Loreto Motel Options?
If not the Iguana Inn (no vacancy), where would you recommend friends stay for one night on a trip... ? Single comfortable bed (queen or king),
bathroom in the room, AC would be nice (in July)... not over $60 prefered.
How about restaurants?

We always stay at this little hotel we found more than adequate...nice rooms, great beds, clean, AC, TV, even has a view of the sea and very
cheap...like $30 or so.
I cant remember what it's called...something like Brisa del Mar or Brisa de Cortez....it is the only hotel that is at the edge of the big arroyo. The
police told us about it. The only thing is that there is a hall across from it so not so good if there is a wedding or party or something on a
saturday night, but other than that, it is perfect for a one nighter....someone here may know the name of it.

There's a neat B&B called Damiana. Don't remember what the rates were. It's downtown with secure parking etc.

I suggest just to roll into Loreto and not worry about any reservations. Hotel rooms galore and all with A/C.
Plaza de Loreto,
Hotel Salvatierra
Motel Brenda
Hotel San Francisquito
A brand new one on Juarez
These are all very reasonable and clean
Never heard any comments on the one Shari mentioned, but it looks decent and clean. From downtown to the right on Madero, on the left just before you
enter the Arroyo.I believe Brisa del Mar may be right.

A $60.00 price was mentioned and the Suites will not come anywhere near that. They're too expensive and overrated. They may negotiate a discount (no
business) but if paying their quoted price, you may as well stay on the waterfront in the beautiful Mision Hotel

I would suggest checking on tripadvisor.com for the available hotels and rates. I did notice, however, that some of the hotels listed are no longer
available, such as Nellie's Place.
Looks like Hotel Luna would be a good choice to check out.

David, looks like you've got good advice here. Kim says Damiana is nice, you might try Coco Cabanas, they are seperate cottages. Damiana is in a two
story building renovated. Hacienda Suits is kind of out to the east. Resturants are easy in LTO ther's so much to choose from. Mita's, Islas Loreto
are great first class places. Meditranio if you have $ to spend, Supper Burro on the economical side, many more. We'll have dinner together when
you're there. Phil

The name of the new hotel on Juarez is Hotel Angra. It looks really nice, and it has a nice upstairs coffee shop with expresso and snacks. I hear it
's very inexpensive, but don't know the rates.

HOTEL Junipero, right in front of the church. About $35 to $40 per night. T.V., two queen beds, great shower and air conditioning. Located in the
heart of Loreto and close to everything.
If there is no fishing in heaven, I am not going

I stayed once at the Junipero with my daughter and a friend before I bought a place here. They both said that the c-ckroaches there were the biggest
they had ever seen in their lives. They were young, however, and had not traveled much. I'm pretty sure I've seen roaches as big in equatorial
Africa.......

Last time I stayed at the Salvatierra about a year ago it had become a dump even by my low standards and I'm a guy who thinks the Dunas in GN is at
least a two star hotel. Stayed at Plaza Loreto, nice but at the top end of my budget.

I always, always stay at the Plaza Loreto hotel. Have stayed there since the Original Mission hotel closed. The people running the Plaza are always
genuinely friendly and accomodating. The best thing about it is the location... right in the heart of the town on the main drag walking distance from
the malecon, from restaurants, from real estate offices, from the Mercado, from the mission, from Bancomer and the place you pay property taxes.
Usually don't need to use the car once I get the room.
The actual accomodations make the rental price about appropriate, but the Plaza hasn't changed their rates since before the most recent real estate
boom and bust and their exchange rate is always fair (unusual). I appreciate that.
I am a very cheap person, and I love Loreto and I love the Plaza Loreto Hotel. It means "Baja" to me. I used to feel the same way about the old
Mision hotel until it became a gringo resort.

"c-ckroaches there were the biggest they had ever seen in their lives." I have stayed there many times and never saw a c-ckroach....you sure they
weren't black cats or something? Still, its a good value for your pesos.

Used to go to Loreto all of the time. My favorite restaurant by far is Mitas, right next to the town square. Try the fresh fish with garlic butter and
the cheesy clams appetizer. The owner is a wonderful host and the food is awesome!
