Everything about Quality Inn Mazatlan -- including dated details and cookie-cutter architecture -- feels decidedly budget, but on par for this wallet-friendly brand. However, the two pools (including a rooftop option), the alfresco restaurant, and the ideal location near Playa Gaviotas and Mazatlan's famous Golden Zone help make this a decent value, especially for families seeking a budget vacation near the beach. The 89 pleasant rooms all feature essentials like flat-screen TVs, free Wi-Fi, air-conditioning, and (optional) balconies. For a bit more money, Olas Altas Inn offers the same amenities, plus a rooftop spa and a prime location across the street from the beach.

Ramada Resort Mazatlan is a nice step above many of the area resorts in Mazatlan's touristy Golden Zone. The three-pearl hotel features a solid list of resort amenities, including a large freeform pool, a wide stretch of Playa Camaron beach, and two restaurant/bars, including one of Mazatlan’s most popular late-night dive bars. Each of the 200 rooms is plain, but features modern amenities like free Wi-Fi and air-conditioning, plus optional balconies and kitchenettes. However, the on-site dive bar and central location amid the Golden Zone’s bustling traffic and noisy beach may provide too much of a party-hard atmosphere for some. For the same money, neighboring Emporio Mazatlan offers similar amenities with more polished rooms and a quieter atmosphere.

Olas Altas Inn packs a nice array of amenities into a relatively modest mid-range package just across from Mazatlan's beach The contemporary, all-day restaurant, outdoor pool with swim-up bar, and rooftop spa and fitness center all feel like a step above most neighboring hotels. Most of the 80 rooms are bright, pleasant, and modestly sized, and include free Wi-Fi, air-conditioning, and private balconies, some with ocean views. However, the easily crowded pool and heavily-trafficked street separating the property from the beach may discourage guests seeking a quieter getaway. The similarly priced The Palms Resort of Mazatlan offers the same amenities plus a beautiful infinity pool right on the beach.

The Melville Boutique Hotel is an antidote for Mazatlan’s well-known, over-the-top, all-inclusive resorts. There aren't many features here, but the charming decor and Old World atmosphere are more than enough to draw travelers seeking lodging with plenty of traditional Mexican flavor. The hotel is in quaint Old Mazatlan, but will require a 20-minute drive to reach the nightlife of the Golden Zone. Each of the 20 rooms at this value property features a spacious, apartment-style layout that includes free Wi-Fi, flat-screen TVs, air-conditioning, and separate living and dining areas with kitchenettes. For a bit more money, the more polished -- albeit less charming -- BEST WESTERN Posada Freeman has a rooftop pool and a prime location right near the sea.

Pueblo Bonito Emerald Bay is one of Mazatlan's most upscale resorts, with a ton of features that keep all-inclusive travelers happy. The extensive list of amenities includes three large pools, swim-up bars, three open-air restaurants, a cocktail lounge, and a huge, beautiful spa complex. All 378 suites have spacious layouts with private, ocean-view balconies, flat-screen TVs, and kitchenettes. However, the scale of the property makes it difficult to navigate, only paid Wi-Fi is available throughout, and the beach is heavily eroded (as of mid-2016) with no permanent seating or facilities. Although it’s less polished, the sister property, Pueblo Bonito Mazatlan, offers many of the same amenities and a more central location for less money.
