I stayed at Jardines last December. They accept dogs. They have room heaters. Coffee in the lobby. The restaurant was great for dinner and
margaritas. They did not open for breakfast, but the orchard on the grounds provided a nice fruit salad while walking the dogs waiting on my caravan
partner to finish packing up their car. The Guyuba's were delicious. Warm and friendly employees.

place I stayed at was damned near a miracle. Highly appreciated.
I stopped in Rosarito on the way up, got the sand sucked out of the car and mud scraped off the outside. And lost (forgot) my Canadian crutch in the
process. That'll learn me. Boy I can't wait for the next trip, grumble-stumble.
Folks have mentioned a restaurant (?) at or near Jardines.
Try as I might I cannot scrape up enough money to eat in a fancy place. The reason why I am asking all of these questions is El Rosario is about the
limit of my endurance. If I were to push on another 40 (?) miles to a remotely located hotel in the dark, my cataracts would not allow me to start a
snipe hunt for an affordable restaurant. I appreciate your patience. |
Baja-Jardines IS the restaurant... and closed one night a wek (mon?), they added a motel a few years ago... only a few rooms. IF you pass El Rosario
and find Jardines full, then you will need to go to one of the 'in city' motels just north in Lazaro... Los Cirios is highly recommended on Nomad...
I know you, and your safe bet is to stay where you know it will be ideal, Baja Cactus... and you can visit Mama Espinoza next door [she's 105 or more,
this year] and she will probably still remember you from your trip in 1965 (if I remember that was the correct year?)]!!!

Of the many times we have stayed at Jardines, we never encountered a room with a tub. But since Guillermo and Carmen basically built out their own
home, I guess there is a room or two. We have stayed in a room with a fireplace, however.
With respect to what DK said about alternatives, should Jardines be full, there are two excellent places nearby on the main highway that are next to
each other. Villas de San Quintin, and Maria Celeste. Stayed in both when the Jardines restaurant was closed on Mondays.
But as has been mentioned about the gardens and the distance from highway noise, Jardines is my choice. But prepare for the cacophony of birds early
in the morning. It is like an aviary.

Los Cirios in Lazaro is a good back up, if the other places are full. 2 blocks up the street next to Marie Celeste. Front rooms are spacious with good
beds and showers. Animal friendly.

One of my favorite places to stay when I'm in Tijuana is "Motel Premier" which isn't too far away from Tijuana tourist area, or Plaza Río, or main
business district in Tijuana.
For a conservative Catholic country, Mexico sure has some nice surprises in hotel and motel choices.
A hotel like Motel Premier is a wonderful place to take your girlfriend, and in Mexico it's not uncommon for middle class Mexican man and above to
have a mistress and so they will use these discreet private upscale love motels to carry on their affairs. You don't even get out of your car and you
just drive up to your private garage, park your car, and then go inside these fairly luxury motel room. You can also take a taxi here, and these love
hotels aren't just for lovers, as many married couples go to these upscale love motels to spice up their marriage. The room service with dinner and
drinks is great, and the price are very good.
I been to most of the upscale Tijuana hotels like "Hotel Lucerna, and the Grand Hotel Tijuana, aka Las Torres that charge about $100 dollars. And the
" Premier" is right there with those hotels for about 1/2 the price. Although places like the "Premier" usually rent for four hours at a time, but
they also have rooms for overnight for about the same price, although you might not get the jacuzzi in the 24 hour room rental.
Every major city in Mexico have these types of "love motels" and in Tijuana alone has probably over ten of these types of upscale motels.
