“Old, dirty, stinky and dangerous”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 October 2010
1
person found this review helpful

The hotel was awful. The day we arrived one of the rooms wasn't been cleaned and my colleagues had to sleep in a dirty room.
In the room I stayed there was a terrible smell and when someone in other floor used the toilet all the pipe's smell invaded our room. And the room have no windows and the air conditioner didn't work. So the smell was unbearable.
The elevator get stucked and when the doors opened, we only saw a wall of white bricks. So we used the stairs the following days and it was worse because you can see all the pipes and how the hotel is falling to pieces. Also there is a strong smell of gas.
We went for bussiness and we had to walk to the Hospicio Cabañas during the night. The hotel it's not in a nice area, it's full of drunks and prostitutes.
Never stay in this hotel.

“Wanted to cry”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 February 2010

I usually like to take control of my reservations, but a travel agent in Mexico said that this hotel was clean and just as good at Trip Advisor's #1 rated hotel in Guadalajara(Holiday Inn). I trusted her and was highly disappointed when I walked into the lobby. I could tell by the dirty couches, the unfriendly staff(except for Bell Boy) that this was going to be a dump. It surely was. The beds were hard, the bathroom clean but the towels were like sandpaper. We spent one night and then changed our plans for the second night. Also, walking at night is sketchy. The place was crawling with transvestite prostitutes!

For the sake of my young children, I can't believe I stayed there even one night!

“Stay there if you like roach”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 October 2008

My employer has always book me at the Expo Plaza Hotel because it is 30 steps across the expo center. However, I was back to Guadalajara visiting some of my friends back in August, and the reason I choose this hotel is because they are cheap about $70/night.

This is the worst hotel that I have ever stayed. The entire hotel looks dirty and had that OLD smell. The mattress and pillows looks yellish instead of white. and death roaches can be found in many corners.

If you want something cheap, dirty and cockroaches this is it!!
But if you don't like any of the above mentioned, don't try it!

“Old and dirty hotel”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 July 2008

person found this review helpful

This is the worst hotel that me and my family have ever stayed in. The whole hotel looks dirty. The mattress and the pillows are at least 20 years old, and worst, the beds, walls and bathroom are very, very dirty. Hairs and buggers on both beds and on the walls, and dry toothbrush paste on the sink.

Our whole experience at this hotel was terrible and we're never ever going back to that hotel in Guadalajara or anywhere else. We were very disappointed because the pictures show a very different place than the one we found.

I really hope they do something about it because it gives a bad impression about Guadalajara.
