I really loved staying at this place. The only drawback worth mentioning is that the reception staff was frankly mediocre and not particularly Customer Service saavy. They were still nice though and got it done, but noticeable that they didn't really go out of their way for the customer. That said, everything else about the hotel is awesome. On the flip, the parking attendants / security guys (2 total) were super nice and we chatted it up for hours. ||||So First and foremost, I am travelling through Mexico with my dog (Aussie Shepard Mix), so finding dog-friendly hotels has been tricky (expectedly). Las Fuentes accepts dogs at no additional rate (score!) and it's already a very economical hotel. Also there was a lot of space to walk the dog around; just beware if you are travelling with a dog that the strays will flock to you (and your dog) out of curiosity should you stray yourself from the hotel. ||||Funny story - so I had made a telephone reservation with Las Fuentes in the morning which BTW did not require a credit card (another score!). my cell phone fell into water on the way to this place somewhere while crossing through CD. Obregon, and except for the Hotel Name and City, I had no other information or idea where this place was. Incredibly, I found it with zero problems by just wondering into Los Mochis and there it was on the side of the road just waiting for me. So yes, it is conveniently located if you are travelling by car. ||||It's not uncommon in low-mid range mexican hotels that the mattresses are crap and are hard as a rock, and that is very much the case at this hotel. You have been warned. ||||So the two points against this place is the mediocre reception and the crap matresses. ||||Wi-Fi is available and doesn't even require a password, but I think it's from the stone age (1 MB yikes)||||I also tried some breakfast at the restaurant and I will say that the food hugely surpassed my expectations, well worth a try. If you are travelling through Los mochis and need a good, economical hotel, you cannot...
Read moreWe flew into Los Mochis the night before we boarded the Copper Canyon Train [El Chepe]. Based on the reviews on Trip Advisor, this seemed like a good place to stay. Thumbs up! The hotel was a bit of a taxi ride from the airport [@ 240 pesos as I recall] but a welcome spot to spend the night. Not fancy, but clean, comfortable and very reasonable.||||We dined in the attached restaurant and were please with the food and service, but the tortilla soup was the BEST I've ever tasted! I was savoring each spoonful, attempting to identify the individual flavors that all combined to make one of those dishes that transcends "food" and becomes an "experience".||||I loved the way the hotel was decorated--colorful, cheery and a nice welcome back to Mexico.||||The front desk was friendly and arranged a taxi ride to the train station in the morning. BTW--be sure and check the train before you go. Every other day is first class only, and the cost is significantly more than the 2nd...
Read moreOne trip south loaded we were pulling in late and managed to get a booking com reservation. We arrived after the front door was locked, we were directed around to the gate entrance then to the reception area, after getting the room tried the restaurant. The Room was Clean with fairly good maintenance for what appears to be an older building. Service in the restaurant was a bit slow by some standards the food was okay. It is a definitely a bit off the route...
