Decent property for just your basics. Great AC which was a must. Elevator didn’t feel the safest so opted to just walk up and down the stairs which I didn’t mind at all. Hallways are dark at night time not a lot of lighting. But location is excellent right in the middle of centro histórico.

I love staying at the older historical hotels in GDL. Hotel Francés just needs some extra touches. Like paint in the rooms and some dusting of the sofas in the reception area. Overall the place is okay. I wouldn’t stay there again just because there’s other hotel with similar prices and better quality. If you are looking for something reasonable priced and just need somewhere to sleep it’s good.

The hotel is beautiful and clean. What you’d expect for a historical building. However, it was listed as having an elevator. When we arrived we were told that the elevator has not been working for almost 3 weeks since they are waiting for a part that is coming in from Italy. I had my 83 year old mother and handicapped brother going up and down the stairs for two days. Not sure if this is Expedias fault for not updating the listing or the hotel’s.

Elevator was broken, and we had to take the stars for the days we stayed. We were on the 4th floor, with an upstairs bar, on one of the nights there was a mariachi playing outside of our room until 1am. Hotel gave us no warring
