I stayed with a group for couple of nights when I was visiting relatives in Tepic. Too many relatives showed up at the same time, and some of us had to go to a hotel, this was our pick, really, based only on Tripadvisor.||||I was impressed right out of the gate, the desk had our reservations no problem and they gave us suggestion about the better rooms, very friendly and professional. The rooms themselves were not the epitome of luxury, but they were clean and functional. And given the price, a real bargain. ||||I travel often on a motorcycle, although not this time, but if I had, I would have enjoyed the fact that the parking is enclosed and in sight of the rooms. At night there is a gate that closes making it even safer for the bike. ||||Technically the hotel is in the historic center, but that's a stretch. However, a 10 minute walk does put you at the edge of the REAL historic center. Which, BTW, is very interesting in a low key way. The central square is lined with market stalls from the local indigenous peoples (Huichole) that make bright yarn crafts. ||||That said, there is plenty going on around the hotel; there are bars and restaurants around that that are very good (and cheap by US standards). In particular, there is a very nice steak house (Las Banderillas) two blocks away that has mastered a steak cooked "rare". I did not try the hotel restaurant, and by the looks of it, not many people have.||||The hotel is right across the street from a big park that is perfect for that early morning workout. A two Km loop is great for getting in those miles, and there is a Paracourse a few hundred meters away to work out at, with various machines to work on any muscle group you are interested in. ||||I would recommend this for anyone driving thru that wants to take a peek at the town. It is on the old main highway thru the town, so it is easy to get to (but slow, as there are a million traffic lights), and the cleanliness, price and parking make it a no stress stop.
