3-star hotels in Tampico
A shortlist of 3-star hotels in Tampico, all on Avenida Hidalgo or close to it, for travellers who want free wifi, parking and a pool or gym without paying for a full-service resort.
Staying in Tampico
Tampico sits on the southern Tamaulipas coast, a working port city whose centre holds the old plaza, the cathedral and the market, while the beaches and the laguna lie out beyond it. Southern Tamaulipas is markedly calmer than the border zone and daily life goes on normally, though several governments still keep advisories on the state. The usual local advice is to travel by road in daylight, use toll highways, leave nothing visible in the car and ask at your hotel before wandering into unfamiliar neighbourhoods. Almost every hotel on this list lines Avenida Hidalgo, the long spine that carries you from the centre out toward the airport side of the city. The Comfort Inn, Hotel San Antonio, City Express Plus and Hampton Inn Zona Dorada sit nearer the middle, around Colonia Smith and the Zona Dorada; the City Express by Marriott, Fiesta Inn, Grand Royal, Posada de Tampico and Hampton Inn Aeropuerto sit further out around Colonia Arenal. Couples on a short break, families and business travellers all fit here, since the addresses keep you on one road with restaurants and bars along it.
