3-star hotels in Los Mochis
A shortlist of 3-star hotels in Los Mochis, from chains on the main boulevards to smaller places in the centre, for travellers who want a reliable base before or after the Chepe and a straightforward, comfortable stay in the city.
Staying in Los Mochis
Los Mochis is a working city in northern Sinaloa and, for many visitors, a practical stop rather than a destination in itself: it is where the Chepe train begins its climb into the Copper Canyon. The station sits on the eastern edge of town and the first departure leaves early, so an overnight here is the usual way to start the journey. The city also works as a base for the surrounding farmland and coast.
The hotels on this list cluster around the centre and along the main arteries. Best Western Plus Los Mochis and Hotel El Dorado sit on Avenida Obregón and Avenida Gabriel Leyva; Hotel America Centro and Hotel America Palacio are near Calle Miguel Hidalgo and Calle Allende, the heart of the commercial grid. City Express and Fiesta Inn occupy the boulevards, while Zar Los Mochis and Hotel San Marcos sit further out. Couples on a short break, families passing through and business travellers all find something here; light sleepers should note the early start for the train.

Plan your stay
Getting there and around
The Chepe leaves from the station on the eastern edge of Los Mochis first thing in the morning, so plan on leaving your hotel around five and arranging the taxi the night before. The opening stretch of the route crosses flat farmland with little to look at, which is why many travellers instead sleep in El Fuerte, 80 km away and a prettier colonial town, and board the train a couple of hours later. Timetables shift by season, so check the current schedule before you book.
