Nice and safe location, close to the downtown, banks, and nice restaurants, the room was very clean, and spacious, the only bad thing was the lady on the front desk, with a terrible attitude, about a energy problem that going to happend in the hotel that night.

Rooms are dated but clean, breakfast is Mexican but hey you are in Mexico, gardens are pleasant, parking is easy, but if you had a problem, and we did having our card that we had reserved the room with being charged after 2 weeks without us being asked not being offered a refund and then "no English". This from the guy that checked me in and seemed to speak good English just 2 weeks before. Manager not available, receipt not available etcetc According to people also staying here use the new Fiesta just up the road! You have been warned.

We were just passing through, heading back to Arizona. We picked this hotel only from 'name recognition', and it is conveniently located. Staff were very friendly and accomodating. Parking was available, but with some sort of business gathering going on, I had to park quite a distance from our room. The room was OK except for the beds which were as hard as any hotel/motel bed I've experienced. The sports bar was very nice. One free drink upon registering and complimentary hot snacky things. The free breakfast was excellent! For dinner I'd recommend the Sonora Steakhouse, across the street and down about a hundred meters. (It was recommended to us by one of the staff.) Would I stay there again? Perhaps, but I'm going to check the bunk before I sign.

I have stayed in Hermosillo before at the Hotel Fiesta Americana, which is a good hotel. This was my first time staying at the Holiday Inn and have to say, despite my initial worries, it was a pleasant experience.

Location was about what can be expected for Hermosillo. Holiday Inn is next door to just about all of the other hotels in town. The front desk staff was very pleasant and helpful. Parking was good...be aware that you will have your car washed several times during your stay by people in the parking lot...it is customary to tip them and a common occurrence in most of Hermosillo. The room we got on the first floor with 2 double beds was in need of updating. Other members of our party stayed in a room directly upstairs that had been remodeled. The remodeled rooms are modern and chic. I recommend requesting one.

All the rooms face a quart yard with a garden, small fountain and pool. It is very quaint and colonial. Come to find out the hotel was not originally a Holiday Inn but merely purchased by the chain. This explains some of the more authentic aspects about the hotel.

The best part is the breakfast...a huge buffet with traditional Mexican fare along with a nice selection of fruit, pastries and juices. Speaking of food, if you didn't already know, carne asada tacos are king in Hermosillo. Really, Sonoran beef is the best. Make sure to hit up a taco stand while you are there and, if you are adventurous, also try tacos de cabeza. They are a specialty in Hermosillo.
