Hotel and Suites Mansion San Antonio

Two men were at the door of the hotel when we pulled up. I asked in Spanish if they worked there, but they did not reply. They did not greet us or smile. A bit disconcerting. We unloaded the cat and brought our items into the hotel. They did help nor offer to. One of them checked us in and then he took the one small rolling bag and left us with the others to carry. The room was somewhat sparse, but reasonably nice and it was spotless. Unfortunately, the WiFi did not reach the room, so you had to go near the front desk to get WiFi. My 3G did not work. There was no outlet at the desk which made working on the computer there impossible. The shower temperature lever was backwards (cold on the left) and the water never did get really warm. The shampoo and conditioner made my hair feel dirty - thick and greasy. So I ended up buying some at a local pharmacy. The towels were hard, well worn and we were only given two large ones. No hand towels. No towel bars. Beds were firm and comfortable. The restaurant at the hotel, is separately owned/run. The menu is very limited - just eggs, quesadillas, chilequiles, hamburgers, etc. No tacos, enchiladas, flautas, soup, etc. A little pricey for the fare. The owner/waitress was super nice and helpful about visiting the Monarch park. We found a restaurant on the Jardin nearby that had a far greater menu, if less friendly wait staff. The Monarch park was about 45 minutes away driving - the Sierra Chincua entrance.

Staff is extremely friendly. You'll feel like home here. Facilities are the best around. Hotel isn't great, but The overall experience in there is pleasant enough to to recomend it and to come back every year.

Everything was good, the only thing is that there is no place to buy food or water inside the hotel not even a snack machine This should be addressed

I arrived early and was greeted with warmth and care despite the language barrier. The room was clean and nice with a lovely view. The only drawbacks were the restaurant was closed and there was NO HEAT in the freezing room all night. Unseasonably COLD weather at 42 degrees (F) made for a long night.

Used this hotel as a base for visiting the Monarch Butterfly Biosphere. It's location to the Biosphere and Tlalpujahua (if you're into Christmas tree ornaments) is its only redeeming point. This is a bare bones hotel. It was quite cold during our stay (low forties at night) but the rooms are not heated. They gave us an extra blanket and an electric heater but they couldn't get the heater to work. No phone in the rooms, no restaurant or bar service during our stay and very few options in Tlalpujahua, all of which closed by 7 PM. My recommendation is to stay at the Hacienda Cantalagua. It will only add about 20 mins on to the drive to the Biosphere / Tlalpujahua, but it was only a couple of dollars a night more a night at the time of our stay (first week of January) and it is literally like staying at the Ritz compared to a Motel 6. It also had an indoor/ outdoor water park a mile from the hotel, if you have kids, and an 18 hole golf course!

Hotel was great, staff great but no restaurant service what so ever all we had was a coffee / tea making machine.
