Hotel Quijote Inn

Beautiful hotel design with very helpful and prompt staff. If you love the Quijote, you will enjoy very much the large statue of the man of the Mancha. Restaurant is right on the beach with amazing views of the islands. Additionally, just across the street you can find the best breakfast restaurant in town ( Mané). There are also two pharmacies and convenience stores across the street. Rooms on the North upper level have a great ocean view, Rooms on the lower south side need some upgrading. Book well in advance to get the better rooms. Quijote Inn takes COVID very seriously and provides all guests with the necessary elements to keep them safe. At check out time (1100 hrs) you must return AC and tv controls as well as beach towel cards to the front desk. Parking space is adequate with 3 levels. The hotel beach is a bit rough, check the lifeguard flag and find the best area to enter the water. Sand is soft and with a small incline, it allows for nice barefoot walks. Just outside the hotel, you can take a local bus with AC all the way south to the market and Machado Plaza or north to the new marina for 13 pesos, a taxi charges around 150 pesos and a pulmonía around 250 pesos. A taxi to the airport is around 450 pesos ( July 2022 ) Mazatlan has grown and traffic moves slowly on the Ocean Boulevard ( malecón), plan accordingly. There are new bike only lanes and I consider them safe and fun from Valentinos to Olas Altas.
