I stayed four nights with my wife and five year old son. It is a friendly and relaxing environment. The staff is friendly and helpful. The decor is tasteful and has character. It's a nice place to hang out and rest or read a book. There are several very nice areas to lounge peacefully. There are two pools and a spa none of which are heated which is pretty common in Mexico. We also stayed at the Quinta Real which didn't heat their pool or spa either.
It's about a ten minute walk to the center of Tlaquepaque, which is a nice charming town.
The breakfast was not good, but there are lots of good restaurants in Tlaquepaque.

this charming hotel is a 10 minute walk from shops and restaurants--It exuded charm, great staff who were so helpful (plus speaking english) The rooms were quiet and clean. All the conveniences of home at this b and b. They even did our laundry,. Nice library to exchange books. Delicious breakfasts prepared by buffet or special order. This is a gem!

If you are headed to Guadalajara for shoppping, there is no better place to stay. The hotel is beautiful and every room is unique and incredible. The staff is excellent, along with the food and drinks. It is a short walk to Telaquepaque, the main shopping district.

We went to the area hoping do some shopping and site seeing. We found out that all there really is to do is shopping. We tried to do some site seeing in downtown Guadlajara. There are some great buildings, but we went on a Sunday and it was so busy you could hardly walk down there. The Tequila Express we heard is a great trip, not only for the tequilla tour, but to see the country side. It is booked out in advance though, so make reservations early.

My first trip to Mexico was an unexpectedly grand adventure due to the friendly and helpful staff at the Villa. Most speak some english; three are very fluent. All are most helpful and friendly. I was in a group; we were in and out of each others' rooms, and I am very happy to report that the rooms were extremely clean and well apportioned when we arrived, and stayed that way, through the dilligent efforts of the staff.

The breakfast was varied every day, and each was well prepared and more than adequate in every respect.

The hotel has expanded to 28 rooms, by renovating a property directly across the street from the original location. It now has two pools, a large breakfast/bar area, and wireless internet throughout.

Security is vigilant and consistent, and the employees are very aware of what is going on in the street. Its location in a residential area lends to its quiet, peacful and secure setting. It is good to see the locals checking out what is going on, up and down the block, though.

I am looking forward to my next trip to Guadalahara, and I am very much looking forward to my next visit to the Villa de Ensueno.
