What guests think

Mariposa Hotel draws mixed feedback: an older property undergoing renovations where many guests find clean, spacious rooms and comfortable beds at a good price, but others report maintenance gaps, missing fixtures, and service missteps from check-in to housekeeping.

Reliable Wi‑Fi and TV are recurring pain points, with multiple reviews citing weak or nonfunctional internet and limited or faulty channels. The on-site steakhouse earns strong praise, while the complimentary breakfast is often minimal or unavailable. Location is a consistent plus, close to shopping and convenient for border crossings, with some reports of noise and dated exteriors. Expect a budget stay with trade-offs and a standout restaurant.

The lobby was beautiful and all of the staff we met were wonderful. The rooms were a bit tired, and the TV was malfunctioning, offering only a couple of channels. The WiFi did not work at all in the room. And the bathtub faucet was partially stuck and allowed only very hot water, too hot for using. The pool area was quite attractive, but the pool itself was full of dead insects and debris from nearby trees and other plants.

The only complain would be hotel has not elevator (or maybe it has, but half of it its in remodeling process) so we had to carry all luggage thru the outside stairs in a rain weather.

The room was recently renovated and was clean and comfortable. There were issues..the door key and lock didn't work right, the draperies did not close properly, there was no holder for the toilet paper. Also, no lights in the stairwells so hard to go anywhere after dark. The internet did not work inside the room. That being said, I would try again after the renovations are complete. The restaurant was good and the bed was great,

Facility is a little tired and worn, but staff are friendly and rooms up to date and clean. Breakfast is a pass, as in "pass it up and don't bother." There are lots of options close by for the morning, including a very nice Safeway with a Starbucks and the usual fast food. You get what you pay for, which in this case is a good and clean room; breakfast is not what you’ve paid for, and for me that's okay. Its also an easy and straight shot from the hotel to the new Mariposa international border crossing.

it was terrible. 1st time there. The carpet was super dirty. Check your windows when you get there because they will be unlocked. TV i super old. channels were blurry and with lines. No cable as it advertises. Directions step by step are given in the even the cable is not working. It says to go to set up on the remote but there is not set up button on the remote or tv menu option so I tried everything and nada! No internet access. I callled the front office, they gave me a password that did not work, seemed to have bo solution. The swimming pool was nearby but fool of families and kids that never left. They were barbecuing So I couldn’t read and relax. My room was close to the swimming pool so it was hart to fall asleep due to people drinking beers right outside their room and pool. I’m the morning I was ready to enjoy my free breakfast, and it turns out that they just have a tiny room for you to brew coffee, some slices of bread and some cereal options and that’s breakfast. No milk, no premade coffee. You help yourself. My key didn’t open my room 3 times because somehow it would get deactivated so, It was 2 and says for me. Oh, and the second day it rain so hard that thunder kept setting of the car alarms. Got no sleep again. So if you are going to Nogales for business NEVER stay here. Actually, I wouldn’t eve stay there again. You really get what you pay for. If you are on a budget go to hotel Americana. They have everything this one didn’t for the same price

I liked that this hotel is very close to Safeway and a few other food options. I did not like that I was given a key to a room with a person already in there. I was given a new key only for it not to work. After the third time it finally worked. The rooms are very run down but the beds were comfortable. If you are okay sleeping in a run down hotel for a night then stay here

I requested a ground floor room upon making my reservation because I was traveling with my dog. The hotel confirmed I had a ground floor reservation. I got to the hotel and reiterated I needed a ground floor reservation and I was given a key card, directed to my room where my room. I called the front desk was actually a second floor room and the check-in person told me that ground floor looks over the Grounds. I’ve never heard such a thing. Also, my primary reason staying there was just to spend the night before heading into Mexico and my only plan that evening was eating and watching the NBA game and the TV did not work on only the channel that I needed to watch the volume was all static so I spoke to the front desk about changing rooms because I had to take all of my stuff back-and-forth with my puppy and go to the second floor room. She was kind enough to move me to a ground level room in front of the parking however the TV still did not work.

We stay at Mariposa over night on our way to Mexico. The restaurant is AWESOME and the rooms are cheap for 1 night to just eat and sleep but definitely not a place for anyone somewhat "higher maintenance". Seems like the toiletries are just left if not completely used, like second handish. It is quite though and so far the front desk people have all been super friendly.

Hotel is ok. Old but price is good. The staff really dont care too much about customers. First day i ask to get a room in certain area, and they said no. I understand when house is full but that was not the case. TV is old cable type, no smart tv. Smoke detector was disconnected on my room. I request a room chamge because of the tv, and they said all TVs where old cable type, no smart tv. In fact they said they had a few smart, but they where going to remove them, seems like a lie to me. The worst thingh, i booked 3 nights, but only stayed 2. When i left they did not want to hive me a receipt, they said it was going to be emailed to me a little late that day, and guess what, they didnt. I had to call the next day 2 times, then they emailed to me, but charged 3 nights instead of 2. I called back, they said that expedia has to aprove the 1 night reimbursement, i called back, expedia was ok, then they said they can not reimburse me for the night that I didnt stayed.

This is an older hotel that appears to be slowly undergoing renovation. The property is very spacious and nicely landscaped. It is conveniently located right off the freeway with an adjacent shopping center with a Safeway and Starbucks all within walking distance. Nearby are many eating options. The hotel has what smelled like a delicious steakhouse. I did not have time to eat here but it is on my list of places to try next time I'm here. The rooms are older but spacious, very clean and comfortable. It came with a mini fridge, microwave, and coffee maker. The room was a bit spartan, not decorative, but it had everything required for a comfortable stay. It was quiet and secure. The staff was kind and welcoming. I'll definitely stay here again!
