Holiday Inn Express & Suites Mazatlan by IHG
By the Top3Hotels editorial team. Based on Booking.com guest scores and reviews, location data and reference prices. We did not stay at this hotel. Updated 2026-10-24.
Worth booking if you want a reliable, sea-facing 3-star on the boardwalk with a pool and gym. Compare prices on the day, though, because our Luxury pick in Mazatlan was slightly cheaper on the reference dates.

Holiday Inn Express & Suites Mazatlan by IHG is our Best Value pick for Mazatlan. It suits beach-focused travellers who want to be on the seafront boardwalk, families who need family rooms, and anyone who wants a pool and gym without paying for a resort.
Skip it if breakfast is a big part of your stay, as guests criticise its variety and quality. Travellers who want to sleep in the historic centre should also look at our Budget pick instead, given the cathedral is far on foot from here.
Location and getting around
The hotel is at Av. del Mar 1223, in the area listed as Malecon of Mazatlan. Its location score is 9.5. Guests describe a central setting near the boardwalk, facing the sea.
Walking times are straight-line estimates. The Basilica Cathedral of Mazatlán is 4.5 km away, about 56 minutes on foot. That is far, so plan on public transport or a taxi to reach it.
What guests say
The score is 9.1 out of 10 from 551 reviews. Guests like the sea-facing spot by the boardwalk and a friendly, attentive team that gives a warm welcome and helpful service.
Breakfast is the weak point. Options are tasty, but guests often criticise limited variety and poor quality. Do not book this hotel for the breakfast.
Price and what you get compared with our other picks
The reference price was €85.06 per night, seen for a 2-night stay in November 2026 (10 to 12 Nov) for 2 adults in one room, about €170.12 in total. It is not a live quote, so check today's price for your dates.

Why it made our top 3
We compared 10 hotels in Mazatlan. The Best Value slot balances guest score, number of reviews and price, and it is not necessarily the cheapest. A 9.1 score backed by 551 reviews, a seafront location scoring 9.5 and a price close to the middle of the sample earned it the place.
Before you book
Room size, noise, renovation condition, breakfast inclusion and cancellation terms have not been assessed. Check whether your room actually faces the sea if that matters, since that is not confirmed per room.
Compare the price with the other two picks on the day you book. Confirm pool and gym hours for your dates.
