For folks who aren't familiar with Guadalajara, or a little wary of Mexican hotels (with which we have had nine years of experience), this was a unique breath of fresh air. The neighborhood is clean, safe, quiet, and beautiful. The lodging is comfortable, detail-oriented, and just feels like home. Quite comfortable. Mr. Dickinson is a great host, very friendly and...

I have to admit that I was surprised to even see a review from you Tod! As you were well aware, you arrived at a very busy time here at the Dickinson Guest House! I had hoped to have a longer chat with you and your business here from Leon, GTO. But it just did not seem to happen as... More

Location...location...location...easy to locate and wonderful access to the carretera (expressway) for those shopping trips toTalquepaque and Tonala. Residential area centrally located filled with trendy restaurants and shops and all within walking distance. Off the street parking was another plus. A very comfortable guest house with a terrific breakfast. The host was extremely accommodating. Will definitely stay here again. More

We had the opportunity to visit Guadalajara whilst on our vacation in Puerto Vallarta. The proprietor is a wonderful host and made us very welcome. The house is large and very comfortable and comes with all the modern conveniences that you sometimes need when you're away from home. The area is truly beautiful and we felt very safe walking to...

Thanks Yvonne for the review! It is always fun to have guests stay here that really take me serious when I ask them to please make themselves at home! It was nice shopping with you for those great pictures at the weekly art showing at Parque Chapalita. I hope to see you two again if you have time to make... More

I stayed with James from July 19th until August 4th. It was an unplanned emergency trip. Thankfully, James was at Guadalajara Airport to meet me and help me cope with the situation I found myself in. As soon as I got to the house, James provided me with a local cell phone and I was extremely happy to find that... More

YG, Thanks for the kind words. As we know, all trips are not for business or pleasure. I am happy that in the end all worked out in the best interest of all concerned. I was happy that you were able to take care of the things in Guadalajara that needed dealing with, while being able to take care of... More

I stayed with James for a second time from Sept 30th thru October 7th. I was already familiar with the house and Chapalita and everything was as perfect as it had been early the previous year. The freedom to come and go with one's own keys, the comfortable and clean room, the reliable and fast WiFi, cable TV to enjoy,... More

It does take time out of busy schedules, but if the ratio is one review out of 15 travelers it is appreciated more than you know. And to add pictures is... More

I was truly fortunate to have discovered the Dickinson Guest House when I travelled to watch the Pan Am games in Guadalajara. I spent 10 days at this charming B and B. The room was delightful; clean and comfortable. My room had an HD TV with many English language channels, music, outstanding WIFI (fast and dependable) and a charming balcony... More

Like several of the recent reviewers, I'm also a repeat customer. In the span of two years (since I was last here) I've noticed that the center of gravity in Guadalajara seems to be moving in the direction of this neighborhood. New hotels, offices, retail and restaurants, and more people. And to be in a spacious house in a leafy... More

It is always nice to have past guests return to the safe environs of Chapalita. I was happy to help with the passport, but it was you that had to fill out all of the on-line forms and print them out! It used to be a long process. But we did very well considering the short time it took to... More

Thank you so much for the kind review. It is a priority to make my guests feel at home, and know they are welcome to use the entire property at will other than the other private guest rooms!

I have been home for a while now,but wanted to let travelers, especially business travelers that the news about the safety of Mexico does not seem to be as bad as they make it look on the news.
