I loved the Sautto. Have stayed there a dozen times and still has all the charm that used to attract people to Mexico. If you want the Holiday Inn go elsewhere, please.

It was scary to think about what might be crawling around on the cold tile floor. Stains on the walls and tile galore. Did I mention to bring a heater if you choose to go in the wintertime? When I went, the rooms were at least 10 degrees colder than the outside temperature. There is no direct sunlight in any of the rooms whatsoever. The showers SUCK!
Toilets clog daily. You won't feel like your on a vacation. But...
Bella Italia, the restaurant at the hotel is superb! Five star rating in my eyes.. The best meal I had in Mexico!

If you are a romantic who likes old world charm and you have to adhere to a strict budget, then I would highly recommend El Sautto. I have stayed there several times, and will go back again. I especially love the courtyard and adjoining small and intimate Italian Restaurant. Some rooms are better than others, so if you have a choice, look around before you decide. I have my favorite room which has a small skylight, and cute little fireplace. It's true that towels are a bit scarce, but if you ask, I'm sure they will bring extras. My favorite room has carpet which is awfully worn and a bit musty, but the bed is good, and the room spacious. The room across the way was quite different, smaller and with a tile floor. Not near as homey, but what can you expect for such a bargain! Convenient to everything. You can walk anywhere. I'd be happy to answer any questions.

Old rambling hotel in a great location. Lots of plants. Vegatation everywhere. Rooms small and stark but atmosphere makes up for it. Had to cut the end off of a sharp bedspring. Price is right and you may get discount for 4 days or more. Right in the middle of downtown. Easy walk anywhere. Large off street parking with closed gate at night. Good place to stay, especially if on a budget. 5 stars if romance counts.

San Miguel is such a nice city. Class...lots of it. The hot springs (La Gruta) are close and worth a visit. Great swimming. Lots of north americans in town but the retired school teacher type not t shirt crowd. Great climate (everyone talks about the last freeze in 1937) Lots to see here. Good taxi and bus service. Great place to retire or visit.
