This is a fairly new hotel in the marina district of Mazatlan. The property is nice and clean, with fairly spartan rooms, but quite adequate and comfortable. The staff is helpful and has a good command of English. The pool is small but nice, it was a perfect place to observe the eclipse. The biggest problem with the pool is that it is 4ft deep all around except for a 3ft deep area around the bar. There is only a ladder to get in and out, no stairs. The worst part of this property is that it is in a new area with little around the area and is not easily walkable. There are a couple of restaurants across the street, but unless you like sushi there is not much available. Across a very busy divided 6-lane street is the marina, about half a mile away. There the choices are sushi or pizza. A nicer-sounding place recently closed and is being remodeled to something else, Another half mile away is a tostadaria which is OK, but not great. About 3/4 of a mile up the busy street are three or four small restaurants, but basically, you need a car or a taxi to get anywhere worth eating at. There is food available at the hotel, the complimentary continental breakfast is adequate, but not expansive, or you can order hot items off the menu at a charge. Another problem is that you cannot simply charge to the room. You can set up a prepaid voucher to charge against but it seems like a clumsy way to handle things. When the pool bar is open, pool snacks are available, the hamburger is pretty good. A good hotel for business, but wouldn't be my first choice for a vacation. For a few days around an eclipse, it was fine.
