What a serene, lovely hotel! This magnificent mansion built in the 1920's sits in the heart of Colonia Lafayette which is a contemporary part of the city bustling with cars, buses, taxis and pedestrians. Restaurants and nightlife abound in the area. Once inside you are transformed into a by-gone era of beautiful old world Spanish Colonial furnishings and beautifully manicured gardens. This is a small boutique hotel and we were stayed in the grand master suites, Doloritas Suite, which was so lovely with its front sitting area with beautiful old candle that they would light at night. Despite the traffic at night the room was extremely quiet and we slept well every night and felt very safe. The bed, pillows and linens were wonderful and the room is kept very clean as is the rest of the property. The services were superb; the staff makes you feel as if it is your home and they are there to please. Each staff member does a multitude of duties and all were wonderful especially Armando, Lydia and Montania who was always ready with my morning coffee. But I actually could go on and on because all the staff were warm friendly and very accommodating. After a long day of touring it was great to have an evening glass of wine a little cheese which was complimentary or you could have a cocktail or a glass of fine tequila and relax in the main living room or sit out in the garden or terrace. We had breakfast every morning on the terrace with complimentary muffins, fruit and cold cereal and coffee. They also have a small menu where you can have eggs, bacon, french toast or pancakes. We stuck primarily with 2 fried eggs with toast everyday and they where very good and very inexpensive especially when you consider hotel prices. We also met the owners Sally and Click who are wonderful, keeping a watchful eye over all the goings on. They live in a lovely upper level apartment behind the terrace. The household cat, Buba, is a sweet as can be and just makes you feel more at home. We certainly had a wonderful weeks vacation in Guadalajara enhanced by staying at the wonderful Villa Ganz!
