Colonial and Historic Building, which was built in the 19th century. It is located three blocks away from the Metropolitan Cathedral.

This is a solid three and a half star property. Staff is excellent. They spoke fluent English and seemed supportive of less than fluent Spanish. Dining room faire is very good for breakfast but not good for supper. Location has its pluses and minuses. This part of the city is congested but near to places to see and do, There is a convenience/pantry store 1/2 block away and another one 2 blocks away, Roof-top patio is nice. Free internet off the lobby is a big plus as well as good wifi signal in the lobby area.

My family and I stayed at this hotel for 3-nights, we didn't do a lot of sight see because we were with family members, that live in mexico, most of the time. The rooms were very clean and modern, the hotel itself is old but was renovated about 3 years ago. Beautiful inside don't get disapointed when you see it from the outside driving to the hotel. Great location, walking distance to sightseeing. Great tacos across the street! Well worth the price.

I stayed at the suite with a jacuzzi because I wanted to experience the hotel at its best. As I arrived the staff greeted me promptly and courteously. I was escorted to a goregeous spacious room that was adorned with beautiful antiques such as an old-fashioned turn table with its own record sitting on top ready to be played (I dared not touch it). The bathroom had a private jacuzzi and a separate shower and a separate toilet with double sink and large mirrors. It also had a very spacious closet with a safe! I especially liked that my room had three balconies overlooking the two main streets where I could enjoy the horse carriages and the people at the plaza caddy-corner to the hotel. The bed was king size and though too firm for my taste, I selpt and over-slept like a baby. One thing I do have to complain about, though I hate doing so, is the service of the staff. I asked for coffee two days in a row because they could never seem to bring me what I wanted. For some reason they thought I drank decaff. My room was cleaned daily but the maid forgot to restock my utilities daily. I figure if I pay daily I should be re-stocked daily. They also took hours to bring me my coffe so I'd order it a day before and still I had to go to the front desk personally. The elevator was not functioning the first two days and that was a drag! Plus, on my second day they started filming a tv interview in the lobby and guests were not allowed to pass! Nevertheless, I'd stay there again...

Stayed here i July 2009 and it was perfect. I have stayed all over Guadalajara and now have finally found the one hotel I will continue to stay at. I don't like the little card in the room that says they check that all towels are accounted for ( a little cheesie) but everything else was very nice. Stayed on the second floor and at about 11:00pm if you look out the window you can see all the hookers but they are gone during the day. This hotel is right in the middle of the historic zone with all the old churches and buildings, nice restaurants and friendly people. Don't let the hooker thing keep you from staying here. I will go back often. Bring a clock---don't have one in the room.

I STAYED IN THIS HOTEL BACK IN JANUARY 2009 FOR 6 NIGHTS, THE EXPERIENCE WAS AMAZING, IT IS RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF EVERYTHING AND THE STAFF IS VERY WELL TRAINED & PROFESSIONAL. WHEN WE ARRIVED I WAS AMAZED BY HOW BEAUTIFUL THIS HOTEL IS FROM INSIDE. IT HAS ALL BEEN REMODELED, THE BEDS ARE COMFORTABLE AND THE ROOMS ARE VERY SPACIOUS & LUXURIOUS. THE HOTEL LOOKS A LOT BETTER IN PERSON THEN IN PICTURES. THE OUTSIDE DOES NOT LOOK ANYTHING TO HOW IT IS FROM WITHIN. THERE IS ALSO A TACO PLACE RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET IN THE CORNER WHICH WAS DELICIOUS AND VERY CHEAP!! I WOULD DEFINETLY STAY HERE AGAIN WITHOUT A DOUBT. IT IS VERY INEXPENSIVE & A BEAUTIFUL HOTEL. I PERSONALLY FEEL THIS HOTEL DESERVES TO BE A 5 STAR HOTEL.

The Hotel Morales was more than we bargained for. Awesome staff, great location, close to everything-shops, museums, etc. Their breakfast buffet is the best! The rooms were nice, very clean, huge showers. Very pretty hotel overall. We liked it so much, we went back to that hotel at the end of our trip. Definitely would recommend to anyone.
