We stayed 4 nights at the Hotel San Francisco Plaza in Guadalajara, Mexico in April, 2012. the first thing you notice when you arrive is that the beautifully painted hotel sits in the Plaza San Francisco- a very inviting little plaza with benches for sitting and people watching. There are shops and restaurants in the plaza. The hotel entry way... More

This hotel was always our place to stay because it is in a very convenient location - within walking distance of the grand market, Plaza de Mariachis, the historic district and good restaurants. The surrounding neighborhood at night has become really sleazy though. The hotel has become quite run down and giving it a coat of paint is not going... More

Main positive point of our stay here was convenient location in Guadalajara historical center. So all main city sites of interest such as Cathedral, Palacio del Gobierno, Colonial churches, artisan market, Teatro Degollado are in a walking distance from hotel. Av. 16 de Septiembre from where buses run to the main bus station is also nearby. The building itself is... More

We have stayed at the San Francisco Plaza several times over the last eight years, but this time was our last. The hotel has become quite run down and though they are making efforts to spruce it up, it needs far more than a coat of paint. The rooms on the second floor facing the courtyard are tolerable, but most... More

A good choice for a moderately priced hotel near the historic district. Neighborhood is mostly commercial with many gold and silver buyers and a few local bars. The rooms are large, but the bathrooms are spartan and closets narrow. Courteous English-speaking reception staff and friendly service staff. More

I always used to stay at Hotel Fenix, which I like a lot, but the service really started going downhill and the prices increased drastically so I sought out and found this little gem of a hotel. Beautiful lobby, friendly staff and great location. I felt safe and secure and will definately be back! More

PROS: great location to historic downtown great price helpful staff CONS: no in room safe hard mattress noisy outside no hairdryer Overall, at first I was disappointed with not having an in room safe & hairdryer but after spending a few nights there I realized the things missing were not a big deal when we were paying a very low...

Yes, this is a older hotel but quite nice. Has genuine feel of being in mexico. The person at the desk could always speak pretty good english. within walking distance to liberty market, plazas and interesting site to see. Weekend brunch was excellent. We were one of the few tourists, other occupants were travelers of mexican decent...which to me says... More

This hotel has nice historic character and a lovely interior courtyard and a good location close to the sights of central Guadalajara. Room was a good size and comfortable, although dark and a bit bland and lacking in character. Some of the immediate area of the hotel is slightly dodgy. The little plaza on which the hotel is located is... More
