Best Western Hotel Posada Freeman Zona Dorada

The Best Western in the Gold Zone has mixed reviews so we initially only booked for one night. But after having quiet restful comfortable sleep and enjoying the breakfast buffet we decided to stay for our second night. The hotel is small by some standards, but as such it is quiet and the common areas are not overrun. There are banks with ATMs, money change locations, several restaurants and beach bars withing walking distance. There are cabs, pulmonias and buses passing right by the hotel. There is parking onsite. We would certainly stay in this Best Western on another trip to lovely Mazatlan. less

This is a real gem. It is a small hotel in the historic area. It is well Located in a quieter area of Mazatlan. It is across the street from the beach so make sure to request a sea view room. We had a small balcony with two chairs which was nice in he evening. The best part is the rooftop bar and pool. The rooftop gives you a great view of the Old Historical area and is the tallest building in the area. They do offer breakfast. Their English is very limited but that didn’t matter. I would highly recommend this funky Mexican hotel. P.S. Wouldn’t remember eating here as their food is just ok. Get out and go to one of the other restaurants near the main church. less

Hotel Posada Freeman Zona Dorada is a good hotel in a great location. Every single one of the hotel staff was friendly, interested in their work and helpful. Breakfast buffet is quite good, service was excellent, and it's served until noon -- ours was included in our room price. Internet signal was poor on the 4th floor, excellent by the pool and in the lobby. The maintenance man and a bell boy fixed my suitcase, which was damaged on a train. I must say, though, that a player piano in the lobby plays ALL DAY in a loud, treble register, quite irritating even when I'm only spending a few minutes in the lobby -- please turn it way down and turn it off most of the time. Otherwise, it's a good hotel. less

Do not, I repeat, DO NOT stay here. There are two Best Western Posada Freemans in Mazatlan. The building downtown is ok, but the one in the Golden Zone is a mess. It's very noisy with clubs right outside the hotel. It smells. The breakfast is crap. And the staff are clearly on the defense. Either on purpose or by accident there are positive reviews for this property which should be for the other one. It was my mistake, and I should have known better, but I trusted the online reviews which are a mess. I paid for two weeks and wanted to leave early, but they wouldn't return my unused week or even put me up in the downtown hotel. Just to add to the annoyance, they charged $5 for a replacement room card. less

Located in the Golden Zone, this facility is right on the beach will lots of beach walking and a shallow beach making swimming easy for all family members. The front desk staff are delightful and helpful, while the wait staff in the restaurant are attentive but not intrusive. The breakfast buffet is a delightful way to start your day. less
