Located on an uphill area, it gives you a very nice look of Guanajuato city. Very nice on the outside, the landscape, the old colonial style, plus it has a pool... the restaurant is very nice with a nice view of the city while you enjoy the exquisite taste of the meals that the chef cooks. A very nice hotel to stay in. The only reason I'm giving 4 stars is because the rooms get kind of hot during the night and they don't have a c or even a fan... over all it's a very nice place to stay.
