we stayed at the Casa Grande because we had to be back at the airport at 4:30am-only because American Airlines cancelled our flight home! We had a great meal in the restaurant, and the service was excellent. later, the room was ok, but the beds were hard, the fan on the A/C was noisy and it took us a while to fall asleep, but it was better than sleeping at the airport. In the wee small hours of the morning, we woke to find the strong smell of sulpher in the hallways as we struggled to find our way to the lobby. The hotel is poorly laid out, and the elevators were barely big enough for two people to stand in. It took quite a while to find our way out to the front desk, and when we mentioned the horrible odor to the clerk, she just blinked and smiled. The lobby is open to the traffic and across the street (literally) from the airport, but the smell was less strong in the open, and not too bad once we were inside the airport with A/C. I was nauseous for hours afterwards, which made the flight home a real joy. I would only stay here again if I had no other options. I certainly would not pay for it.

Very convenient to the Guadalajara airpot (soundproof construction) we walked to the airport for our early morning departure. This hotel is O.K., nice bathroom, AWFUL television channel choices.

Only stay at the hotel if you have an early early AM flight, and then calculate an extra 15 minutes to find your way from your room to the exit door. This is not an exaggeration. The hotel is a labyrinth, and the deskclerk no help at all about anything. Even if you have a bellboy show you to your room, you'll never find your way again; there are no interconnecting corredors, and you have to go down to the lobby (if you can find it) or one of the couryards (if you can find out which door to exit from the courtyard.) The rooms are very acceptable, but the restaurant was the only one in our 11 days that gave us the tourista. However, it is the only hotel near the airport, a mere walk across the street. The Tapitio is closer than downtown Guadalajara, but if you have to leave early, you might not get a taxi, or get stuck in the eternal traffic snarl of greater Guadalajara.
