Hotel & Restaurante La Troje de Mazamitla — Restaurant in Jalisco

Me and my partner did a last minute trip to Mazamitla; as we arrived mid-afternoon in a Saturday and went straight to eat something downtown we didn't look for hotels or cabanas until probably 6 or 7 pm (trusting in our never-ending pot of luck).||A quick search in Internet gave us a few options, out of which the hotel La Troje was one of the best rated. As we were celebrating my partner's birthday, I didn't really hesitate about the rate nor getting a suite, after all, it was a special occasion and being so late most likely we were not going to get anything better than that. I'd have to say that La Troje is not a bargain, it is fairly priced I'd say. Depending on the traveler's choices I might even say it can probably seem expensive.||On the way to the hotel I made the reservation; we arrived a few minutes later and parked our car right in front of their office (free parking). The hotel is right at the town's entrance on the main road, so its location is good with an Oxxo grocery store nearby, some eating options and a drugstore on site. The town isn't very large, downtown is just 4 blocks away and it is very safe to walk even very very late at night.||Parking is not much of a trouble as I mentioned, once inside we told the attendant about our reservation made minutes before. She didn't know about the hotel dealing internet vendors and took us a few minutes explaining her about how the whole reservation was made and even how the "agency" worked (Expedia). Good thing that there were many available rooms and that payment was to be made directly to the hotel, otherwise we could have easily gotten stuck in a situation.||The lobby has a small fireplace, free coffee and tea service and a wide variety of movies to borrow. The service -despite the reservation incident- was prompt and efficient.||Our room, 206 in the third floor (no elevator) was a suite equipped with a fireplace, coffee machine, flat TV, jacuzzi, king-size bed and a small terrace to enjoy a meal or spend some time reading. The view wasn't exactly 5-star but it can be easily made-up with a fresh cup of coffee or cocoa (room service available) and good company. ;)||Free amenities are available (shampoo, soap, bubble bath), towels and linens are fresh, the coffee and condiments are fresh and tasty and the TV channel selection is abundant. We didn't try the room service but we did have breakfast in the restaurant from were room service is provided (downstairs) and it is great.||La Troje restaurant is fairly large and catered for non-guests as well so it seems to be one of the best places for breakfast in town. They serve as a starter sliced and toasted French bread with locally made butter and marmalade. Among other delicacies I really liked their yummy chilaquiles with some sort of a cheese sauce with Poblano pepper on top (gotta try them!) Even if you are not staying at the hotel it is well worth a visit to the restaurant. I found many locals and many people not staying at the hotel so that speaks about its quality.||I'd have to say that for traditional hotels (that is, excluding the cabanas-like accommodations that are abundant and equally good), the La Troje delivers quality. Yes, it lacks the outstanding views of the camp and some of the very high-end luxuries of some cabanas, but if you are a traditional traveler that doesn't want to renounce to modern-life amenities and comforts of the small picturesque town, then this hotel is...

Food and service was outstanding!! We came as a large group; to be specific 14 of us. There was a lady helping park the cars due to lack to parking availability. We were quickly seated, and the waiter took our drinks quickly and our food was very quick to come as well. We tried different variety of chilaquiles and we were all extremely satisfied with our food! I tried their “malteada de chocolate” and it was my favorite. Their menu had a variety of options and next time we come to Mazamitla we will make sure to come...
