When we arrived to the cabin we found like 4-5 spiders without looking very deep and also found that the bed sheets were dirty, we had to go to Monterrey to buy some insecticide. The hotel has a very small pool and when we tried to go with my 2 nieces we didnt find a table, chair or a pool chaise because they only have 2 tables, 5 chairs and 6 pool chaise for all the guests, this wasnt a problem. The problem was the extremely cold temperature of the pool.

When the cabin was clean (clean sheets, no visible spiders) we stayed most of the time in it watching movies in a projector that we bring from home. We also took a lot of walks in the mountain (this was great).

The bad moments we had were when we get close to the other facilities of the hotel like the pool, tennis courts, bar, etc. Plus the hotel staff doesnt help at all. If you try to stay away from those places you will have a great holiday in your cabin.

PROS: The hotel is located in the mountain, you are sorrounded by nature. The views are great. Its pretty quiet and its great for a relax holiday (when the cabin is clean and with no spiders).

CONS: Terrible service, terrible facilities (extremely cold pools, tennis courts in bad condition one of the courts don't have net, bikes in bad shape), the cabins are NOT clean at all, a lot of spiders in the rooms. The pictures in the website are FAR away from reality.

We stayed her at the beginning and end of a June driving tour of central Mexico. We paid $1250 pesos per night for a room with a queen bed during our most recent stay. My wife is from Monterrey and we have stayed here several times over the last several years. On the edge of the very large city of Monterrey, this hotel is located at the top of a mountain overlooking the city and inside of a national park/nature preserve. The road to the hotel goes through the park and is very windy and twisty as it goes up. Once you get to the hotel you'll want to enjoy the natural beauty instead of driving 30 minutes back down the mountain to the city. If you're staying at the hotel, be sure to tell the attendant at the park entrance when you drive in. He won't charge you for park entrance (it helps to have your confirmation number).

The hotel is not very fancy, although at one time it probably was. It is a little shopworn, but more on the cozy, comfortable, rustic side now. The rooms have fireplaces. The furnishings are not up to date, but they are clean. The restaurant is nothing special. One morning their coffee machine was broken and they had few people working there, so the staff was easily overwhelmed by a large group of people. Checking in and out was unnecessarily painful. Except for the people in reception (front desk) everyone was friendly and enthusiastic.

Enjoying the view, the altitude, the cooler temperature and the millions of fireflies that we saw in June was an absolute delight. We will go back.

Note that a photo that my friend took from the hotel is now the screensaver on my computer!!!!!

Nice weekend get away, motel kinda noisy, bed too soft but if you like hiking & biking this is a great place. Also the romantic dinners overlooking the city lights are beautiful.
Bikes included in the hotel were not in the best of shape.

Chipinque Hotel is a must go for all nature lovers. Located up in mountains. Lots to do: hiking, biking, guided tours, nature walks, butterfly gardens, birdwatching. Spectacular views from the hotel. Peaceful, quiet. An awsome getaway! Hotel has a great gym, comfy rooms, accomodations more than adequate. Charming and picturesque, lots of character.
