolution Monument. There is an OXXO and Farmacia Guadalajara two minutes from the hotel, where you can buy snacks, drinks, and pastries. There is also plenty of street food nearby. The staff is friendly and polite, but I only met one staff member that spoke English. I speak Spanish, but if you don't, be prepared to use a translation app. I enjoyed having a kitchenette; utensils and cutlery were provided. Even though my room faced the street, there was very little street noise. I didn't hear noise from other guests either, even though the hotel was fully booked. There are outlets near the bed to charge your electronics. There was plenty of closet space. The bedroom window opened, allowing for fresh air. Lighting in the room was good. Shower was hot, and water pressure was strong. The ground floor lobby is spacious and modern, more so than the rest of the hotel. There is daily housekeeping, and it is excellent. CONS: When I arrived in my Uber, there were 3 homeless men lying on the sidewalk in front of the hotel. There is no sign on the building, and you can't tell it is a hotel. There was construction on both sides of the street, and dust was everywhere. If you walk to the top of the short street on which the hotel is located and turn left, you will see ladies of the evening about a block away. Turn right, and you will be at Alameda Central in a couple minutes. The hotel is old, and the furniture is shabby. The bed is like a big cot -- it only had a mattress, no box spring. One of the two dinette chairs had a cushion with no cover, just a bare raggedy piece of foam. There was no full-length mirror in the room. There was an ironing board in the room, and an iron was available on request. Front desk is only open part-time, and completely closed on Sunday. There is, however, a security guard 24/7 who buzzes you in and out of the hotel, and operates the manual elevator. My initial impression of the hotel and surrounding area was rather negative. It has a seedy vibe. However, after the first day the place grew on me. Considering how cheap it was and the central location, I would stay there again.
