My family and I were visiting Morelia and we have been wanting to stay at this hotel before so we…read morefigured why not. It's close enough to downtown yet far enough to be have a peaceful and quiet stay. It's in close proximity to the zoo and they have a wonderful restaurant on site as well (not included with the stay) but they do have delicious food. The check in process was easy and smooth, the receptionist was friendly and efficient. They offer free parking on site and valet is also very friendly. I love the details of the hotel. All of the bricks through out the property give it the authentic Mexico feel. As you walk along the property you can also notice designs within the brick walls, it's those nice touches and attention to detail that makes this hotel inviting. As soon as we entered our room the bedding and design throughout the room along with the beautiful brick fireplace make it feel like home. The room was very clean and the placement of the table was right next to window, perfect placement to sit and enjoy your coffee. The size of the room was perfect for my family. The walk in shower is a good size and the bedding is comfortable for a good night sleep. I'm looking forward to staying here again on another visit.

I just did a morning at the restaurant and toured the grounds. From the start, greeted and welcomed…read morewarmly from the valet. (Valet is your only option unless you park off the property and down the road.) The grounds... Just amazing. Well, kept, groomed, tranquil, quiet and beautiful. Just look at the pictures as my writing skills are not as amazing as the photos. Immediately greeted by a maître d' and seated promptly. The restaurant was simply decorated finely, the tables set beautifully, music playing at the right level and a quiet place in general. The wait staff was attentive, unintrusive and always available. Our head waiter, Julio was just perfect. The meal was tasty, coffee delicious, the juices fresh made in house. Everyone in my group raved about their meal and I sampled each of them and raved just the same. The coffee was rich and dark served with natural sugar, substitutes and milk. Prices were good, especially for this type of restaurant. The bill for 5 of us, all with drinks and some with appetizers was just about $700 (pesos) with worked out to about $10 (American) per person. With tips, we were about $15 a person. No where in the states could you get that kind of service for 3 times that money. The view here, since it is on top of a plateau looking over Morelia, was just breath taking. (Again, see the photos.) Out door seating with that view was available as well as the indoor seating. There was a grand piano inside the restaurant, so I'm guessing at times they have live music. Also, they have a buffet on Sunday morning that I hope I can experience next visit. Also, as beautiful as the hotel was, I plan on not just eating here, but staying here for my next visit. I will update my review on the hotel when I do, but I'm positive that it will be more of the same 5 star rave. I felt like a million dollars here. I felt pampered and left feeling refreshed, full, satisfied and amazed.

My wife and I stayed a night here after failing to find an AirBnb. For $74 USD (booking fees…read moreincluded), I'd say this place was a steal compared to other hotel and AirBnBs in the area. The Hotel is built in an 18th-century building overlooking the historic center of Morelia. The building itself it absolutely gorgeous; feels like you're walking around an old castle. The old paintings and suits of armor really help the atmosphere. The centerpiece is the mind-blowingly large stained-glass ceiling over the main lobby. The basic room we got was pretty small, but totally functional. Bed was a queen-size, the bathroom and shower were spacious enough (oddly, the bathroom had a window that opened up to the main hallway). Our stay included a continental breakfast, between the decor of the dining room and the excellent staff seemed a better deal than most hotels. Long story short, if you're in Morelia and you can stay here it's worth it. Stop by even if you don't to check out the decor.

Hmmm- kinda overrated. Stayed there for two nights. The locals consider it high end because it's…read morecolonial and on the pricier side. Not all rooms have air conditioning so make sure to request a room with it. Ours didn't come with it, but they put some fans in our rooms so it was okay. They have WiFi too, but it was so lame in our rooms. Our stay included breakfast- it was just okay. During our first morning, the food and coffee was cold. When I told one of the waiters, he got upset. They're also limited on options- like no spinach for my omelet or cheese (wtf). Sigh. The breakfast the second morning was better (guess they got the message from the day before). It's right in the center of Morelia, so that was great:

We only had a problem one day because it was my nieces birthday and we got her cake and got together at the restaurant and ordered drinks, they were upset because we didn't get the cake there, but they don't have cakes! We were there for four nights and were not going to let a 9 year old birthday be ruined because of the stupidity of the hotel management, so we cut the cake and sang to her anyway. Here are some pictures of the room I was in. It didn't have a balcony but it still had a nice view.

Cons: ~Staff is very cold, unwelcoming. ~ Hotel is NOT suitable for the handicap or elderly. No elevator or assistance. ~You must go up two set of stairs carrying your own luggage. There is no elevator and staff will not assist in carrying items to your room. - Street noice was very loud, I felt like I was sleeping on the street. Nightclub music ended at 4:00. ~ They will not take dollars, only pesos. ~ The giant cockroaches greeted me better than the staff, lol! Overall its a beautiful hotel with a very cold feel.

Rooms are spacious and I reserved a junior suite which is two floors. Rooms come equipped with AC and snack bar for purchase. Snacks are reasonably inexpensive. Hotel rates are also fantastic. At time of shower, noticed cockroach coming out behind mirror. Notified management but they didn't do anything about the issue they just took note of the situation. The next morning when I was getting ready for check out, noticed another cockroach coming out from the shower floor/drain. Again, I notified front desk staff upon check out but they didn't do anything about the situation. The hotels lobby is beautiful and features many artisan details such as copper chandeliers and and copper panels with designs in the lobby/restaurant area. Hotel is located within walking distance of many other restaurants and attractions located in the city center of Morelia. I would recommend this hotel hopefully their pest issue was just a one time isolated situation.
