HG Hotel is a 75-room hotel at Avenida Vallarta 5281 in Zapopan, in the western business district, and it is connected to a shopping centre. Its restaurant, terrace, gym and 24-hour business centre are joined by free Wi-Fi and free self-parking and valet parking. Rooms have air conditioning and heating, a safe, a flat-screen television and, in many cases, a balcony. The Plaza Galerias shopping centre is about a seven-minute walk, the Metropolitan Park about seventeen minutes, and the Expo Guadalajara convention centre and the Basilica de Zapopan are a short drive. The hotel is pet friendly within stated limits, and guests rate it highly for cleanliness and service.
Location and getting around
This is a west-side hotel, so think of it as a base for business, shopping and the Zapopan area rather than the old centre. The Plaza Galerias shopping centre is next door in practical terms, with shops, cafes and restaurants within a short walk, and the Metropolitan Park is a pleasant walk for a morning run.
The Basilica de Zapopan and Plaza Patria are a short ride away, and the historic centre is a taxi or ride-service trip across the city, which can take a while in traffic. The airport is about forty-five minutes by road, and the hotel offers an airport shuttle for a fee. Avenida Vallarta is a main road, so rooms facing it can hear traffic.
The rooms and facilities
The standard double has two queen beds and sleeps four, which suits families and groups, while the junior suite has a king bed and extra space for couples. Rooms have air conditioning and heating, a safe, a flat-screen television, a hair dryer and a balcony in many cases, and cribs are available.
Facilities include a restaurant, a terrace, a gym, a 24-hour business centre, meeting rooms, a banquet hall, porter service, laundry and dry cleaning, and car rental on site. There is no pool, so look elsewhere if swimming matters. Early check-in and late check-out carry a fee, so ask when you book if you need them.
Good to know
Free parking, both self-service and valet, makes the hotel a practical base for anyone driving to Tequila or Lake Chapala. Cats and dogs are welcome within a weight limit and for a nightly fee, which is rare among well-rated hotels, so check the policy if you are travelling with a pet. Breakfast is not a stated feature, though the restaurant and nearby cafes cover the morning.
The hotel suits business travellers, shoppers, families who want a modern room at a fair price and visitors who prefer a quiet, tidy base to the bustle of the centre. It is less suited to first-time sightseers who want to walk to the cathedral, for whom Hotel de Mendoza or Hotel Frances would work better.
