La Siesta Hotel Mazatlan Mexico. Best Hotel Deals & Reviews

Date of Stay: May, 2009

We typically stay at 5-star resorts but decided we'd try something more "quaint" this time. We were very pleasantly surprised and had a wonderful time at La Siesta! The rooms were thoroughly cleaned everyday and we loved our maid ([...]). You need to take your own face cloths as they only have bath towels and no wash cloths. No hair dryers either. Our room faced the ocean so we could sit out on the balcony and enjoy the sea. The location is fantastic! Just a short walk to the historical part of Mazatlan where we found some great art stores and gallaries with very affordable prices. The food at the Shrimp Bucket was great but it took us a while to find any other good food. Towards the end of our stay we found a restaurant called I Love Lucy and the food was fantastic. The pool at the hotel was small and there were only a handful of lounging chairs for sunbathing plus it's surrounded by walls so no breeze at all...very, very hot. We spent most of our sunning on the beach just across the street. Had a great time and would recommend La Siesta!

What a deal!! One of the lowest priced hotels in Mazatlan with across the street from a nice beach (we upgraded to ocean view, and what a view it was, for an additional $10/night). Very clean, large room (try to get a corner room). Consistent hot water for showering. Beds are not plush and pillows a bit lumpy but we had good nights' sleep. Even though it's overlooking the Malecon and a busy street, the doors and windows did a good job of sealing off the noise. Within walking distance of the Machado, cathedral, market and theater. The downstairs restaurant, El Shrimp Bucket, offered nice breakfasts and dinners, inside or outdoors. The only things lacking that we'd have liked were a refrigerator and coffee pot. The pool area is very nice, but the water was quite cool.

We spent two weeks at the Hotel Siesta and loved every minute of it except up to the last night when our room was entered and some items removed: a camera, a leathermans tool, a pair of sunglasses and a change purse with money (and the key to the safety lock box at reception which entailed calling a locksmith). There was no sign of a forced entry and I have to assume it was an inside job (maids? maintenance? who else would have had keys?). Thank goodness I had placed our passports, credit cards etc in the lock box (as strongly recommended by the management). The odd thing was the lady at reception showed no curiosity, interest, or even care that this had happened to us (no apologies or anything!). And as we were leaving that morning, there wasn't much follow-up we could do. So my recommendation is: Go ahead and stay there - it's a great spot - but keep all valuables (even down to cameras, i-pods, etc) in the lock box at all times.

We were plesently surprised at La Siesta. The rooms were a good size and very clean. The belconey was fun to seat and watch people come and go on the mellacon (mostly Mexican famillies with there children and there new bikes or roller blades from ex-mas)it was very entertaining and relaxing after a day of touring or being at the beach. Stone island was my favorite spot. This was our third time to Mazatlan and we love this area much better then the hotel zone. Number one, there are no timeshare people bugging you. There are lots of restaurants to choose from, althought the Shrimp bucket, which is connected to the hotel was not very good when we ate there. and we ate there more then once. There are much better and cheeper restaurants close by. We were there over New Years and the weather was good. A couple of nights you needed a sweater or light jacket but still very comfortable. The day time temps. about 80-85. We will be back and will stay at the La Siesta again. Next time we'll bring our children.

I stayed at the La Siesta Nov 15-22. It is an older hotel across the street from the ocean. I stayed in an ocean view room which is one of the best ocean view deals in town. The room was good size, nice and clean with a nice balcony overlooking the ocean. The beach across the road was great for swimming. The waves were not too big and not too small and the water was warm. The hotel is about 4 blocks west of the Plaza Machado and opera house where there are many restaurants and much activity at night. There is a great massage place about 2 or 3 blocks east of the hotel. It is called the Aroma Spa and massages were only 150 pesos. You can take a green bus right in front of the hotel to the golden zone for only 8 pesos. The bus coming back does not drop you off in front of the hotel though. You need to get off at the Mercado by the cathedral and walk the 4 or 5 blocks. The hotel area is laid back and fairly quiet. There are good beer specials at the Belmar Hotel along with a ping pong table. The ocean view rooms are kind of noisy because the street runs right in front of the hotel and it is fairly busy with buses and trucks and cars between 630am-1030pm but there sure is an incredible sunset. Another fun thing to do is climb to the top of the lighthouse hill which is not far from the hotel. It provides a great view. I wish there was a place to rent a bike near the hotel. The hotel is probably best for travelers over 30 years old.

