It is not the only place... it may be the best place... but that wasn't what I was correcting. I will agree with both of you boys (or is that one boy
and one goat?).
If it was me, and I needed a room... El Rosario is 1.5 hrs. away... 1) Baja Cactus, 2) Turista Motel, 3) Baja's Best B&B... and the other two
places.

That comment misses the whole point to the post. Without driving at night I needed to spend the night in Catavina to be able to take photos 30
minutes before and after sunset and sunrise.

["1) Cabaņas Linda (motel) is across the highway and just north of the hotel formerly called Desert Inn. Reviews have ranged from good (DianaT and
other's posts) to poor (Ken Cooke posts)"]
This is the pink motel on the north side of town.
I've staryed there a few times. One time we stayed there and there were a couple of other families staying too on their way to Central America. They
lefty early. My brother was outside when the owner/maid/whoever came to clean the rooms. She never changed the sheets just straintened them out made
the beds. After that when we stayed there my brother never sleep in a bed he used his camping cot. I just put my sleeping bag on the bed.

That's pretty gross TW! Yah, maybe that is okay for the world class travelers mentioned above... but yech!
Ken, I understand your desire for staying in Cataviņa... it was HowOdd/Goat's comment that I was addressing with the additional info. That hotel
doesn't have very many rooms, so what do people planning on it need to do if it is full...? So, I mentioned that it isn't the only game in town, even
thought it is the best one in a 75 mile radius!

Be serious, David.
Linda is totally third world, and Rancho Santa Ynez is a campground, despite the bunk rooms you mention.
Facts? Give me a break. I will gladly grant you that there are a number of Baja travelers who may find those two places acceptable. But, for the
"tenderfoot" tourist, the Desert Inn, or whatever its new name is, represents to only thing in the area that comes close to what the majority of
American tourists would find acceptable.
I was merely stating that for a majority of touriists in Baja, the "Hotel Mission Catavina", really is the only game in town. You really think that
the three women (three generations, going to see the whales) I was next to at the Desert Inn front desk two years ago at 6pm, who ended up over at
Cabanas Lindas for the night, are going to tell anyone that they found the best place to stay there?
The "Trotters" are world travelers, and while they have discrminating tastes, they will always take refuge in a place that will accept their dogs.

bajahowood:
you are correct, the desert inn is only lodging in town that doesn't have fleas or hanta virus. it is also only restaurant in town that does not
serve salmonella for breakfast.
