Exceptional

Liked: Delightful

Very pleasant

Liked: Very unique and pretty
Disliked: We barely had hot water for showers

Great staff, great food, great...

Liked: The people make this place work at a high level. They appear to be family, as a high functioning team often appears to be. But hey, they may be family (high-functioning, not dysfunctional) and that makes it work well. They all seem invested in the success of the hotel and I believe they will achieve their goal. Whenever we had a request (for information, taxis, ice, whatever), they accommodated it. I learned more from the hotel manager (owner?) than I did from reading guide books. Location, location, location. My wife was limited in her mobility due to a surgical operation, but she was able to reach, on foot, all of the spots we hoped to visit. It is close to just about everything. The food is excellent. The breakfast was included and that is a significant addition to your stay. If the hotel fails (and I don't believe it will) the restaurant will succeed.
Disliked: I would not lay this negative part of the review at the feet of the hotel's staff. We were in the back room of the hotel and, unfortunately, there was construction going on next door to this room. That is outside of their control. We put up with the noise for a few days but gave up when the smell of the construction operation's "glue" (?), or whatever it was, became intolerable. After requesting a new room, they immediately moved us and our experience was greatly enhanced. We enjoyed our stay.

Superb

Lots of stray dogs and...

Liked: The staff is AMAZING! The facilities are more than enough for a solo traveler.
Disliked: All of the stray dogs on the street are hard to get used to, but they are not aggressive. A first time experience. The locals are very comfortable with the dogs.

Perfect place to stay in...

Liked: The location and the shower.
Disliked: The restaurant, the breakfast was very limited to just eggs.

Superb

Liked: We needed a respite from our power being out for several days, and this hotel was able to accommodate. Staff was so helpful and friendly, and the restaurant was great! Since we live here, not your typical tourists, but a great find we will be back to visit!
Disliked: At first, no handle for the cold water in the shower- immediately resolved after reporting.

One of the best vacations...

Liked: Casa Yol
Disliked: Casa Yollotzin is unmatched in the city of Ajijic. Not only does the hotel have a ton of character, its restaurant, Mario’s, is hands down one of the best in the area. The staff are top notch. The owners, Eric and Fabian, run a tight ship and have trained their staff to run a very successful hotel/restaurant/bar business. They are located in the heart of the town, a hop, skip and a jump to the plaza, literally, and the bank and taxis, and .25 miles down to the Malecon. And cute shops and restaurants along the way. (The Malecon is .5 mile one way and their are local vendors there every day)Eric, who is also the head chef of Mario’s, prepared a traditional Mexican dish that is only served in August and September, Chile en Nogada, 10 out of 10! I’m telling you, this place and its staff are so much fun and so positive and upbeat, they are the reason we will come back. We felt like part of the family. Every morning they brought coffee and tea to our room with a couple of cookies. What better way to start your day! We tried a lot of things on Mario’s menu and loved everything, even their hamburger and french fries. It was very sad to say good-bye. I could go on and on. I consider anyone who stays very lucky to have this experience in their life

Cover all your bases with...

Liked: The staff was wonderful. The room was clean and efficient. The bathroom in my room was small with a small shower - not really a problem but a bit of a contortion - and the lighting very bad for a woman needing to put on makeup. (Unbalanced light so one side looks great and no idea how the other side looks lol) Slept very comfortably in the bed and the ceiling fan was sufficient cooling. Bug free room. Loved the French press morning coffee and very generous and delicious included breakfast options. Good service. Kind staff. Excellent location.
Disliked: No full length mirror in the room.
