Emporio Mazatlan

The staff was very attentive and the cleanliness was outstanding. I really appreciated the overall experience, especially how convenient it was to get around town. The only downside was the breakfast buffet—limited options and not particularly impressive. Honestly, you could skip it and find better meals nearby. Despite that small drawback, the hotel still offers great value and is a solid choice for a comfortable stay.

Quality Inn Mazatlan

Excellent service from a friendly and helpful staff throughout our stay. The pools were clean and well-maintained, and the breakfast was surprisingly good—fresh, varied, and satisfying. The only minor issue was that the in-room TVs had an unstable internet connection, which made streaming content a bit frustrating at times. That said, it didn’t take away from the overall great experience. The hotel’s location, comfort, and value make it a standout choice for anyone visiting Mazatlán.

Apartamentos Torre II Condominios - Pet Friendly

I stayed at Apartamentos Torre II Condominios and overall, the experience was positive. The location is convenient with plenty of dining options nearby, and it's easy to get around using public transit. The apartment was clean, well-maintained, and offered good value for the price. One concern was an unexpected charge of 200–300 pesos added during check-in with no mention on the room description. When I asked the staff about it, they admitted they weren’t aware of the fee and suggested checking with another department. It’s a minor issue, but worth noting. The unit is in good condition overall—just a little touch-up paint would help, but it doesn’t affect comfort or functionality. What stood out was that it’s pet-friendly, making it a great choice for travelers with furry companions.

City Express Plus by Marriott Mazatlan

This time we decided to try a different area of Mazatlán instead of our usual spot in Zona Dorada, and we were pleasantly surprised. The neighborhood is quiet, safe, and super convenient—just a short walk to the yacht departure point. When we returned, we noticed a brand-new bar/nightclub right across the street called Sala de Despecho, which turned out to be a perfect spot for some fun just steps from the hotel. The location, vibe, and overall experience made this stay a standout. Highly recommend for travelers looking for a relaxed yet lively atmosphere with easy access to local nightlife.
