We stayed here 2 nights in October. We were the only guests there! The rooms are good size and quaint with beautiful tile in the bathroom & lovely stained glass in the windows (although, some of the furniture - dresser, wardrobe - is pretty worn and tired) Each room is different - we saw several and they were all lovely with a rather homey feel. We slept comfortably. We ended up with a room with twin beds for the air conditioning and because it was a shorter walk for my husband. But, some have 1 double, some 2 doubles and I believe I recall seeing a queen in one room - there may be other configurations as well. Not all rooms have air conditioning - ours did but we found that it got so cool in the evenings that the 2nd night we opened the windows and let the cool fresh air in which actually did a better job of cooling the room & help clear the slightly musty smell which was probably due to disuse. The hotel sits high up off the highway and overlooks the highway and the river. There's not much traffic on the highway and what little there was did not bother us. It's just a short drive into Batopilas. Since we were the only guests the restaurant was closed so we had our meals in town. But, they brought us coffee in the AM - granted it was instant but we appreciated it. We did not see the dining room. It seems odd that no one else was there. On the other hand, there is no sign that we saw. Perhaps during their busier season the place is identified. We actually ran into a group of tourists in town who would have liked to stay there but the gate at the bottom of the long flight of stairs to the hotel is locked (our driver hit the horn when we arrived & they let us in) and with no signage they weren't sure it was a hotel. Pity. Not sure what the cost to stay here is - we had a bundled trip arranged by a US company who then works with a travel group in Mexico. We would definitely stay there again if we re-visit the area.
