I stayed at the Westin Guadalajara for five nights earlier this month during the World Cup and…read moreoverall had a very good experience. Our flight arrived early, and the hotel was able to accommodate us with an early check-in around 11:00 a.m., which was greatly appreciated after traveling. The hotel felt very safe throughout our stay. Since it was hosting the South Korean national team, there was additional security, road closures, and a noticeable National Guard and police presence, which added to the sense of security. As a Marriott Platinum member, we received complimentary breakfast vouchers each morning. The breakfast buffet offered a good variety of options, and there were also à la carte items available for an additional charge. The room was comfortable for two adults. Our view overlooked a nearby apartment complex on the east side, so it wasn't anything special, but it wasn't an issue since we spent most of our time exploring the city. One of the main reasons I chose this hotel was its excellent location. It was an easy walk to Expo Guadalajara, where the official World Cup shuttle buses departed for Estadio Akron, making transportation to World Cup matches very convenient. One unexpected highlight was finding a hot dog and hamburger cart near the OXXO on the northeast side of the hotel after looking for late-night tacos. The food was surprisingly good and worth checking out if you're hungry after the nearby restaurants have closed. The only disappointing part of our stay was the bar experience. The bartender was not particularly welcoming. On two separate occasions, he approached us to tell us that outside food and drinks were not allowed in the common seating area near the bar. While I understand the policy, the interactions felt unfriendly and made us feel unwelcome. One night we ordered two drinks while watching a World Cup match at the bar, and the bill came to about 600 pesos, which felt overpriced for what we received. One thing to keep in mind is the price. During the World Cup, rates were close to $1,000 USD per night, which I don't think would have been worth paying out of pocket. Fortunately, we redeemed Marriott Bonvoy points, making the stay an excellent value. Overall, I would stay here again if I'm ever in the area. Helpful front desk staff, comfortable accommodations, and the Platinum breakfast benefit. If the bar service were friendlier and the drink prices more reasonable, it would have been an easy five-star stay.

We stayed at the hotel for the entire weekend and appreciated the warm welcome upon arrival. 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

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.

We went during Dia De Los Muertos and I highly recommend this place. It's very unfortunate they were doing road construction directly in front of the hotel, but surprisingly that didn't interfere with our stay one bit. Yes, maybe a little of traffic, but what do expect? The rooms were quiet, clean and comfortable. They had a beautiful display of past Mexican icons for Day of the Dead in the lobby. They also had a rooftop pool, but I cannot comment on it since we were pretty busy exploring the town and never made it up there. I would say I would definitely stay here again. Very historical. Very beautiful. Check it out if you're ever in the area.

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?

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.

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.
