First impressions were excellent with a very nice entrance & lobby as well as fantastic front desk staff. My spanish is shaky at best and I was at the mercy of the english ability of the staff and not once was I disappointed, with courteous and professional treatment my entire 8 day stay with the concierge personally negotiating taxi rates and making sure the drivers knew the location I was heading well. The restaurant had a well laid out breakfast/lunch buffet that was reasonably priced, and once again the staff was top notch. Beware the price of alcohol at the restaurant bar though, 2 rye and gingers ran me a little more than I was expecting. The fitness facility was decent if a little underwhelming, though the pool was about as private as could be expected from an outdoor pool in the middle of a huge Mexican city. Guadalajara's elevation will test your cardiovascular fitness, so be prepared! The rooms weren't as nice as you would expect from your initial impression of the lobby, but they're still quite nice and comfortable...the beds are a little hard, but I didn't find myself losing any sleep over it. Overall, a very pleasant stay, and though I'd like to try out some of the other 4+ star locations in the city, due to how well the staff treated me, including their english speaking ability, I will very likely call the Presidente my home away from home next time visit GDL in a few months.

I stayed at this hotel for 8 days and I ended up changing rooms twice. I am very disapointed since the structure is beautiful and high class but, when you're in is TOTALLY different. Bathrooms are SO old, NO maintenance, holes on the bathroom tub, door handles loose. The personnel never smiled. I did like a bell boy who was very pleasant and helpful with ideas to do in the city. He work the 11pm shift. He's the ONLY one who gets + reviews. Wrote an email to management and ONLY got ""sorry for inconvinience"".

The Presidente Intercontinental Hotel in Guadalajara is located in a prosperous area of the city, just blocks away from the Expo Guadalajara Convention Center and only 10 minutes from the downtown by car or taxi. The rooms are clean and comfortable, and the concierge service is excellent. The outdoor pool area is pleasant, if a little wanting for decoration. The hotel lobby has an active, buzzing vibe because of its proximity to the convention center. It's also just across the street from the (aging) Plaza del Sol Shopping Center. We'll be staying here for our next weekend getaway.

Just got back from Guadalajara on a business trip. After 2 nights, switched to a different hotel. Sound of elevator dinging right outside my door was a bit much to handle. Also, these are the most uncomfortable beds I have ever slept on. I work in Mexico a lot, and realize a lot of the beds are naturally hard, but these were over the top hard, and the pillows were like sleeping on pancakes.
