We loved the hotel itself but the bed and pillows could use an update. Also the ventilation in the room wasn't the best. It was a fantastic location, we loved the coffee and pool.

Magical
I do a lot of travelling and aside from the coffee in restaurant this is a standout hotel. The Colonial architecture is magical, it’s like Living in an apartment block . Basically a square donut with a table and chairs outside your room. Guadalajara is worth at least 3 days.

This old-style hotel is very nice for its age. We liked most of it except for the size of the beds. They were full-size and felt small for an average person. Also, the pillows were hard, and we woke up with a neck ache. On the plus side, the breakfast is fantastic, full of authentic Mexican dishes. The staff is very friendly, and they cook dishes to your liking, like omelets, chilaquiles, and pancakes. We enjoyed breakfast time! We will be back.

Hallways on the 4th floor were very dark. There is only one trash can in the room. There no one in the swimming pool to provide you with a towel you have to reach the front desk and they will bring it you. Most of the Staff was very friendly and made me feel right at home.

We always stay here when visiting Guadalajara and love the Moralas and surrounding area. This year we stayed in the newer section and did not like the room nearly as much. Bathroom lighting was terrible - even with both lights on. Room was much smaller than others we previously stayed in. It did have a very nice balcony despite the noise!!
