hola, last year, i called the la pinta in guerrero negro and they wanted $ 89.00 U.S. for the nite. too rich just to take a shower and sleep.
i keep hearing the rooms at malarrimos is $ 40.00 and aren't bad. plus, the parking lot seems to be secure.
i've heard they had problems at the old la pinta in san quintin ? it's just an open parking lot.
they used to have " tons " of pismo clams on the beach there and the surf fishing wasn't too bad either for barred perch and corbina. i don't see the
pismo clam sellers and cleaners on the streets anymore so it's possible they wiped them out as i saw them take 5 gallon buckets after 5 gallon buckets
out of there with the hookah gear.
BIEN SALUD, DA RAT

In Guerrero Negro, Malarrimo parking does not, in my opinion, appear to be any more secure that that of the Cowboy Hotel or Los Caracoles. Depending
upon how big a rig you're hauling, Malarrimo has a larger lot, however. Rates are comparable at all. Besides, staying at La Pinta in Guerrero Negro
isn't really like being in Guerrero Negro. i really could not recommend their restaurant, so one still has to drive into town to get a decent meal.

I don't have experience with the Cowboy Hotel parking, it appears to be tight though. Los Caracoles is not well designed for ingress/egress. Be
careful where you park if you are planning an early morning departure, as I have seen cars blocking access to those who are in the north corner of the
property. Nice rooms and friendly staff at Los Caracoles.

I think I remember hearing that the owners of Dos Pinos had purchased one, some, or all of the old La Pinta Hotels.

First, the La Pinta chain changed its name to Desert Inn a few years ago. Second, it's the folks from Los Pinos who bought the property. I can't
imagine they wouldn't have a vacancy for walk-ins, as it is one of the larger properties around. That said, if it's the pet issue, you might try
calling (616) 165-9008. That was the local number for the hotel under the Desert Inn ownership. I cannot imagine they would have changed their number.
Call and ask about pets. Also, adjacent to the Villas de San Quintin is another excellent property called Maria Celeste. Their number is (616)
165-3999. You can call to inquire about the pet thing.

Has anyone ever actually stayed at the Maria Celeste? I ask because we tried 2 or 3 times to get a room there and they were always booked full. Mind
you, we did not have a reservation and just arrived as walk-ins, so figured you really need to have a reservation.
This was before the days of the Villa de San Quintin which is right next door and a place that we like, so we've kind of stopped even thinking about
the Maria Celeste - just curious and wondering how it compares to the Villa.

I can't give you a first person review. However, Trip Advisor has two very good reviews and BajaGringo told me that if he is unable to get a room in
Jardines, Maria Celeste is his next option.

good coffee too.

Thanks for the info Bajahowodd.
Irene - I have Posada Don Diego on my list of places to stay in your area. We have not stayed there yet, but may well do so on a future trip. For
us, it all depends on whether we are heading north or south, what time of day it is when we reach that 'greater San Quintin area', etc...

Just stayed at the santa maria hotel. Room rate was $49..no discounts available. Room was spacious clean and great views. Parking isn't fenced but
does have 24h security. Internet was good. Restaurant was acceptable. I would recommend jardin if available but this was a great second option.
Drive about 5 -8 miles south of town take a right at their billboard. Follow the signs can't miss it.

misterfeathers as in related to feathers ???????????
we stopped at the GN hotel just the other day - it was totally empty and there was not one soul in the restaurant ... beautifully decorated ... I must
look for those photos ... they have pottery and other crafts and 3 ancient typewriters (well...not really ancient unless I now have to call myself
ancient cause I remember them !!!)
