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...

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...

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...

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,...

PCee, It is always special to those of us who have these small business' to receive kind words from past guests who take the time to share their experiences. 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...

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...

Thank you Lynn for arriving when you did. October was a busy month and although we had a full house for the Pan Am Games, you and your friends made it special. I am back on my horse so to speak and ready for a busy holiday season. Keep thinking Olympics and I am sure it will happen. It was...

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...

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...

This was my second time traveling to Guadalajara to see Dr Lazaro Cardenas for plastic surgery. Made the mistake the first time and stayed other than the Dickinson Guest House. My second time was 100% better. James has a pretty, comfortable, peaceful place to stay.Although I took my sister-in-law and didn"t need as much help James was there every few...

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! You made the wise choice of the well respected Dr. Lazaro Cardenas for your procedures. It is just a few blocks from...

We returned to GDL for another visit to our Doctor at Interafertily Clinic; thus we went back to the most comfortable, affordable and least stressful place we could find - Dickinson Guest House. I shop around for prices and services, but no where else offered us the services we found with Dickinson. We had a local cell phone to use...

It's always good to see you two when you come back! Sorry this is a bit late, but October has had me jumping already and I did take a couple weeks off. So I need to start writing some reviews of my own. I hope your results were as expected, and I will follow up with a personal note to...

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. I had a reservation at a hotel close to the Expo center that turned out to be not a real fun experience....

It was nice to have you here for business. I am a bit confused as to why I rate higher in business compliments and have received and award to frame for my walls congratulating my business services. But I suspect that was meant to go only to hotels. I'm sure they will figure it out. I look forward to your...

This was my second time traveling to Guadalajara to see Dr Lazaro Cardenas for plastic surgery. I decided again to stay at Dickinson Guest House as I had such a good experience last time. This time I chose to stay in the larger guest room which cost a bit more but includes an extended breakfast. Jim has upgraded his Internet...

It was good to see you again! I trust all is well now that you have had time to catch up with things. I am happy that you noticed the change in business services. It has been hard to work with some companies here, but in the end I finally got the good speed that is now available in this...

We didn't know what to expect of GDL having never been there. So, we chose Dickinson because we felt that having an English speaking Mexican resident could best inform us about getting around. The house was very spacious. The owner was very accomodating and anticipated our needs. We were there for a medical visit. You can use the American phone...
