Hotel rooms in Santa Rosalia?

Hook - 5-31-2012 at 07:09 PM

I remember a spate of rumors a few months back about how it is nearly impossible to get hotel rooms in SR because the mine is supposedly back in operation and all the rooms in town are taken by workers.

Is this true? A group of boaters is considering going over from San Carlos in mid June and wants to know if rooms are an option.

it is true but there are still rooms available...try El Morro...make a reservation perhaps?

Shari, do you think it would be possible to get a taxi BACK to the marina from El Morro at, say, 5am? On a Sunday, to boot?

Try the Hotel Frances
OR Las Casitas....the owner is a nomad.

It seems mining activities are picking up elsewhere as well. One of the rooms at Baja Cactus in El Rosario is now rented by the month to a mining engineer! Just passed through this week and learned that particular room is no longer available.

Heavy construction going on north of town on the water front.

Looks like that's where the ore loading will be happening, I would guess.

Of course, the price of commodities has really tanked in the last week. I wonder if this might affect the mining operations.

The market is in free fall today. Oil may test below 80.00/barrel. Much fear in the market.

Yes to the taxi question. You could try Brenda at Las Casitas. The Industrial hotel is right across from the marina. Rooms are at a real premium and a little glitch in the market is not going to affect the 3,000 workers at the mine overnight. I would make sure you have a reservation so that you don't get over here and find everything taken.

I was through there last week and hit town around 5PM from San Diego. A real mess on the grade and then the north end of town.El Morro full, Las Casitas full. The slog continued to Mulege for the night. Have reservations is my advice.

The hotels might be full, and the town busy with mining-related activity, but the Boleo Mining Company is in deep financial trouble at the moment. This is their latest press release, http://www.bajamining.com/static/news/NR27_2012-05-30_Final....

Hook - 6-1-2012 at 08:52 AM

Yeah, that definitely sounds like problems there, for the mine.

Thanks for that other option, Jim. Gotta local number for them?

Here is what I have..

Number for Las Casitas..
044-615-155-0278 or mariahsantarosalia@hotmail.com

Hook - 6-1-2012 at 11:38 AM

Thanks, Tijereta. Got a number for the Industrial?

Glad to hear the Santa Rosalia economy has picked up. Four-five years ago, it seemed the squid-processing plant was about the only thing going in town.

Pescador - 6-2-2012 at 07:16 AM

Okay, Hook, don't know why I am doing this, you guys just come over and catch my fish.:no::no:

Brenda, at Las Casitas, has added some new rooms that are smaller singles and I don't know if they are open at this point. Her number is 615-153-3023.

Terco's Pollito which is a restaurant has 7 rooms that are reasonably priced and it is right by the Gymnasium as you enter town. 615-152-0075

Hotel Industrial is right across from the old marina dock. 615-152-1857

And El Morro which would necessitate a cab. 615-152-0414

It's just a fish over and fish back, Jim. Not doing the Bulls Only tournament.

Besides, isn't the old saw that the guys from San Carlos cant fish, anyway...........? :lol:

Never knew Terco's had rooms. Definitely my favorite restaurant in SR, but I have never eaten at El Muelle and some rave about it.
