Many good memories there. Always pulled in hot and tired going both ways. I like the rooms on the back side because of road noise from big rig jake
breaks on the front side.

Agree, Cactus Motel next to Mauricio's. Good room at good rate and Mauricio's has been a favorite for many years. |
Ate at Mauricio's last July... fish and chicken for us, both good.

ah, sante inez was just like that - Goldilocks and the three bears - with all those uncomfortable beds and a wee drip of cold water coming out of a
hole in the ceiling - the neat thing was waking in the early hours to a horse licking the mist/water off the top of our car - priceless
when we stayed at the "pink hotel" it was the earliest I have been up and ready to go in many a year - as well all the other guests were racing for
their cars way before check out - rats in hot pursuit - well, they could easily have been part of what was in the room - eerie rooms with dirty sheets
and electricity doled out sparsely
the Presidente hotel or whatever the "big" one is is pretty nice, view to the desert out back, pool and really nice food and people working there - in
American money it is very worth it and with the pool to hang in after a hot day's drive - I travel quite frugally but stopping there and being on that
amazing desert first thing in the morning and last thing at night is a real gift!and definately well worth it or so we have felt since trying it out a
few years back

Absolutely. The key to experiencing the very best of Baja is to rise early and to be active during the last 2 hours of daylight. Trying to reach your
motel by 5pm so as to fill a reservation doesn't make it.

We tried to stay there but it was full. Nuevo Rosarito would be a logical place to have a bigger hotel as this is where it starts to get dark trying
to get to GN sometimes! and if Maru in Rosalillita is full. trouble is if they are both full...that drive to GN in the dark is extremely treacherous
for cows on the road and narrow road.

When the Rodriguez family took this place over, they did many upgrades, including the generators which allows them to keep the power on all day. There
were times when we would arrive there at like 4pm and the room was blazing hot,and with no electricity, we had to wait an hour to turn on the A/C. But
what I don't understand is why they did not put in solar power, which, in the long run, would be much cheaper, and possibly allow them to lower the
room rates.
