Mulege Hotels
Hello,
I am trying to call a few hotels in Mulege for my upcoming Baja trip, but I cannot seem to get in touch with anybody. At one place, I was told that I
have a wrong number. I am hoping if anybody can confirm that they are still there (and open.)
I am particularly interested in Las Casitas and Hotel Hacienda.
I called Las Casitas number shown on their website, but nobody is answering. For Hacienda, I keep getting wrong number.
I have posted a question about Mulege hotel here a few month ago, but I ended up driving through Mulege that time because it was right after Jimana.
As I drove through I checked out Hacienda and it was under repair and the owner (?) there said he plans to open a few rooms relatively soon. And he
gave the number that I am trying to call.
Las Casitas didn't look good at that time, so I am wondering if they are still closed or have new phone number after the hurricane. . .
Do anybody have working phone number for these two places or know if they are really operating now?

From what I've heard the Casitas is open for business, but the Hacienda is way too damaged from the storm.
Any updates from those in town would be great.

just show up. you can get a room most anyplace and check it out 1st.
i don't think they are selling out anytime soon....
Cuesta Real has good rates.
and i always like the Serenidad even though many think it's costly.
i have met more interesting travelers at Serenidad than anywhere else.

I must agree with Capt. Mike about meeting interesting people at Serenidad. Just hang around the bar/ restaurant for a few minutes. However, their
rooms are not just an issue of price. We last stayed there about 6 months ago (pre- Jimena) and the room was very old and tired. Guess they aren't
under much pressure to update the rooms as they are so legendary that people stay there anyway. And, it can't help to be flooded out every year.

i think they just did a major total overhaul because Jimena wiped out all the rooms badly - so new bedding and furniture all around.
the AC runs ice cold in the summer.
in the winter it can get cold in a room, but some have fire places. and free wood.

A friend stopped by the Hacienda a couple of weeks ago to check out the condition and to give my regards to old friend Alfonso. His report was that
rooms were available and that the damage to the oldest part of the hotel which was most damaged was underway. He also reported Las Casitas open for
business.

Mika..
Like Capt Mike says..just show up and you'll find rooms at Serinadad, Hotel Mulege, Hacienda, Las Casitas...don't know for sure about the Cuesta Real.
I visited with Xavier at Las Casitas the other night when we were having dinner there. The place is spotless and the decor is totally
Xavierish...quite nice. A good bet for less than 40 bucks with free wi-fi.
I also visited with Alfonso Cuesta, the owner of the Hacienda Hotel. This place has ambiance, character, and history. Ask Alfonso for a history
lesson on his place..it is amazing. He has rooms available, too. Great atrium area and right downtown...as is the Las Casitas.
Again, don't worry about reservations at any place in Mulege.
Good luck and be safe on the highway...we just had a major accident involving 2 tourist cars hitting head-on south of Mulege. Be careful and alert.
I do what the voices in my tackle box tell me.

A scoop on the Hotel Serenidad. They are offering rooms at 50% off during Dec and January, so if you've ever wanted to stay, now is an excellent
time.
This link lists all the hotels and other businesses that are currently open in Mulege. Sorry, but I don't have current phone numbers for them.

Thanks all for the info, but I really need to call and ask a few questions on my own. I would just walk in if we are traveling on our own, but we are
with some people (in-laws) who are new to Baja & Mexico (they are a bit worried) and they have some special needs (not serious, but they think it
is serious matter!)
The numbers I have are these. . .
615-153-0019 (las casitas)
615-153-0021 (hacienda)
I don't think I am missing any numbers. . . maybe they are too busy with Christmas? I guess I will try calling tomorrow again.
I may try Serenidad next time when we go there on our own. Then again, I am a big fan of Las Casitas' carne asada! : )

Is there "safe" overnight parking at either of the downtown locations?

Great link... it's just so nice to see Mulege rebounding downtown. I think it will probably be longer along the river in the Orchard.

Mika:
I'm in Mulege and I just called both of the numbers you listed. I was able to reach both hotels after only a few rings.
Hacienda has a variety of rooms, both up and downstairs.
Las Casitas has 8 rooms, and depending on when you intend to travel, they recommend that you check to see if a reservation is needed.
If you are calling from the US, be sure to add the following numbers:
011-52 then the 10 digit number you listed above
If you are calling from within Mexico, dial 01 before the 10 digit number.
Hope you can get through!

Ecomujeres/Mika - if you are calling from the USA dial
011-52-1 then the 10-digit number. That extra '1' is VERY IMPORTANT.

Keri, you are correct. There is no extra one between the country code (52) and the area code + phone number. The extra "1" is for calling cells.

Thank you, ecomujeres, for calling the places using the number I wrote. I tried earlier today, but it still didn't go through (it rang, but no
answer). I have called one another Mulege business and the call went through without any problem, so it must be my bad luck.
I am using Skype for all my calls. It will be interesting if that's giving me the problem. . .
I still have time before my trip down, so I will keep checking.

Same for the Cuesta Real, cold and moldy
The Hotel Mulege is well used. No views
The Las Casitas has a nice restruant but old and in disrepair
The bottom floor was flooded
The Hacienda is dangerous
Much flooding and currently in disrepair. Walls fell down in the flood
Beware
I just got back from a quick trip to La Paz and passed thru town |
Have you recently stayed in all of these places you just trashed, or did you just do an inspection of each and decided not to stay at each one as you
passed through town? I would expect that some reports of mold in rooms are valid but in most cases have been cleaned up by now. Why not give Mulege
a break, rather than paint a picture that most properties there are not worthy of consideration?
Most know that Mulege doesn't provide 5 star accomodations, yet in the recent past I have stayed at the Serenidad, Cuesta Real and Las Casitas and
found them to be fine.
