Hotel Morales has been my "go to" hotel in Guadalajara for the last two years.
The hotel restaurant is good, staff competent and pleasant, and I find the complementary valet parking a valuable convenience.

Quick getaway
The hotel staff was helpful and had excellent customer service! Our room was very clean and loved that the room had working AC. Very comfortable beds and closet had enough room for luggage.
The buffet breakfast was very good and had a nice variety.
Taco place across the street with a good variety of food to choose from.
