Hotel Villa San Francisco

Looks very nice but hot water was off our last night. Cold shower. The AC died too. If its late, you wont get something fixed. The staff there are all very nice. Very accommodating. Its a handy location to walk the Malecon ,The down town is around the corner. Unlike Ajijic the streets and sidewalks are flat. So they are walkable. Breakfast was included and it was good. The room was smallish but adequate. The lake is in front across the road of course. Its pretty but nobody uses it. A huge lake that nobody uses. Polluted? and it cant be rejuvenated? Evidently the sewer system in Chapala is iffy. Flushing toilet paper is ?? They dont tell you this but if you mention it,they suggest....

Our new favorite pet friendly hotel lakeside! Historical and absolutely beautiful architecture. We got a suite for a very reasonable price complete with refrigerator, AC, TV, and even a giant terrace overlooking the malecón in Chapala. There is also a pool as well as a solar heated jacuzzi! Bar on site as well as a restaurant and breakfast is included. Super pet friendly - even for our Great Dane :)

Great location to the malecón. The pool was so fun and the margaritas delicious. The beds could be a bit softer but it was quiet. Great shower water pressure and HOT.

Right on the Malecon .Beautiful setting gardens,and building.It has a pool but we didn't use it. Very.nice porch on the front. Good for people watching or hanging out.Nice grounds.5 days here.Staff were very nice. VG COMPLIMENTARY BREAKFAST INCLUDED. It was clean. Toilet paper shouldn't be flushed.We found this out after a while.The hot water for showers died the last nite as did the AC. The desk attendant mumbled he would try to do something but at 10 o'clock at nite.. He isn't a plumber and the room was ok because of a large ceiling fan. Took a not hot shower and survived. I liked the Hotel and staff.They almost all spoke English. The other guests were friendly.Lots to see in Chapala and the down town is around the corner. ,the Malecon in front, the lake too.The sidewalks are flat and walkable, unlike Ajijic where they are quaintly awful. Chap has most of the realshopping. Political rallies happen.on the boardwalk .I scored a Verde shirt. Was denied an Azul Pan shirt. They also had brown and reds to try for. The back parts of Chap seem kind of seedy to me but I didn't go into a house. Lots of walls with barbed wire etc on.toP in neighborhoods.Boondocks is further east along the lake or behind Centro. Church bells ring early so be prepared. I went into the nearby church and it was quite ornate as is usual The town is lively as is the mMalecon.

Had the pleasure of a delicious breakfast. Sitting outside in a comfortable setting. The food was great, and the employee Paz couldn't do enough for us. Such pride is great to see.

A big shout out and thank you to Mauricio, Maria, Paul and all of the wonderful staff at Hotel Villa San Francisco We recently had the pleasure to stay in this quaint wonderful boutique hotel. I booked one of the Villa Rooms for an extended stay of 10 nights with my wife and my sister-in-law. What caught my eye when looking at places to stay in the area was first location and then how the actual hotel appealed to me. From the moment we arrived there was that welcome feeling. We were greeted by Paul at the desk who helped us get settled into our room. We fell in love with both the feel and the looks of this hotel. It seemed like any of the small issues that we may have had were addressed immediately by the wonderful staff. I speak very little Spanish but understand more than I can speak as for the staff that worked all hours communicated well in both Spanish and English to help with any questions that arose. As for my wife she is bi-lingual and my sister speaks fluent Spanish. We had a small problem with our shower head on the first day of our arrival and also with the tub draining a little slow. When we left to go for a walk on the Malecon which is just right out the front door across the street, by the time we returned which was no more than a 1/2 hour Mauricio who was there for us pretty much our entire trip explained that we were all set and that they had changed the shower head and fixed the slow tub. Coming from the Plumbing trade I was very impressed. The breakfast that was included with the room stay was always fresh and excellent. Thank you again Mauricio! Location, Location, Location, Comfort and absolutely beautiful! Thank you for a wonderful vacation Rick & Maria

Had breakfast during the eclipse. Paz delivered a wonderful breakfast and came to get us to come see the moon shaped shadows all over the pool area. She showed us some rooms with such pride that i thought her to be the owner Thx, Paz!

It's a cute and quaint hotel. Breakfast is delicious!! Hospitality is excellent. My only gripe is our hot water went out during my shower but was quickly fixed. Besides that I will definitely stay here again. There's a pool and jacuzzi we have yet to try. Hopefully we'll get in before our departure.
