I've stayed at this hotel several times in the past 10 years as part of a charitable trip, staying in both the ground and upper floors, both north and south wings, and If I had my choice, I would not stay here again ... unless I was there for a loud party. The hotel is very resonant, and noises carry easily - it's made out of cinder blocks and tile floors. Simple conversation in a hallway is amplified (good luck napping during the day). Rooms facing the street are subject to noise all day long from the market. And on weekends it can be difficult to sleep before 2 a.m. - the banquet rooms are often busy with wedding receptions or other parties, and the music thumps throughout the hotel. Room keys are frequently deactivated - be ready to walk back to the front desk every day. The front desk does not exchange currency, and instead sends my friends and me to the small bar in the billiards room (even when nobody is there), or to the cashier in the restaurant, which is within arms' reach from the front desk. The exercise room is pathetic - for the past 6 years, the treadmill has been inoperable for anything but walking upon by a 98-lb person (the tread "bottoms-out" as soon as you start running); the stationary bike seat tilts backwards 90 degrees (which might be an interesting feature in a different kind of hotel); and the "weight bench" wobbles, as if the nuts and bolts were tightened by the same 98-lb weakling. This year was the first time I saw someone "fixing" the equipment - "fixes" which lasted until I tried running on the treadmill and my friend tried riding the bike. House-keeping staff are attentive and friendly. The breakfast buffet is fantastic, and the waiters are wonderful - it's a destination for the locals. less

We've stayed here twice a year for several years on our way to & from our Mazatlan condo. We have always enjoyed our stay especially the Tony Roma's room service & the fabulous Best Western breakfast buffet. This year was particularly pleasant because of Katrina. Her good English & extremely helpful manner make her a valuable asset to this hotel. We were also pleasantly surprised by the new carpeting & refreshed decor in the always immaculate rooms. less

Directions from highway not good. The hotel is difficult to find. We needed to pay a taxi driver to lead us to the hotel. After we finally got there everyone at the hotel was very helpful. We had a good stay. less

The hotel is decent and clean. They assigned me first to a room that was not very clean, and where we saw a bug. The staff changed me to a different room, which was much cleaner. There was not a refrigerator in the room or microwave, so be prepared for that. The hotel is located at a good spot, and the stay was pleasant overall. I do recommend the hotel considering the area where it is located. less
