We stayed at the Laos Mar over Labor Day weekend and it was perfect for our needs. Right on a public beach, not a manicured beach like you'll find at the expensive places, but a perfectly good beach. It was very reasonably priced. Our desert view (parking lot view) room cost $59 for Friday and Sunday nights, and $79 for... more

I stayed here for one night with 2 friends/co-workers in a Desert View Room that I would equate to a very nice 3-3.5 star quality on the U.S. hotel scale. We payed only $50 for the room (no taxes or other fees), which was incredibly comfortable, clean, modern, safe, and well located. Continental breakfast by the pool is included as... more

We stayed here for 2 nights and found the hotel to be very clean and comfortable. The first day and night were very quiet. The second night the spring break crowd came in and the hotel decided to play some loud rap music at the pool for about an hour. We complained about the vulgar lyrics and the DJ explained... more

Laos Mar Hotel & Suites is a compromise if you ever decide to travel to the odd town of Puerto Penasco. You need to have blinders on in order to enjoy your holiday in this weird mixture of a shanty town and a 'luxury' tourist ghetto. The Laos Hotel is rather well located somewhere in the middle of the Penasco... more

My family and I stayed at Laos Mar for three days. After a very bumpy drive on unpaved and unmarked roads we arrived to the hotel, which for the most part looked nice. On entering we were met by a very rude front desk attendant who was obviously put out by having to check us in and do work. All... more

Well, we stayed here back in April of 2005, but I am checking out where we are staying this summer, and it seems we are going to be going back to the Laos Mar. I just cannot believe the room you get for the money. It is the nicest place I've ever stayed! Our room looked like it was brand... more

This was a nice place to stay. The room was clean and the staff were friendly. The beds are a bit firm - we took a sleeping bag and put it under the sheet for extra softness. It's a very short walk across the street to the beach. It's not resort living, but it is worth the price. more

The room was very clean and the amenities were better than any other hotel we've stayed at in PP. The staff was very helpful. Housekeeping was topnotch! GREAT water pressure and plenty of hot water. Will stay there again this year for the Rally.! more

It is tough to find a good mid-range priced hotel in Puerto Penasco anymore. Lots of expensive luxury hotels/condos being put up on Sandy Beach, which makes it a less desirable destination location for folks on a budget. Laos Mar is not right on the beach, but it is only a short walk away. The road accessing the hotel seems... more
