I stayed here for 6 nights after having to move from the Hotel San Marcos. The front desk staff was very helpful and understood English, one gal spoke 4 languages fluently, Spanish, English, French, and German.
This hotel was opened in December of 2005. It is a BRAND NEW 3 story freestanding building with PAVED parking with 24 hr. security across from the Country Club Golf course. Free 24 hour business center with 4 computers, hi speed internet, and free copying and printing. They also have free wireless internet in the rooms. A small hotel type GYM is next to the business center. Easy access to downtown and only 10 minute to the airport. I did see they have a shuttle van. The hotel also has a limited free breakfast.
3 types of rooms are offered; 1 queen bed, 2 queen beds, or Queen Suite. All the rooms are new so everything was very clean, carpeted floors in the bed area and tile floor in the bathroom.
I had a Queen Suite which featured:
Wet bar area with coffee maker, microwave, small refrigerator, counter, cupboards, and sink. This area served as the divider for the bed area and salon.
Salon had a sofa bed, coffee table, end table, and desk.
Bed area had a queen bed, long wall counter/desk, closet for hanging clothes with TV on top, window seat, and air conditioner/heater. TV had local cable and a good selection of channels with a few in English. The mattress was a little on the low end side and while not very comfortable it served the purpose.
Bathroom was adequate with great hot water and pressure. A little more counter space would have helped.
Maid service was great but the would knock on your door at 8:30 AM to check for laundry if you did not put out the Do Not Disturb sign.
Overall I think this is the best value in Culiacan and will stay here in the future. New clean rooms and great service. Beware, there are times when they are sold out because of business groups or golf tournaments.
