What a unique and historic hotel. Rooms are clean, beds very soft and cozy. Staff was excellent friendly and helpful. Underground secured parking, valet service. Linens are well used and could probably be replaced but otherwise excellent value for price. Roof top pool, great views of Tepic. Pool could.use some maintenance but is a nice feature.

We enjoyed our stay. The rooms are nice. We had a balcony overlooking the plaza. The staff was friendly and helpful. I like a firm bed, but I found our beds a little too soft. Other than that all was very good,

We had lunch at this super charming hotel and restaurant, right of the Zocolo. The hotel seems to be a couple of hundred years old. My shrimp with mole a winner. The place to stop in Tepic.
