This hotel was a pleasant surprise! We had an ocean view room that was cleaner than some four star hotels I have stayed in. Martha the housekeeper did a great job and always supplied us with a pitcher of fresh water . Also nice about the hotel was free use of a safety deposit box and free use of the computer in the lobby. The tv had many channels but for those of you who stay here you must check out the remote control and leave a deposit..no biggy.Those of you that are sensitive to noise should know the ocean and some traffic can get noisy..but it didn't bother us much. The views of the ocean from the balcony make up for that! We thought the location ideal for exploring old Mazatlan and would stay here again..especially at these prices! Friendly staff at front desk and throughout the hotel too.The pool area is comfortable ..good for sunning or relaxing..The pool is not heated .Enjoyed breakfasting downstairs at El Shrimp Bucket too...Jay and Carl

I had the worst experience ever! The sheet had blood on and did not get changed next day. I asked to change room but they said they could not do because we did not ask in the morning. Finally after a long talk, we got clean sheets but I had to change myself. People are not friendly.

My husband and I stayed at Hotel La Siesta from Jan 10-14/08. Taxi fare from airport was $26. This was our first visit to Maz and we wanted to explore the old town area before heading to our time share in the hotel zone. The hotel's location is perfect. We were able to walk to many great restaurants, Machado Square, central market etc. We booked through Sell Off Vacations. We found them cheaper than booking with hotel directly. I had emailed the hotel prior to request either room 214 or 314. They replied promptly, saying they would try. I had read on TA that these were nice rooms. Check in was no problem and we were given room 314. We had help with our luggage as there is no elevator. The room was nice and clean and large with a balcony on the side and at the front overlooking the Malecon and the ocean. It had 2 double beds. We found the one we used comfortable and not too hard. There is no phone or blow dryer . TV worked quite well with a variety of english and mexican channels. There is AC but not sure how well it worked aswe didn't need it. Water was supplied in a large pitcher from a water cooler down the hall. Small soap & shampoo also supplied. Face cloths were not supplied. Shower only, no tub. Water always plentiful with good temp. We were well aware that this was a small basic hotel when we booked, but just loved our room with it's wonderful views. It was great sitting on the balcony in the afternoon, in the sun, watching the ocean and life along the Malecon. The hotel also has a pool. We didn't use it as the weather was quite cool but it looked very clean and inviting. They do not supply pool towels. There is a small variety store on the corner of the hotel that supplies beer, liquor, pop snacks etc. Prices reasonable. They offer a safety deposit box at the main desk. We did use it for passport, tickets etc and were given the key. There is a computer with free internet in the lobby.
This is not a hotel for someone who cannot do stairs or is looking for resort style luxury. The staff were all very pleasant and friendly and we found the hotel to have a warm homey feel to it. Definitly spend the extra few dollars to get an ocean front room. We thought it was great and would not hesitate to go back!

Very spacious, clean. Sits right cross to the beach, with $10 more you are getting a ocean view room with a walk out balcony. We had a corner room with two-side window. It feels like a home not a hotel. The court of hotel is also very interesting, with a big tree planted in the middle. My shower room also has a window look out to the ocean, lovely. It's all come under $60. Only complaint is that the wireless internet signal is too weak in my room, I have to either walk out or sit in lobby to email. I will post video clip for this hotel and another hotel I just recently post review (Tryp H in Sao Paulo, Brazil) soon
