This is the 2nd time I have stayed at this hotel. The place is set in a traditional Latin favor (Brick, Rock, etc...) while the hotel does need to be updated the 360 deg. view you have of the city are amazing.
upon my check-in the staff was very friendly and they upgrade me to a better room (#712) that excellent view of the pool area and the front door had a view of the city. all the rooms come with a Safe and private patio which I find nice and relaxing. Hotel is in a secure area (private residence) that requires a security check in prior to accessing the mountain.
if you are looking for piece and quite away from all you daily troubles - than this is the place to go too. if you want to be in the middle of downtown than I recommend you stay else where like the Intercontinental Presidente Hotel.
El Tapatio Hotel is a short 10 min drive from GDL airport; The Grounds are great has a swim up bar, however if you are planning on buying beers its about 8 pesos cheaper if you buy it from the downstairs bar rather than the disco/club.
overall I recommend staying here. the only bad thing I can say about this place is the Wi-Fi reception signal is very weak in the rooms and strongest in the lobby and pool areas...
