Recently did stamping at Nuevo Laredo. Reached Laredo at 10 pm , took a cab ($75) to Holiday inn stayed there. ( if this was day time, i would have preferred to take cab to the border, cross the bridge and then take cab again) . They arranged for a cab to go to consulate and we can request for the driver to come back after a while or stay there. Same for lunch/ dinner. Some guys out there were staying at Best Western (walkable Distance), either hotel is fine. everyone is aware of different questions that can be asked for visa interview , so will not write about that. Passport can be available same day, or next day, after stamping. Overall good experience.
