Superb location in old town Mazatlan
Guests say
that for anything you want to see and do in old Mazatlan, from culture to the
coast, this hotel could not be in a better location. You will be just short
walk away from the central square, market, restaurants and the beach.
positive:
Excellent suites
Guests say that these
suites are really more like apartments. They are very spacious and well
equipped, the kitchens including a full size fridge and all the utensils you
need. Sofas and beds are very comfortable. Suites are found to be spotlessly
clean throughout, including the all-important bathroom.
positive:
Discreet but helpful staff
Guests like that the hotel
is very relaxed, saying that the staff leave them alone to enjoy their trip but
are always available if they have any questions or need any assistance. When
they do, they find them to be very helpful.
Negative Reviews
negative:
No breakfast available
While guests
have a kitchen, and so are able to self-cater, some guests prefer not to have
to cook on holiday and say that it would be nice to at least have the option to
have breakfast at the hotel, however, there are cafes conveniently close by.
negative:
Some noise from nearby bars
There are some bars just
across the street from the hotel and a nightclub on the corner. Some guests say
that the noise of music from the bars, as well as from people out on a night,
can be a disturbance, particularly on a weekend.
negative:
Décor a bit dated
Though not a major issue, some guests have said that the décor and furniture here might be considered to be dated by some guests. This is something to bear in mind if you prefer a modern finish.
