The…read morelobby was clean and stylish, and we were especially grateful to be allowed an early check-in since a room was available -- a thoughtful gesture that started our stay on a positive note. The room was serviced daily, which we appreciated; however, toiletries and teas were not replenished, which was a bit disappointing. One noticeable drawback was the front desk staff, who consistently avoided eye contact and never greeted guests when entering or exiting the lobby -- it made the atmosphere feel less hospitable than expected. Also worth noting: the hotel does not have a pool. If that's something important to you, be sure to check in advance. On a brighter note, the bed was exceptionally comfortable -- the mattress and pillows were truly dreamy. I haven't slept that well in a hotel, not even at The Ritz or Mandarin Oriental! As a brand marketed as a "sports lifestyle" hotel, they definitely deliver on providing great rest and recovery. Kudos to them for that!

Specifically, my room rate included mini-bar service, yet was never refilled during my stay. Addotionally, I was disappointted to find that the Mujeres Latina marichi group---one of the Hotel's primary entertainment highlights-- has been replaced by a lower-level performance mariachi. While the stuff members remain very professional and kind I belive these service and management decisions have negatively impacted the overall guest experience. Sincerely, Guiilermo Flores

They didn't charge me for my plate and service was really bad. Room is great and breakfast are amazing but dinner here I have to say not good at all.

I stayed at this hotel last weekend. The rooms are very nice and modern. Our first room was not…read moreproperly cleaned, the bathroom must have been missed during the clean up, there was stuff on the toilet seat. We went down stairs and the front desk switched us to a new room, no fuss. We went up to the rooftop bar, great views and great drinks. The food however was a different story. Everyone in my group had issues with the food we sent back some of the food, but it wasn't any better when it returned to the table. Needless to say we did not eat here again. If you stay here visit the bar for the views but avoid the food. Overpriced and very low quality. Lastly, the hotel lobby has no restroom!!! Almost everyday while waiting for our friends in the lobby we had to make the trip up to our room in the 5th floor to use the bathroom. The was such an inconvenience. The hotel is centrally located and there are many restaurants and places to see within walking distance. I personally will not stay here again.

I can see one night, but we were there three nights. Yes, we could had packed up and left for another room, but we were with a tour group for 19 days, and I had many items. The reading light is out in the side with the closet. Figuring out the a/c was interesting. It blew warm air one night. I worked the a/c the following day and was able to work it. No ice bucket. The TV has different apps, and it isn't that user-friendly. Be careful of the step up into the bathroom. I banged up my arm doing so. The location is good, only one good restaurant close by.

But I'm not going to lie, since I was on the top floor, I was able to see some of the other floors in bad shape, at least in the hallways, and nobody working on them to fix them. Located near the expo area, it's next to some restaurant chains, coffee shops and university, but at night time this area gets very "interesting" to say the least... hint: I would not recommend bringing your family here, maybe adults only is better (if you know what I mean). And when we left early in the morning to go to the airport, more "interesting" people in the oldest job in the world can be seen leaving the premises too, so again, avoid bringing your kids here if you don't want to explain what's happening here. The bed was very firm, so I didn't get much sleep. But I had a great view from my room, with large windows facing two different directions because of the corner room. I didn't touch the coffee machine because it look a little bit dusty :( I never asked but they have this President Club lounge, does anyone know who can or cannot go in there? Does it require any specific IHG level?

It is part of the luxurious Quinta Real brand, which often places their hotel properties in historical buildings. The Guadalajara property was actually built in 1986, but constructed as a traditional colonial-style hacienda on land once owned by the Martinez family. It has been described as an oasis, and that is a perfect impression. When you step inside, you're enclosed by high stone walls, reminiscent of a castle or palazzo, surrounded by lush gardens, birdsong, splashing fountains, antiques, and artwork by artists such as Sergio Bustamante. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner are served in and elegant indoor/outdoor restaurant. Everything is hushed and refined, in direct contrast with the noise and traffic just outside the doors. The very best part of the experience, however, was the impeccable, accommodating, and kind staff. We both felt so pampered, without any sort of stiffness. ours was a truly wonderful stay and we cannot recommend the Quinta Real enough.

Recently, I stayed three nights and found my Quinta Don Jose stay a wonderful place to be. My room was quiet, comfortable and nicely appointed with everything I needed. The refrigerator and water machine were especially nice. Of note, my room was across the street from the main building (I had to "buzz" in/out of the property which was fine.) Each morning, I enjoyed a delicious breakfast and maybe a drink or two at the bar (Charlie was so welcoming and friendly!) One night, I ate at the restaurant and had an excellent meal served by my new friend Carlos (he was so nice and attentive!) While the pool water was a bit chilly, I used it 2/3 days and enjoyed the beautiful courtyard - it was a great way to relax from the hustle and bustle beyond the hotel property. Love Quinta Don Jose, would definitely return! 5 stars

