“Good, but boutique?”

Yeah, the place is nice, and it's in the New York Times, blah blah blah.

We stayed here and got room number 9, which is really, really bad, and more so because it cost us $80 (before taxes). It's totally enclosed, with no natural light and a window only down to the lobby. Not good. Not fun. And depressing inside. Ugh.

For a better value, I'd suggest the Rosa Morada - an equal distance from the sights in TLPQ, with a beautiful (!) courtyard, very romantic rooms and more affordable prices (and all the same amenities, including wireless, breakfast, etc.) Much more boutique-y (that tired, overused word) and much more comfortable. Really nothing boutique about the QDJ - it feels rather commercial to me.

I'm staying at the Rosa Morada next time.

We really enjoyed our stay at Quinta Don Jose Boutique. From the moment you step in the doors and see the first water feature you feel relexed. As we moved through the property to our room we were taken by what a wonderful job had been done with the design and traditional look of the property. We stayed in the pool suite which had a wonderul view of the pool and the well maintained landscaping with water feature, birds, and a very traditional Guadalajara Hacienda look. We also stayed in the standard room upstairs and it was a nice room, it had a patio/terrace that overlooked the town street. The pool suite was definitely our favorite. We enjoy staying in places that represent the best of the area we are visiting, in this case we really felt like we were in a beautiful traditional hacienda. Just wish we had stayed more days here. It was close to the shops and there was a great taxi driver (Nicasio) that took us everywhere, very patient and honest. The management and staff at Quinta Don Jose Boutique were wonderful. Thanks to Liz, Estella, Nayeli, and Nicasio for making this such a great experience for me, my Mom and Grandmother.

“Fabulous Vacation”

Quinta Don Jose Boutique Hotel

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

“Wonderful Oasis”

Quinta Don Jose Boutique Hotel

Mar 30, 2008
3/3 found this review helpful

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!
