My lady and I stayed in wonderful Quinta las Acacias from September 14th-16th. We were on a worldtrip, I was planning to ask her to marry me in romantic Guanajuato. I first tried for several months to get a deal with Villa Maria Cristina, the guy there 'helping' me was lazy as hell. Didn't respond to my urgency of romantic activities, was really not customer oriented. So I finally decided to leave Carlos Quilantán Hurtado for what he is, and while my time was running out, I decided to try at Quinta. And immediately, Ms Ana Perez Ordaz really helped me out in a week, made me a good deal and I know she liked the romantic idea involved in my request. How wonderful it was that when we arrived at this fairytale place, she told me she had arranged for the Master Suite (including jacuzzi)!
My girlfriend didn't know about anything, and on the evening I proposed to her, everything was set up beautifully...roses, candles, champagne, delicious food, excellent service, music in the background, and I asked for a random guitar player to get an even more Mexican feel to my proposal. Turns out the guitarrista she hired was the director of the local music university. This guy gave us shivers with his beautiful voice. So I'd like to thank Ms Perez Ordaz and her courteous staff for everything. You gave us the most wonderful stay during our 5-month travel. We'll definitely come back. And by the way, my girl said ' yes'!

My wife and stayed at the Quinta Las Acacias Dec. 20 – 25, 2008 we found the hotel be very nice and the staff could not be nicer.

When we first arrived at 6:30am from LAX we were greeted by a driver we had asked the hotel to arrange for us (fee $35.00+ tip).

The hotel did us a great favor by allowing us to check in and gave us the room we had reserved for our stay, they didn’t have to at this time of day, we were grateful the room was not being occupied.

Dec. 20, after sleeping till early afternoon, we decided to take the walk to downtown, as people have posted it was a 15 minutes’ walk (downhill) and was very pleasant walk.

Dec. 21. We had breakfast at the hotel restaurant the food was good but nothing extra ordinary. As a matter of fact I order scrabble eggs with a side of bacon and received an omelet made with ham, bacon and cheese, I know this is trivial but is the details that make a great hotel a great hotel. We had dinner in town that night.

Dec. 22 we ordered room service for breakfast and ordered the same as the previous day and everything was perfect.

This day we ordered room service for dinner as it was part of a package we purchased. The food was OK, and after that we only had breakfast at the hotel.

Overall, the hotel is very nice the staff is great, I know some people on this forum have made reference to Ana Pérez Ordaz the hotel manager, we received a call a couple of days prior to our departure, from the hotel confirming the car arrangements I told them that Ana had been in contact with me to make those arrangements. The lady then told me that Ana is no longer with hotel. I personally didn’t have any difficulties at all with the hotel and would highly recommend.

This is an excellent hotel in every respect. Before our stay, we had asked the hotel to purchase tickets for us to two Festival Cervantino events. The first was at noon the day we arrived, and we got to the hotel around 11. As soon as we walked in and said who we were, the manager – Ana Pérez Ordaz – pulled out our tickets and gave us directions. Throughout our three-night stay the front desk was invariably helpful. The only trouble we had was following directions that involved the tunnels that undergird Guanajuato. These are not tunnels like those under the Hudson from New Jersey to New York. Guanajuato tunnels have pedestrians and parking, and, more importantly, options – turns and forks. We needed directions on how to proceed when in the tunnel, and didn’t know to ask.

When we got back after the concert, we were taken to a large, beautiful room, made into two spaces by placement of furniture. The room had pleasing folk art and Dia de los Muertos figures. I don’t know if the Day of the Dead figures are there only seasonally, as this was the season. The walk to the room is through a garden featuring prickly pear cactus trees.

We had lunch the first day in the hotel’s restaurant, which opens at 2 pm. Good menu, good food, with reasonably priced wine, including half bottles for those of us who reserve full bottles for dinner. We can recommend the cream of cilantro soup and the arrachera. (We can also recommend the restaurant just down the street, Lindo y Sabroso, which has an English menu that we needed to request.)

Breakfasts were included with our room, and they were a highlight. On different days, we had chilaquiles, quesadillas with pumpkin filling, crepes and an intense apricot sauce, small tacos filled with huitlacoche (spelled cuitlacoche on the menu), and torta Aztec a, with chile sauce, tortillas, chicken, cheese, and probably more. Many of these would have made fine dinners. They came with fruits, juices, and pastries. We ordered off the priced menu, but were not asked to sign – the staff knew that the meals were included.

Our stay at this hotel was great. It was the first stop of our honeymoon in Guanajuato, and this hotel exceeded our expectations. It was very elegant and clean. Very private as well. Walking out of our room, there was a very peaceful garden (we stayed in one of the newer rooms). The outside of the hotel is infront of a park, which gives you a good taste of peaceful, classic Guanajuato.

The breakfast was great!! We ate the room service breakfast a couple of times, and it was really good. I am very picky with my Mexican food, and their breakfast felt like it was homemade. They price: only the tip. Can't beat that.

Also, we took the walk from the hotel to downtown Guanajuato a couple of times. It took about 15 minutes, but it was a very pleasant walk. The one night we got lazy to take the walk was only a ~$5 cab ride.

We rented a car and left it parked outside of the hotel. The reason we got the car was because we had a stop at San Miguel de Allende & Dolores. We did spend 3 nights at this great hotel, and we really had to think about it hard before leaving to our next destination.

The staff was very friendly at the hotel. They would call places we weren't sure if they were open, etc.

We learned about this hotel here on this website, and we were not let down. Thanks to all the other reviewers!! I'll try to upload video/pictures in the near future.
