It is a very pleasant hotel with a lot of services as swimming pool, old booling, billards (american and french), badmington, tennis... perfect if you got children but it is also a very charming hotel for couples.

The rooms are calm and spacious with a lovely garden view and you can eat in a patio or inside (for a reasonnable price)
Once a week you got a typical dinner with typical dancers.

Fot the location, it is about 5 mn of the center by car but when you go to Patzcuaro, you go 1 day down town, and the rest of the journey on the lake or do the turn of it.

We stayed for two nights at the Best Western Posada de Don Vasco, outside of the city center in Patzcuaro. The hotel is not right on one of the main plazas, and is best if you need something to do at the hotel. It is in a sort of a compound, with free guarded parking.

The hotel is very large, and was not very full when we stayed there. There is a restaurant and bar, and the hotel is kept very clean. It is older and full of funky personality. We had a room with two double beds. The sheets were lovely. We also saw rooms with one single, two single beds or a king bed.

The best thing about the hotel for us was all of the activities available. There was a game room with two (manual) full-sized bowling lanes, pool tables, foosball tables and ping pong tables! The lighting was just horrible, but the kids loved the room. Outside was a pool, a badminton court and a tennis court.

Service was very attentive and polite. We had drinks delivered to us in the game room. The bellhop came to get our bags instantly! All of the staff worked to get us anything we needed. There are two restaurants - one facing the road, and an interior courtyard restaurant. Both are nice, but the courtyard restaurant was lovely. There were other families staying there. While the service was top-notch, the hotel was relaxed and not stuffy.

This hotel is in provincial Mexico, and is not brand-new and 100% kept up perfectly. However, if you love Mexico and all of its quirky charm, this is a good choice.
