When I got to the hotel, I found that my room was right next to the pool and to make matters worse, there was a bar right outside the room. Like five feet away. My friend spoke some Spanish, but it wasn't enough at trying to figure out whether I could get a room further down the hallway or upgrade to get a room upstairs without a bar. That language barrier negotiation came to them downgrading me to a lesser room for the same price. I was not happy, but I was kicking myself for not learning more Spanish before I came down.
The room was okay, the walls are a little thin (I could hear people coughing in rooms around me) but I had no noise problems. The floor could have used a cleaning and there was dirt and dead bugs around the on/off switch on the bedside lamp. The sheets and towels were clean and the bed was fine. The place could use a remodel. Stunning views from the restaurant. From the web site I thought the area was more accessible, but it's tucked on a hillside with a gate and a surrounding neighborhood, so my thoughts of photo exploring were dashed.
It's right on the main road into Ajijic, so convenient for that. Not too close though, which might be good or bad depending on what you like. I will stay elsewhere next time.
