I just stayed here for a week during Dias de los Muertos and Posada de Chencho was one of the few places available that I found. What a nice surprise it was. Toño and Flor are so very lovely and helpful in every way. My Spanish was lacking but I really didn't need to ask for much. The breakfasts were outstanding. Every morning we had seasonal fruit, fresh bread and a special egg dish of some sort... all very delicious. Oh and I forgot about the hot chocolate!
The rooms are very basic but very clean. There wasn't a room safe, per se, but a lockable cabinet for valuables. Water pressure is lacking but the water was at least hot. If we showered at "off" hours, I would always make sure with Toño that the hot water was turned on.
The hotel was fairly quiet, as it is outside of the center (about a 15-20 minute walk.
If you need a taxi, it's a 5 minute drive into the centro for about 50-60 pesos.)...except for that day when the comparsa ended up right outside (or close to the hotel) at 3:30 AM!
There was also a pretty patio area and hammocks where you can relax when you're not out touring about. The rooms do NOT have air conditioning, only a fan. It seemed to not be an issue as the windows don't face the outside where the sun can come in and heat up a room. (most face the courtyard)
Highly recommended. Also they only take cash, so be aware.
