Hotel San Jorge

Very well located in the noisy center of the city, spacious corridors and a parking. Wide bed, firm and clean. A bit better price with web promo. A definite lack of charm and not the usual mexican friendliness. A stop on the way to somewhere else.

THE GOOD: Hotel San Jorge is located 1 block from the Centro Histórico plaza and Cathedral. There also many historical buildings, museums and art galleries with their architecture spanning the 16th thru the 19th centuries. The hotel is attractively decorated and has free parking, The staff is friendly and helpful. The rooms are clean with comfortable beds, good shower facilities, fans, air conditioning, strong WiFi and excellent TV service. The restaurant has simple yet tasty fare, and you can have an excellent breakfast with coffee for less than $5 USD. Lastly the price for my room was inexpensive considering the quality received (~$42 USD per night). THE BAD: No bad. For the price this hotel is definitely on the higher end of the scale. The only issue for me was there is no upper end restaurants in this area which require a taxi to reach. The restaurants that are close by are few and with simple limited menus. THE UGLY: Definitely no ugly, but to get 5-stars the hotel is dated and needs a renovation, the restaurant menu needs to expand and a hotel bar would need to be added. BUT this is a hotel in Tepic, México that serves mostly the Mexican business class. To do too much renovation would cause prices to rise and affect their bookings unless they took the renovation to a 5-star standard which then might draw a more affluent clientele. My personal opinion is they already have a recipe for success. If it ain’t broke . . . etc. The was a most enjoyable hotel, and the price made it most enjoyable indeed!!!

A decent choice. I liked that the covered secure parking came with security camera coverage that front desk staff see on screen. Room was just big enough, room at back was quiet, main square just a hundred meters away.

We spent 3 nights at the Hotel San Jorge, on the recommendation of a friend. We were shown rooms on the interior column, no windows out of the building. We rejected those and were next shown 3rd floor with small balconys and we accepted those. The rooms were spacious, bed comfortable, washrooms and showers fine and spacious. There was air conditioning, with the ceiling fan it was not used. Very noisy outside, constant buses and police whistles guiding said buses. But, and a large but, by 10:00 PM all noise stops. Finito. Roll up the sidewalk, and it is quiet all night. I am sure an inner room is like a tomb but the "noisy" ones are much more interesting. The desk folk do not have much English (or any on some shifts) but you can get around that. The inside parking is tight but adequate, we parked and left the vehicle for the duration of our visit. The restaurant is open from 7:00 to 3:00. We didn't eat there, the décor is imaginatively unimaginative and a rather limited menu.

Reservé en este hotel por su ubicación ya que sólo iba por una noche y quería aprovechar para dar una caminata por el centro de la ciudad. El Hotel no es lo peor, pero tiene sus detalles: no tiene elevador, no hay agua caliente (dijeron que la regadera era eléctrica pero no funcionó), los colchones son algo duros. El hotel no es del todo malo, pero si te gustan las amenidades y pequeñas comodidades, este hotel no es la opción.
