Me and a group of friends and family recentley found ourselves searching for a hotel room in Matamoros, Mexico. We wanted somewhere decent, that was safe and clean. Since we were unfamiliar with the city, we found a sign pointing us in the direction of Best Western which we decided to follow. After the first hotel that looked almost to good to be true, informed us this was rented for 6 hours at a time. LOL. We were wondering why this hotel that looked like a townhome had a garage. Anyways, we found the best western easily. It's in a nice area, very clean, very comfortable and breakfast is included. Yummy. The man working the front desk was very nice and spoke a little bit of english. They also have gated parking. If you get there and they are booked. You could also try Hotel Roma which is across the street, or the Hotel Ritz around the corner. Both of these are owned by Best Western and were about $20 a night cheaper. I think they were $60/ night. Best Western was $80 for 4 people. There was a market area just a block away, with tons of shopping and food. Overall, a very good experience.
