We spent one week at the Quinta Don Jose Hotel and would go back without hesitation. Our room was very nice. It was the perfect vacation!!!

The food was excellent. (Breakfasts and dinners)

We had great service and really enjoyed all of the staff members especially Estella and Abel. The Tours led by Abel were informative and fun.

The courtyard and pool areas were well maintained, beautiful and had very pretty flowers/plants. The lobby, bar and eating areas were very clean and had stylish tile work.

I really appreciated being able to use the computer to check e-mail and access to the toll free phone in the lobby.

The location was ideal and close to all the local sites. I strongly recommend staying here. You will enjoy your stay.

- Beautiful grounds (with a hammock my kids loved)
- Great (unexpected) restaurant at the hotel (VERY inexpensive)
- a fun, social happy hour in the beautiful courtyard (with great live guitar)
- Delicious varied breakfast
- SUPER friendly people (who really seemed to want to help, not try to extract more revenue)
- Really close to the center of Tlaquepaque

My wife and I spent a few days over Easter at La Quinta Don Jose to escape the rainy & cold weather in Seattle. It was our first visit to Guadalajara and we were very happy to have booked this place in Tlaquepaque (approx. 5-7 miles from downtown Guadalajara) rather than something in the city itself. Tlaquepaque is a very beautiful city with a gorgeous colonial town square (lot's of good places to eat, shop, drink, or just hang).

The hotel is just one block from the main pedestrian zone. It does not look much from the outside on this typical Mexican side street but wait until you enter: beautiful decoration, quiet, clean, and super friendly. The staff is always helpful (if not necessarily the most knowledgeable); our room was large, clean, and very comfortable. The bar area is very nice and the pool area invites one to take a break and relax. The Quinta Don Jose is truly an amazing Oasis!

My boyfriend Carlos and I stayed at QDJ in the second half of our Spring Break from Law School trip in Mexico. I was tempted to give 4 stars instead of 5 because we had just come from the most amazing B&B - Los Dos in Jocotepec where there were only 4 rooms and the views were spectacular. QDJ was only slightly less intimate but the property was gorgeous and employees were SOOOO amazing that I decided to give the 5.

QDJ employees and staff added to the perfect manicured gardens and greenery, pool, bar, and restaurant. Amenities included bottled water in the room, internet service, and use of a desk phone to call home (the US). All employees were amazingly friendly -- we got to know two of the waiters very well.

Tlaquepaque is a great shopping town. We found some great deals and had a lot of fun!
