Quality Inn Mazatlan is a 91-room hotel at Bugambilias 100, in the Zona Dorada. It has two outdoor pools, a rooftop terrace, a restaurant, a gym and a business centre. A full breakfast, Wi-Fi and self-parking are all free. The Sea Shell City museum is about three minutes on foot, Punta Camarón beach five, the Malecón nine and Playa Sábalo twelve. Rooms sleep four with two double beds, and have air conditioning, ceiling fans, a safe, a coffee maker and a television, with balconies in some. Cats and dogs are welcome for a nightly fee per pet. Guests rate the hotel very highly for cleanliness and location, and it is among the best-value stays in the Zona Dorada.
Location and getting around
The hotel is in the southern part of the Zona Dorada, closer to the old town than the big beachfront resorts. The Sea Shell City museum is a three-minute walk, Punta Camarón beach is five, the Malecón is nine and Playa Sábalo is about twelve, with restaurants and shops nearby.
Plaza Machado and Olas Altas in the old town are a short taxi ride away, and the airport is about half an hour by road. This is a more walkable base than many hotels in the district, and the nearby aquarium and lighthouse can be reached by taxi or bus.
The rooms and facilities
Standard rooms have two double beds and sleep four, which suits families and groups. They have air conditioning with ceiling fans, a safe, a coffee and tea maker, a hair dryer and a television with cable channels, and some rooms have a balcony. The two outdoor pools are the main draw after a day at the beach, and the rooftop terrace is a pleasant place to watch the sunset.
The hotel has a restaurant, a gym and a business centre, an elevator and a front desk that never closes, and the staff speak several languages. A water dispenser and luggage storage are available.
Good to know
The free full breakfast and free parking add real value, and the pool hours run from morning to evening. Check-in is in the afternoon and ends at eleven at night, with no after-hours check-in, so let the hotel know if you will arrive late. Cats and dogs are welcome for a nightly fee per pet, and service animals are exempt.
The hotel does not sit directly on the sand, so you walk to the beach. It suits families, couples, travellers with pets and anyone who wants a pool, breakfast and parking at a moderate price. It is less suited to visitors who want a resort with a beachfront and all-inclusive meals, for whom Oceano Palace or Pueblo Bonito may be a better fit.
