1 flight from Atl to Mex, a connecting flight from Mex to San Luis Potosi, then a 5-6 hour drive or so to Xilitla, I was thrilled to be there. I had no plans for a place to stay. I blundered my way upon Hotel Aurora. The front gates happened to be open as I drove by. Hotel Aurora welcomed my horrible Spanish and settled me in as if they knew me. Lovely rooms with a balcony providing stunning views of Xilitla. I hope to eat with you next time. Thank you again for hosting me.

Bonito hotel y agradable habitación. Un punto a favor es el estacionamiento aunque muy pequeño, ayuda. La ubicación me parece excelente, sobre la carretera principal y muy cerca del centro caminando, menos de 5 minutos. Lamentablemente no estaba abierto el restaurante al parecer por tema de covid. Fuimos a comer al restaurant Cayo's, muy recomendable.

Xilitla SLP lugar mágico... y este Hotel sin duda también lo es... un lugar donde el estacionamiento es la azotea y las habitaciones se encuentran hacia abajo. Vista muy hermosa, cafetería acogedora y un servicio y calidez de primera. Hotel familiar, tanto que te invitan a sus celebraciones. Cada que visito Xilitla es mi lugar para hospedarme.

Excelente atención de los dueños, la posada es básica, pero es un lugar muy agradable para descansar y dormir. Tiene lo que se requiere para estancias cortas, cerca del centro y buen desayuno, limpio y con detalle huastecos. Si vas de fiesta este no es tu lugar, es para descansar que es a lo que fui a estar en contacto con la naturaleza.

Me hospedé allí en Julio del 2016 el precio de la habitación doble me parece bastante accesible, las habitaciones del último nivel, son bastante frescas, a pesar de no tener aire acondicionado y solo un ventilador, muy limpias y con muy buen mantenimiento, un pequeño balcon y mosquitero. El dueño muy amable, la comida que se sirve en el restaurante del hotel, súper rica, la cocinan al momento y a precios decentes. El único detalle sería el estacionamiento tan pequeño, aunque te permiten dejar tu auto frente al molino que está a escasos 20 metros, molino que también es propiedad del dueño del hotel. Se encuentra a la entrada del pueblo pero realmente haces 5 min. a pie al centro del mismo.
