Absolutely NOT recommended. Beds have springs coming out of them. Lumpy pillows. Paint peeling on ceiling. Lots of noise in the middle of the night and despite managements claim of quiet time they don’t seem to care. Sketchy crowd of people staying here.

This is one of the worst hotels I think I have ever been in. I knew the room wouldn’t have air conditioning; but I was not prepared for the horribly moldy smell. TV didn’t work, the Wi-Fi was so bad, streaming not possible and of and on all the time. 

The ONLY positive thing was nice staff.

Just don’t go there

The staff were amazing, very helpful and always saying hello etc, the staff were constantly cleaning, the property was a little dated, but it was obvious that many upgrades and repairs were being done on the property. The mattress needs to be replaced (thats very important for a hotel obviously). We had a fridge and that made a world of difference since we stayed there about two weeks. The staff and their great attitudes were the stars of the show.

The good - the rooftop deck has a spectacular unobstructed view of the bay, if you are able to climb 5 flights of steep steps to get there.  The bad, we were put in a room with an air conditioner that was obviously broken (cooling but a constant sound like a lawn mower) and it was clear from the conversation among the staff members that this was intentional, not accidental.  Maybe they thought we wouldn't complain.  At any rate the only room available with AC that did not sound like a lawnmower cost more and they insisted that we pay for the upgrade.  The irony is that they have a different rate for rooms without AC - they could have charged that lower rate for the lawnmower room and it would have made sense.  The condition of the beds and rooms, and the property in general, was pretty down in the heel as well.  Reasonably clean, just way past their prime.  For the price, that might be expected.

The good: Great location, just a few yards away from the pier where Thunderbolt docks. Beautiful view of the bay, great breeze to enjoy. We requested bay view. We opened our windows and enjoyed the breeze for the first few days. No A/C needed at all. The terrace has great hammocks to relax in, and of course, an amazing view and great breeze. Very close to town square, only a short walk away from bus terminal. We enjoyed the recreation areas all along the bay, along with a great place for walking/jogging in the mornings. I like how their prices stay the same, one flat rate that includes tax and all. The hotel itself was clean and decent, though not fancy. Great WiFi.

The bad: The beds were not very comfortable. If you do get a budget room with no A/C, keep in mind that you may not always get a breeze through your window and it will get warm, not to mention the mosquitoes. The last night we were there, breeze suddenly stopped and mosquitoes took over. Also, on weekends, you have cars parked on the street with very loud music. This was solved by shutting the window, but then it got hot. There is no elevator, so keep this in mind if stairs are a problem.

The ugly: Very early during our last morning there, the electricity went out in the hotel and surrounding area. We were still able to shower with some of the water that was left in the pipes, but eventually it ran out so we were left with no water. Luckily, there credit card machine was still running so  I was able to check out, pay, and leave. Also, when the windows are shut, there is a bad sewer smell that fills the room. I asked the guy if the electricity issue was common and he said they knew that it was going to happen. I would have appreciated it I had known so that maybe I could have showered the night before and paid for my stay ahead of time. I did not have enough cash to pay, only my credit card.

In short, if you need an affordable place to stay for one or two nights, it is fine. But do not make this your main hotel. We stayed 4 days/ 3 nights.

Great or Poor, depending on what you like

I'm sure that, in it's day, the Mirador Hotel was quite the place. An impressive building (for Corozal, anyway)  in a great location by the bay and in the centre of town.   Looks pretty tired now, but solid as a rock.  Friendly staff, very clean accommodations and inexpensive.  Bed was uncomfortable, but the shower worked.  I had the best room in house.... top floor with a fabulous ocean view.  Not the worst place to stay...

Some imagination required

No fancy, room super clean!  Lovely view. I did like was the open and close door, got me tired. If I wanted to come they to open the door for me and close it back. I guess to be safe! But everything was great. 

Was excellent

Nothing fancy here.  Clean rooms.  Secure paring.  Surprisingly good Chinese restaurant.  We got across border after leaving Cancun at noon but it was getting dark.  Auto insurance agent recommended this hotel.  

Easy access after crossing from Mexico 

I paid $35/night for a room without A/C. Rooms with A/C cost $50, and that is overpriced, but you need the A/C in Corozal. Room rather cramped. Not good water pressure in shower. Sink water pressure was laughably bad. Excellent rooftop terrace affording spectacular views of the town. Close to decent restaurants such as Al's Cafe. Adjoining Chinese restaurant is no good. Nice, friendly staff, including two Belizean twin sisters who are beautiful. Not far from the bus station. Close to a Scotia Bank. Close to stores that sell drinks. A taxi to Cerros costs $40 for the trip out, back, and waiting time. The masks at Cerros are fiberglass replicas. Close to the dock for the Thunderbolt water taxi. A nice place that is Western-owned that is a ways from the center of town is the Copper Horse Inn...Canadian lady owns it and was very nice to me when I had a question. She was also grilling some delicious chicken. You'd probably be more comfortable there...
