Best Western Gran Hotel Residencial

What a nice surprise when I recently had lunch. It was reasonably priced and the food was excellent. Chips and salsa are given as well as fresh bread with our lunch. The service was perfect. We loved it, and I can't wait to go back. Try the tampiquena plate! Don't be intimidated by the federales that eat lunch there.

I spent nearly 6 months in this hotel, almost half of 2008. It was great to be there. Initially i was bored since most of mexican peoples dont speak english. Later with the hotel staffs it was great. Most of the staffs speak english & are friendly. Weekend parties in this hotel is great. Construction of hotel gives you feeling like a resort in the middle of the town. Walkable distance from downtown & Mexico-US border. It was great in all

We were told to stay at this hotel by the company that we were visiting. A 20 minute ride from the Brownsville Airport got us to this relatively rundown hotel in a tired area of Matamoros. We were instructed not to walk the streets at night, but frankly, I wouldn't walk them during the day either, there didn't look like there was anything to see or do. The staff was fine but the hotel itself is rather grim. I ended up with a suite, which had a large bedroom and a larger living room/kitchen area. This was way too much space and really only needed a good bed for the night. It would be a real value for a family though. The room was fine, AC worked, but eh view was a ground level view of an adjacent parking lot. I think it would be better to ask for a room on the inside of the building which would provide a view of the well-maintained courtyard. Breakfast was included in the rate and eggs were cooked to order. Tortillas tasted homemade and I recommend them. On the bright side, we didn't stay in Brownsville which looked like a time capsule of everything bad about the 1950s.
