With the pavement, how long before another hotel is built on Gonzaga Bay, do you think? Rodriguez has had that resort master plan inside the Rancho
Grande store for a dozen years? Now that Los Piños owns the San Quintin and Cataviña hotels, how long before they build the 'Hotel Mision Gonzaga'?

I smell Time Shares,, coming soon to Gonzaga

So, now if there is any questionable stuff on the sheets/bedspread it will be on your sleeping bag, to take with you to the next destination.

The Mission Catavina hotel has the latest heating and AC in the rooms with remote control. The rooms were upgraded when the new owners (the tomato
owner in San Quintin) took over. The rooms for 1 or 2 people is $95 US but a Discover Baja card gets you a 10% discount. They are really nice rooms
just pricey.

-----better it be on the outside of your bag than on the "inside" next to you. My sleeping bag has lots of strange things on the outside of it.

Thanks TW. AfterDavid's post I thought I might of gotten a special room.
Last time I talked to the owners, they stated that given the distance to haul fuel for the generator, food for the restaurant, etc. that they had
no choice if they were to keep up a first class place. They have a point.

these threads do wander, don't they?
but many thanks to all, wonderful input.
After listening, I have solved the problem (I hope!) of the noisy Baja Cactus by booking a room at Baja Best B&B....unless you tell me of problems
there?
take care all. love this board and people who care so much that others have a good time...

Yeah it's been a few years since I stayed at the La Pinta. Glad they now have heat but I wonder how reliable their generators are? A guy by the name
of Stan Duke of Mariposa told me a story 26-years ago about paying $50 for a room (then) jumping in the shower, soaping up then the lights and water
pressure quit when the La Pinta generator died.
I just cannot see paying DOUBLE Motel 6 (Flea Farm) room prices for a room that has 60% of the amenities of a flea farm, four dollar an hour maids*,
and freezing or sweating my butt off. Paying eighty dollars to close my eyes in pitch black tiled quaintness no es mi copa de te. A clean room, with
clean linens, and a gringo-grade bed plus a carry-on electric heater is the way to go IMHO.
*I'm b-tchin' about their exploitation not their service. I usually leave a 50 peso tip.
A Lot To See And A Lot To Do
