Real de Minas San Miguel de Allende
Location is great, close to a lot of restaurants and shops. The hotel needs some renovation in some areas and improve recreation for all ages. Food was good, staff is very friendly, and they do everything to accommodate requests.

Hotel MX más San Miguel de Allende
I loved my 8 night stay at Hotel MX Mas! The service was excellent, the room was clean and comfortable, and the free breakfast was always delicious. If you’re new to San Miguel, just know that it’s not in centro, but I actually preferred this because it’s very quiet. I will gladly stay here ...
