“Great location, great value”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 July 2011

I stayed here with my family this week and thought it was a very good value. I would definitely return. Earlier that day I emailed the hotel (using my poor Spanish) to request a room , and they were expecting us when we arrived. We parked our car in the garage for free, which was nice. The location is great - overlooking the Tepic main square and the cathedral - and it is very easy to find. The hotel was modest but comfortable and clean, with a flat screen TV and cable, which my kids enjoyed. The beds are firm, but not uncomfortable, and the shower was nice. AC worked flawlessly. Wireless connection was free and reliable..

We skipped dinner at the hotel restaurant because the atmosphere didn't seem inviting ( I think it was only because they use CF bulbs, which always seems institutional to me). This was a poor choice, as our meal elsewhere was not good. Plus, in the morning the hotel restaurant was PACKED with local business people (and the media, who were in town covering the elections), so it was obviously a decent place to eat. Indeed, we had breakfast there, and it was fine - nothing outstanding, but certainly better than the meal we had elsewhere the night before.

Given the cleanliness, the amenities, and the location, this hotel is a great value and the most practical place to stay when visiting Tepic.

Room Tip: ASk for a room overlooking the Main square (el Jardin)

“Best Tepic metropolitan area, good place to stay”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 May 2011

This Hotel is just placed in the pest place in town, is like everything is around without too much walking. Tepic Town is quiet but seems to be the higher the better so street noise will not disturb, anyway this is not a hassle. People at front desk are speedy with a sincere smile on their face everytime. Only complaint with the restaurant, there seem to be visited by many people but in my opportunity the plate were not nice nor tasty as i tried in other places. this is not a luxury hotel but for the price you get confort, cleanness and a very nice spot in town.

Room Tip: fourth floor cathedral view

“Great Experience”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 January 2011

Hotel Fray Junipero Serra is located in the heart of Tepic across from the Plaza and the Cathedral. It is a short walk to shopping. The staff is very accommodating and made every effort to meet our needs.

“Stunning view”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 February 2007

people found this review helpful

I was given a great room on the top floor overlooking the plaza. I had fabulous view of the surrounding countryside and a huge cross on top of a hill. Tepic was a pleasant surprise. The hotel restaurant was more like a cafeteria service but some of the very friendly local ladies were celebrating and insisted I join them.

“Perfect location”

This hotel is centrally located. It is in front of the plaza in Tepic. Accross the street from the Catedral. We were there on a Sunday. There were many vendors in the plaza also there were Huicholes selling all their handmade crafts. The hotel has nice clean rooms, cable tv, nice restaurant on premises and free local calls. Overall a very nice stay.
