I spent two nights here. Excellent facility, location, and staff. Booked on Booking.com for just about $55 US a night. The building and room were spotless. Bed to dream on. Very good A/C and hot water. Pool temp. very nice, not cold. Didn't use spa or Jacuzzi, but they are in a nice spot on the roof (3rd floor) and have lounge chairs. With an hour's notice, you can get a massage or spa treatment. Breakfast was very nice, the menu is not very extensive but the food is high quality.
Walking distance to about 10 Catholic churches with baroque architecture. Walking distance to the Plaza de Arte and the Jardín de Zenea, where you can dance in the square until at least 1:00 almost every night, which I did with locals, they were very friendly. Close enough to tour town but very quiet at night. I walked around extensively at night alone and felt very safe.
I hardly ever write reviews, but I am doing this one because of the service. I asked for the bus route to take to get to the Cimaterio National Park just out of town. They looked it up for me. The bus stop was 2 blocks away. Two minutes after I got there the desk clerk comes running up to me and said that they had made a mistake and the bus I needed didn't stop nearby. He helped me with a cab. Now THAT is service. BTW, the birdwatching in Cimaterio is pretty good. Also the walking and mountain biking with free admission.
All in all San Xavier is an A+. English spoken fairly well. This is not the Ritz Carlton. Get a room on the 1st. floor. No elevator. It is a boutique hotel in a colonial building. Try it. Very affordable and a superior place for the price.
