I stayed here with my family for one night and the experience was unpleasant. For starters, the hotel was filled to the brim with images of saints and religious artifacts even in the room, to the point of being quite creepy (there were religious statues and a priest's soutane in my room). The room was very dusty and cold. The bathroom was equally stingy. To add to that, all the lights in the halls were all turned off at about 10.00 and the water heaters at 11.00.
The staff were polite but the service was still average.
I would not recommend an overnight stay in Chichi, if only for the lack of decent accommodations. The visit to Chichi can be done extensively in 5 hours with a base at Lake Atitlan or Panajachel.
