Habitaciones limpias y cómodas. El aire acondicionado llega a fallar a ratos. El Internet es muy lento y no se puede conectar a la televisión

The location is ok. It is so near of the historical center of Jalpan. I think the rooms seem more bigger in photos than physically. The service is more or less, because the place is so quiet and silent, but that night when I was arriving from my party, the door of the hotel was closed. So you need to advice the receptionist about your night arrival.

Nice and affordable place to stay. We were greeted by staff and felt welcome right away. We needed help with my elderly father and they did not hesitate to help. My daughter wants me to add that we were able to stream Netflix without an issue :)
