Hotel Lindo Ajijic B&B

8/10 Good
"This was our second stay at the Hotel Lindo. Although we were satisfied with our most recent stay, we were a bit disappointed with the lack of hot water for showers and the cloudy water in the swimming pool. Otherwise, like before, the views from the hotel are stunning, the location is central to shops and restaurants, the breakfast included with the room was delicious and filling, the room was spacious and well-appointed, and the staff were so very helpful and friendly. I recommend the hotel to work on better delivery of hot water to the rooms and improved pool maintenance."
