Best Western Posada Freeman

Booked for a night as my Airbnb didn't work out as expected. The hotel is one of the oldest in the city of Mazatlan. The general atmosphere reminded me of Latin American business hotels that appeared in the movies. The location is one of the best in the city, with no doubt, Don't forget to check out the rooftop pool & bar - it's absolutely one of Mazatlan's hidden gems. Highly recommended and great value for money less

Using the Best Western site to make a reservation will not guarantee that you will have a room. That is because this hotel may have the BW name it is independently owned Great location especially for special events. However have a back up plan or a hotel that will honor reservations. Management will unilaterally cancel your reservation without notice if they can get a better offer. Imagine an airline or a cruise ship doing this BW corporate told me they have no control over this practice and the management does not care if you post a negative comment on this rude inconvenient practice. I recommend you stay an one of the nicer boutique hotels in El central which is nearby. Pricing here is much higher Remember this was built in 1944 so it will have its charm The elevator is scary so I take the stairs. After all this is Mexico. less

We had been in Mexico for a month and stayed here on our last night. What a good choice! Definitely recommend the ocean side with balcony. So lovely sitting on our balcony watching the sun set. Room was very nice , staff super helpful and friendly and the complimentary breakfast is the best we have ever had. Worth it for the breakfast!!!! Can’t say enough good about our stay there! less

This hotel is perfectly situated: across the street from the ocean, right on 'the strip' where nightly activity takes place EVERY night, mere footsteps away from about 10 different places to eat, including a GREAT coffee place (Looney Bean), sunsets over the water, rooftop pool, EXCELLENT staff, very reasonable price, amazing 360 degree view from the roof. We will stay at this same hotel again next year! less

I should have known, but this is where my friends chose to be, and next time I will be more forceful about finding something that has been upgraded since the 1940’s. This was probably a first class hotel— in its day. Now? Its a great pool on the roof and the rest? Nah. There may be something lost in translation as my Spanish is poor, but trying to get the service you would expect from this chain was frustrating. The soap is cheap. The sheets are scratchy and the air conditioning is spotty which isn’t everything id hoped for, but its pretty basic, right? Insist and pay for the ocean view. Bring your own soap. Lower your expectations and your standards and you’ll be fine. Oh and don’t hope for quiet. Even at midnight. less
