I lived in Guadalajara for 4 years and I have stayed in most of the hotels in the area. The best value for a quality hotel can be found at the Fiesta Inn. It is located 2 blocks from the Plaza del Sol shopping center and about a mile from Expo Guadalajara.
This hotel compares favorably to more expensive and supposedly deluxe hotels. The rooms are actually better than those costing $50.00 more per night, the buffet is better quality and more economical than other hotels.
For really good Mexican food, the Mercado de Abastos is a short cab ride away. The food is very fresh and is 100% authentic. I travel to Guadalajara every two months to visit my son, who is studying there.
