Hotel y Hostel Guerrero

A relaxed, easygoing place with a decent breakfast. There is room to hand-wash clothes in the patio and they dry rapidly, although the place can get quite cold at night. They display a Copper Canyon timetable but the railway website is useless and doesn't say how to book tickets, so I didn't bother with it. I met one person who had tried to get a ticket on the train at El Fuerte but was turned away. As a consolation, a walk to the riverside is rewarding and entertaining if you're there at weekends. Also be warned that the bus from El Fuerte to Los Mochis can take 2 hours, so allow plenty of time if you've got a bus connection.
