Secure hotel parking in Loreto
I'll be needing to stay the night in Loreto on March 1st and I'd like a recommendation on a hotel that has secure parking that will fit my truck and
boat. Total length for the combo is 60' including the outboards.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

La Mison.
Best hotel in Loreto by a very wide margin. Huge gated lot behind the hotel.
Ocean front views. Typically can get it for about $150/night. Not cheap for MX, but it's a very nice hotel. Local craft beers at the bar outside.
3 min walk to the marina or town center.

Hola,
a BIG 2nd on hotel angra. a large fenced and gated parking lot that you can see from your room.
great sized clean rooms with an acomodating english speaking owner operator and great hot showers.
a sixty foot rig may be a problem, call and ask.
BIEN SALUD, DA RAT

If less expensive is what you are after, go for Hotel Santa Fe. Very nice place, less than a mile off MX 1. Best steak restaurant in town next to
it. You can get it for less than $70.
Santa Fe is better than Angra and will fit 60 feet out back. The hotel next door to it (forget the name) will as well.
Again, La Mision is the best hotel in Loreto.

I would agree as well just stayed there going north and south. Good price, clean, breakfast at 6:00am included, and they close the gate I believe at
10:00pm.

How tall and wide is that archway into Hotel Angra's courtyard? Will overcab truck racks with camping stuff or a boat T-Top fit through the archway?

I drove my 2015 Ram 2500 through so width isn't a problem I don't recall height being an issue but maybe someone else can confirm.

Height is definitely a concern for me. I need 12' of vertical clearance. Sorry I didn't include that info, but I had not considered overhead arches.
Thanks for posting that question.

Overhead clearance is definitely an issue at several popular hotels along the way south be it arches, overhead gate frames, hotel signs, powerlines,
etc.
We typically travel with bicycles on a roof rack on top of a camper shell on an F350. That puts the bicycle handle bars at just over 11 ft.
Sometimes we have to pull the bikes off to fit under something.
Based on the website photos, Hotel Angra's arch looks too low at the outer corners for our rig. I keep wanting to stop there and check it out but
always seem to just go on by and stay at Tripui.
Still looking for a suitable and secure hotel in Loreto.

I stayed at Cocos Cabanas in Loreto and they had just enough room for me to pull my back my rig right in. In the morning I pulled straight ahead to
the ramp and launched. My partner then parked the truck and trailer back at Coco's then walked back and we headed out. Reversed everything each
evening

I just drove by the Angra and no way Jose could you even think about clearing the arch. I drove in and asked around and they said it was 3 meters
(9.8 feet) at it's highest point. Keep in mind that it is an arch and the height drops down quickly from the highest point.
For the easiest with peace of mind you might have to stay at The Mission hotel and just try and suck up the approx. $175 a night price. Definitely
the fanciest hotel in Loreto and once you get over the sticker shock you should be happy.

Mil Gracias for checking out Hotel Angra. It is definitely a 'no go' for us.
The outer corners of the roof rack on our F350 are at 7'-4". No way to fit under that arch!
Saved me a trip into Loreto to check. Guess it is on to Hotel Tripui.

Thank you Howard, that's good to know ahead of time. Does the Santa Fe have an arch going into the rear lot?
If I was traveling with the Mrs, I'd definitely do the Mision, but I don't need fancy for a few hours sleep. Might come down to it though.

No arch at Santa Fe. You "might" have to unhook to fit it.
Hacienda Suites is right next to Santa Fe and is very comparable. A little bit bigger parking space I believe. About $65 a night. Decent place.

Thanks JZ. From Google Earth, the one on the west side looks biggest. I was assuming that was Santa Fe; maybe I'm backwards.

Yeah, I guess you are right. Hacienda's parking is across the street (alley).
Per Google Earth, one is 90 feet long and the other is 130 feet.
La Mision is like 300 feet long and 150 feet wide.

Hotel MartÃn has gated parking in back. May have to disconnect the boat. Clean and cheap. Not far from El Rey Del Taco.
Desert Inn (the La Pinta) has a HUGE lot that is guarded night-time.

Desert Inn would work for you, easy parking however the hotel itself is a little long in the tooth. Not sure of prices. 60' is a big rig.
Living Large in Loreto. Off-grid and happy.
