Don't stay there!!! it was very nice 2 weeks agoCurt63 - 6-24-2010 at 06:27 PM
I'm sure its very nice....but when I'm in the area, nothing beats Cielito Lindo for a great time.bajajudy - 6-24-2010 at 10:37 PM
This was purely for information only
People seem to ask about where to stay with dogs....here is oneBajahowodd - 6-25-2010 at 04:31 PM
Jardines is pet friendly, as well. However, the Santa has two important pluses. First, they are situated on a beautiful stretch of beach. And second,
as opposed to Jardines, they have something close to 60 rooms. Chances of being turned away as a walk-in appear to be small. (And, $40 a night!)irenemm - 6-26-2010 at 12:42 AM
We are also pet friendly and off the hwy. plenty of room for your pets to run.
With plenty of parking and night watchmen.
have been in business for 40 years.
stop and give us a try

irenemm- You remind me that your place and Jardines both have something going for you that the Santa Maria cannot match. Your places are family owned
and operated. People who value having a diligent owner right there on the site should keep this point in mind. It's something that the "Los Pinos
Hilton" can't match.KASHEYDOG - 6-26-2010 at 04:16 PM

I will get the direction on the web site. But we are South of Ensenada at about 100 miles.
In Vicente Guerrero our turn is 1 mile south of the stop light. WE are just north of the propane plant our road is at the start of the propane plants
fence. WE are on the west side of the hwy and go west on the road for about a 1/2 mile and you will fine us. The road is across from the CFE also. We
do have a sign but it is not the best to see it. You have to know where it is.
Yes we are a family owned and operated business. We live on site also. we have night watchmen too.
I hope you will stop and see us sometime.DirkEXC - 6-29-2010 at 03:25 PM
Bajajudy I was wondering if you would clarify if it is the OLD Mill Hotel or the OLD Mill restaurant that was purchased. If it is the Hotel I am going
to miss Jim & Nancy and the cold Pacificos.
I dont think the other post ever got corrected " Not Yours" where the head line read Old Mill burned down when it was actually Donedies that burned.KASHEYDOG - 6-29-2010 at 03:43 PM
Hey DirkEXC !!
Just talked to Jim at the Old Mill Hotel on the phone (1 800 479 7962 ) They haven't sold out and are still there. I too am relieved to hear that.
They have always been wonderful hosts. I'll enclose a link to their web site below.
The Old Mill e-mail address has changed from what is listed on the web site. It is now

Pinos is a family company as well as every business we own
we have been in San Quintin for more than 50 years, My Grandfather went to the US when WWII when labor was needed and got enough to buy an acre of
land to start a new life away of michoacan, those where rough times still had 11 children, my uncles continued his dream and had become what people
see now!
Isnt that the American Dream?
Im not writing this to talk (critizice) about other places to eat or to stay at san quintin but to let you know that you can come to our place anytime
you want and see for yourself and judge!
Thanks.
