Sometimes people say Chiapas and mean the tourist city of San Cristóbal de las Casas in the center of the state of Chiapas. Tuxtla Gutiérrez is another bigger city in Chiapas.
If you are talking about the former, it has very high altitude, is known for its indigenous crafts, and there are multiple cute tourist shops, smaller grocery shops, restaurants and hotels. There are little places all over the city that you can have your laundry done and pay by the pound. It's a quaint place with a lovely plaza. There are places you can get the most wonderful hot chocolate drinks there. It can be chilly at night, so make sure you have a jacket and something warm to sleep in.
If you are talking about Tuxtla, it is hot, and it has a Walmart.... just saying.
Here's some information.
Chiapas is a state, any idea what city? Once you tell us that we can help you even more.
While I've never been to Chiapas, unless you're in a very rural town you'll find everything you typically find in US cities. I frequently go to Tijuana and they have gas stations, supermarkets, movie theaters, bars, restaurants, everything. I would suspect that most cities in Mexico are similar.
Here's a map of Chiapas.
