MAZATLAN

The Hotel Regis, though a little seedy is centrally located, if one likes the local experience. If one wants the tourist experience then the other end of Mazatlan would be more to their liking.

The Hotel Regis is located at 1010 Gtz. (Gutierrez) Najera, at the corner of Hepos Del Canonelp Tampico Oriente.

Rates start at 150 Pesos for a single or 250 for a double.

Note the house to the right of the hotel. I don't know if anyone lives there but the front door is always open, in the evening. The parlour is usually occupied by lovely ladies and their is usually a taxi or two sitting out front.

Though it is not near the hotel zone, and the fancy night clubs, there are two table dance clubs within a short distance and the ladies next door will happily share your room with you.

If the sound of high heels, clacking on the tile stairs, throughout the night, is not to your liking there are other hotels in the area with equally low rates.

As well, within easy walking distance are: several banks; ATM machines; eating places; and cantinas.

The area is served by several busses and is not that far a walk to the central shopping core, Cathedral; Angela Peralta Theatre, Post Office, Archaeology Museum, Cliff divers, The Women Mazatleca Monument, The Deer Monument, Pino Suarez Market, The Museum Canobbio House, and the seciond highest lighthouse in the world.

A few blocks due West will take you to the main beach which is the city's main attraction; long, wide, and golden, caressed by sparkling blue waters.