For the past few years, every time we return to our hometown in Jalisco, Mexico, we've made it a…read moretradition to explore different boutique hotels around the state--especially in Guadalajara. Quinta Don Jose Boutique Hotel has definitely become one of our favorites, and it's one we've chosen to stay at more than once. The ambiance is warm and welcoming, and the staff truly go out of their way to make every guest feel at home. It's that "home away from home" vibe that keeps bringing us back. The rooms are cozy, clean, and decorated in a charming, authentic style that reflects the culture and history of the region. While it's not a 5-star luxury resort, it offers comfort, character, and everything you need for a pleasant stay. The hotel itself is a beautifully converted old house, complete with an on-site restaurant and bar that serves delicious food and drinks. The complimentary continental breakfast is a highlight--fresh coffee, tea, and a traditional Mexican breakfast that hits the spot every time. One of the best parts is the location--just a short walk from Tlaquepaque Boulevard, making it easy to enjoy a relaxed afternoon or a lively evening in town. Quinta Don Jose will definitely remain on our go-to list. Since we travel back home often, we usually plan to stop in Guadalajara for a night of rest, and this boutique gem is the perfect place to do it.

We really appreciated the level of security to the rooms. The aesthetics of the Hilton are stunning. While the restaurants and bars inside weren't occupied when we passed by they were very inviting. Our room was a king room with all the amenities one would expect. The mini fridge was operational which is nice as that isn't always the case. The lighting didn't have any guesswork and the bathroom facilities including the shower head were all luxury level.

That festival is gorgeous madness, but at the end of the day, I so looked forward to walking through the Hilton's clear glass doors and feeling that calm wash over me. This hotel is wonderful, the best that I've found in Guadalajara. Check in was smooth, and the entire modern hotel is spotless and well-taken care of. Wi-Fi accessibility was flawless. I was there around Christmas, and really loved the enormous Christmas tree in the lobby, though the Gingerbread house could use some love ASAP; I didn't know it was possible for a gingerbread house to be sad, but here we are. My room was spotless and clean, although it could use a little more color in the decor; overall I think some love is needed to take these rooms from good to great. An update of the art, of the phones and of the TV would go a long way. I had great service everywhere from the staff: from check-in to the friendly baristas at the Starbucks, to the waiters at the restaurant who took my order with a smile even though I was wearing pajamas and barely conscious. I also appreciated the currency exchange in the lobby - that made my life so much easier. The only complaint I had was the quality of the room service, which is to be be expected. Room service on the whole is never really great by it's very nature. They offer an international menu on which everything is good but nothing is great. The Alfredo was good, the chocolate cake was meh, the Cesar salad tolerable, the pizza barely edible. While it could have all been better, it's still room service. I learned early on that if I wanted good food, to order room service from the Cantina downstairs. Their guacamole was among the best I had, and their cheese and beef quesadillas wrapped in a steamy spinach tortilla and topped with pico de gallo was delicious. I had a ludicrously early check-out and there was someone there at 3AM, smiling and friendly and ready to help me. I also appreciated the native Mexican vendors that were set up in the lobby, which made it easy to get gifts for friends and family. If you are staying in Guadalajara, or attending anything at the EXPO, you cannot get more convenience or luxury than the Hilton.

I stay at a lot of hotels, and many of them are Hiltons, but this one did not seem to hold up to…read morethe same standards of comfort as other Hilton hotels. Certain things like the room space and hotel amenities were good, but they are also standard offerings (like a gym or impressive lobby) that I don't think should be praised when they're expected. I got a room with a king sized bed which was nice, but the pillows were like pancakes. They started out fluffy and then flattened the minute I rested my head on them. I had to use all four just to get comfortable. The shower door was either installed wrong or had started to lean over time because it did not form a complete seal when closed, so water seeped out onto the floor every time I showered. The WiFi did not work in the lobby and kicked me off periodically throughout the rest of the hotel. The morning of my check out, I was awakened by construction noises coming from a room above or adjacent to me that proceeded to last for hours. The lounge chairs by the outdoor pool were so uncomfortable, as they didn't have any cushions and were positioned very low. I could feel the bars in the interior frame digging into my body while I laid on one, and the material they're made from gets really hot in the direct sun. Plus the pool sits out on the rooftop mezzanine facing a main road that gets some large vehicles and other traffic that can be pretty noisy. Not very relaxing. The gym was pretty small and didn't have much variety in machines/equipment. When I tried to dial the room service number from the hotel phone, it would just give me a dial tone sound. Some things I did find helpful however were the currency exchange desk in the lobby and the proximity of the hotel to a taxi stand. Plus the health and fitness level included a barbershop and a spa, which is something not frequently found in most affordable hotels. It's also walking distance to restaurants, a Santander bank, the expo center, etc. Overall, I wouldn't choose to stay here again. In fact, I had stayed a few nights at the Westin next door and was much happier there. However the Hilton was surprisingly affordable, so you get what you pay for.
