• The staff was very accommodating.
• The bar is located inside the main dinning area.

“Very clean, cozy and romantic. It is only two blocks away from the international bridge with Mexico making it convenient to walk across the border. The room on the concierge level was spacious and clean.”

• The staff practically did everything for us. There was valet, two private pools, staff around every corner; each room had separate temperature controls.
• The only issue we had was a left over to-go box in the refrigerator.

“This hotel was the best hotel we have ever stayed at in Laredo and we've stayed at almost all. Its part of history and it is very well kept up. The entrance was the only way in or out which helped to keep intruders out. It seemed to me like there were many guests but the room placement was great. We were secluded but still out in the open. The hotel overlooks the Rio grandee and the hotel has a patio in the middle of everything where the pool is located. There was an extension to the hotel and that had a pool with a great view of the sky.”

• Comfort, beautiful patio.
• Very congested area to get to it due to traffic at the border.

“Overall this is probably the best place to stay at in Laredo, just wish it were a little away from the border crossing and not so difficult to get to.”

• The hotel staff is wonderful and the decor is beautiful.
• There was no clock radio in the room.

“This hotel is beautifully decorated. It has been recently remodeled and the staff treats you like a queen. I love la posada. It used to be too expensive for me to afford. ”

“It is a Mexican style hotel, with balconies. It is taken place a major rebuild and the new rooms are cozy and with a very good size.”

• Unique and interesting in many ways.
• Very, very close to border - could be dangerous.

“I liked La Posado. For the more 'off the beaten path' traveler who likes to experience unique and charming hotels and is not intimidated by an extremely close proximity to Mexico (on the border), or does not mind being located in the City center of the Old West Laredo (that means what it implies)... then this hotel is great!”

• The Hotel is beautiful and it is really nice.
• The hotel charged me for my room after I had paid for it thru you. They told me that they will investigate this and I have not heard back.

“I enjoyed the stay but they are doing remodeling and it was noisy and smelled of paint all night, and they charged me for the room, I had already paid thru you, they are going to investigate this they told me. I would stay there again after they finish working on the hotel, it was good though.”

• Clean room, comfortable bed and friendly staff except checkout clerk.
• Being charged $5 a day for parking for first time in several stays.

“I've stayed at this hotel several times, and I had never before been charged for parking in the hotel parking garage. When I asked the checkout clerk what other choice I had for parking, he pointed out the window and said there is metered parking out on the streets. Thanks a lot! The streets near the hotel are extremely busy and I would have had to park blocks away and gone back to feed the meter! Parking should be included in hotel's daily rate, as there is no other choice anyway.”

• Clean rooms, comfortable bed.
• Extra charge of $5 per day for parking in hotel parking garage.

“Had never before been charged for parking in the hotel parking garage. I mentioned this to the clerk when he charged me for parking as I checked out, but he said perhaps previous clerks had been new and did not know about the parking fee. I asked where else I could have parked, and he said there is metered parking out on the streets. Thanks a lot!! The streets around the hotel are congested and I would have had to park blocks away and gone back to feed the meter during the day! My encounter with the rude and aloof clerk at checkout ruined an otherwise pleasant stay.”

• Location. Walking distance to border.
• Initial room location.

“I feel that the staff was more friendly and accommodating to Mexican guests. I was originally assigned a room in the back of the hotel which backs up to the dog kennel that houses the border guard dogs. Due to their loud barking, I requested a different room. They brought a key to a different room, but didn't bother to tell me where it was located nor did they offer to help me move my things. The second room was good with no barking dog issues. Basically, I feel that the hotel is overpriced probably because there is limited competition in this type of hotel. Their restaurants' food is mediocre and fairly expensive. E.g. Lunch buffet was $15.00. There are several nicer hotels across the border in Nuevo Laredo, but I didn't want to go across the border with the amount of drug problems they are having. I will probably search for a different hotel next trip.”

• Loved the renovations, mattresses, lots of pillows on bed.
• Can't think of anything.

“Having stayed at La Posada several times in the past few years, I was wonderfully surprised to see the new renovations which were long overdue. The grounds are beautiful, the lobby welcoming and the newly renovated room was tastefully furnished. The mattresses must be new and we loved the extra pillows that were already on the beds. We didn't have to ask for extra pillows or towels.”

• Customer service was excellent, attentive and hospitable.
• The bath tub, TV needed repair. the bed frames seem like it had mildew or something.

“Overall, I did enjoy my stay. The hotel is being remodeled. I would recommend that the hotel would provide a floor plan of where construction is taking place, for safety purposes and it paints a better memory picture of your stay. Instead of the muggy mildew scent. Housekeeping was very hospitable. Room service was on time and tasting. Thank you for my stay.”

• Friendly people.
• The lobby area is undergoing construction and the temporary lobby is inconvenient.

“The rooms are not three-star hotel rooms. They are old looking and old-fashioned. They smell like strong cleanser covering up mustiness. The toilet was too close to the wall in the bathroom. The El Cafe Restaurant is great.”

• This is a beautiful hotel. Perfectly located.

“7/23/05 La Posada is currently under construction, so understand it is loud and a bit messy. I is a pretty hotel with old world Mexican charm. The hotel is at the foot of the tourist bridge, it provides a location that is walking distance to Nuevo Laredo and this will be important as when you get back from Mexico, you're hot and tired. The location is perfect.Ask for a room overlooking one of the swimming pools so you don't get stuck in one of the windowless rooms on the west side of the hotel. Seriously, there are some very undesirable rooms. The Sunday brunch is really good. In Laredo, it's really the only place to stay.”

• it is close to the border. which was convenient for our circumstances, as we had to cross for a wedding reception.
• The location and lack of parking was horrible. We were able to park in the underground garage-convenient

“The hotel was nice, as were the staff. It was just that we were at a wedding and there was no parking for other family members who were also in town to park so we could coordiante things. (Maybe that was more our problem.)The hotel was nice though and even though some of the family gave me grief about a price I was happy with, It turned out that we had the best place in town, with the best price! SO they quit with the razzing. ”

• The hotel is lovely, the area was sketchy. I certainly wouldn't walk alone as the square across the street was a hangout for people without work
• The location and the room we had was definitely not one of their best

“I would only stay there if I needed quick access to the border. Although the hotel common areas are lovely and the staff friendly, the neighborhood surrounding the hotel is not conducive to walking/touring. Too many vagrants. ”

• The ambiance of the hotel was nice
• The bathroom sink leaked and dripped all night.

“This hotel certainly should not be rated 3 1/2 stars. We will definitely not stay there next time. There are nicer hotels in Laredo than this one. While the history of this hotel made it somewhat charming, the upkeep on the rooms just seemed like 1960's style.”

“Walking distance to Mexico, market, & Victoria's.
Friendly staff which was the best ever. Hotel is old, but fairly well maintianed. Rooms are clean. Stay in the older part if possible. The newer section does have a heated pool, but is closer to the drug dogs on the border. David Copperfield stayed here!”

“La Posada Hotel And Suites in Laredo was just what we hoped for; the staff was wonderful and the management was willing to accommodate special requests. It was an incredible price when rooms were booked 4 months in advance; the price for the late requests were comparable to the regular rate of other hotels in the area, which do not offer the same amenities. Thank you, we have booked our next weekend retreat with you!”
