Hotel Casa Blanca

Very friendly woman at the reception desk who spoke English. We needed a place to stay on short notice and Casa Blanca came through. The room was clean and comfortable. We checked in late in the evening and went straight out to a restaurant. We left early the next day. While I can't say much about the hotel from our brief stay I can tell you from living here that you could not ask for a better location. The hotel is just a few blocks from the Malecon, the central plaza and all sorts of restaurants and shops. I would think it would be an ideal spot for somebody visiting Ajijic.

Ventilation in the king bed room we stayed in is not the best. There is no air conditioning, but we really didn't need it as nights are cool here. The problem was there wasn't any way to get good cross ventilation without propping doors open. There is a ceiling fan and windows next to the patio door, though. Also, there was quite a bit of noise from a bar down the street but it's Mexico. That's part of the charm.

Excellent staff, clean rooms and very well located.

Everything was very good. A more firm mattress is the only thing that was lacking.

Small hotel Friendly. Caring staff. Great location.

The room I booked had a refrigerator that did not cool bread enough to prevent mold. The cook top had no controls and quickly was dangerously hot. It needs an induction cooktop, 49.00 on Amazon. The two women who cleaned my room did an excellent job. The breakfast was sparse and was not a true continental.

The American manager increased my bill by 100-150.00 for reasons neither I nor Booking.com could figure out. He responded often in Spanish which I don't understand. He did not seem to recognize or honor my Booking.com reservation which was in CDN and US dollars, and not in pesos. I was surpised that Booking.com could not intervene, although some help was provided. I have been a Booking.com customer since 2000 and this is the first time they failed to make a hotel owner honor the contract as originally reserved.