Location is in the middle of everything: make two rights and your in the center of town and the cathedral, take a 3 dollar taxi to the port and take a 1.50 boat ride two and from isla de los piedras....take a 4 dollar taxi to the monumetal plaza and see lucha libre, and take a 4 dollar taxi to the strip of tourist hotels and clubs. It was a nice break from the traditional tourist areas...

This hotel is an older hotel with the feel of the old way. It is definately not touristy. We loved the views. We took long walks on the boardwalk. It was very interesting---loved seeing the divers. The Shrimp Bucket restaurant was absolutely delicious---try the shrimp bucket. Best shrimp we have ever had. By the way I am from the east coast. We went to the Gold Zone one night--could not wait to get back. We liked it but you do need to be aware that it is not a modern hotel. Our room was clean and accomodated our needs. There are no bathtubs so if you like baths you will have to use the ocean or the pool.

The hotel was wonderful! The ocean view and location are excellent. Plus, we were able to enjoy the music and the Shrimp Bucket downstairs. I stayed for 9 days and was wonderful!

the infamous or famous jack kerouac was a guest at the la siesta in the 1950's. since that time quite a few coats of paint and perhap historic airconditioning have been added. this is very basic, if backpacking or hostel living appeals to you, yo might like this hotel. i will say that the ocean view remains and is good.

If you want to see the best part of Mazatlan stay here. The rooms are clean and the view of the ocean was great. For the money best place in Mazatlan. Also, go to Canucks on open mic night. Lots of fun. Todd & Bobby

Unless you get a room with an ocean view, the rooms are like caves. Even the ocean rooms felt dirty. Damp, musty smell. Maid service was poor. Beds were small double beds and hard, hard, hard. Would not stay here again! Poor customer service. Unorganized staff, wireless access almost non-existent. No amenities.

My husband and I respently spent a week at La Siesta hotel and were totally happy with our choice. It was exactly what we were looking for, a nice clean quiet hotel in Old Mazatlan next to the ocean. We found the hotel to be clean and friendly and the views were great with a balcony perfect for watching those perfect sunsets. The front end staff was pleasant and helpful, we would go back again.

La Siesta is situated right across from the beach and malecon. It is a great people watching area and a good place to take your morning walk or run. The BEST thing is sthat it is only a few blocks from the heart of the old historic area. Numerous resturants and botiques are situated there. At night the streets are closed around the Plazuela Machado and the resturants place tables outside for their diners' pleasure. Street musicians abound, playing anything from jazz to ranchero music. Situated in the same building as the hotel is Senor Frogs, which is a local favorite for breakfast. I found the ceviche to be the best I had tasted in years and the portion was ample for 2 people at only a pittance. The desk staff spoke English and were very healpful. A safe was available for storing passports. All in all a most favorable trip!!

Enjoyable visit. The room was sparten but clean. The towells are clean but thin and are not replaced at night if used during the day. The information sheet states that the maid will put a bottle of water in the room each day. That is no longer true. Water dispensers are located on each floor level. There is a computer in the office for E Mail use but it was inoperable for half the time I was there. The staff is very friendly except for one young man who had the late night duty. It is very helpful if you speak Spanish.

We stayed at La Siesta for a total of two nights and it was just wonderful. I got a room in the heart of Old Mazatlan and literally a stone's throw away from the ocean!
