Hotel - Motel near Tonala bus station?

Does anyone know of a good, clean hotel close to the Tonala bus station?

On this current trip of mine, I was supposed to get into Tonala at 7 p.m. We got held up for Customs at the border for 8 hours. My bus didn't arrive until 2:30 a.m. I'm a pretty good "Plan B" planner, but my plan didn't extend to getting into town in the literal middle of the night. I ended up taking a cab on the Chapala road and got to Lakeside at about 3:30 a.m. The cab I was in was the only vehicle on the road, not a good feeling in the middle of the night (also this ride happened the same night the horrible staging of bodies was happening in Ixtl. and it's creepy and scary to realize I was zipping along on that road at exactly that time).

I really don't like traveling the Chapala road that time of night (OK, early morning) and would like to know of a good fall-back position -- a hotel near the Tonala bus station -- should such early morning arrivals occur again for me or my visiting friends.

Thanks!

I have never personally been to the Tonala bus station.

Their website appears to be down.

Thanks, Cheena - both of these look like good possibilities.

My computer skills seem to be slipping as I have spent a couple of hours trying to find the "Officially Approved Lists for Restaurants & Hotels in Tonala" published by a member of this forum but no luck so far.

Again their website seems to be down but this restaurant is a short walk from either of the mentioned hotels.

Great, thanks. I appreciate the recommendations.
