Hotel Mision Catavina - dogs allowed?
We were planning to spend tomorrow night in Catavina, however when looking on the Hotel Mision's website it says No Pets Allowed. We have a dog.
However, the site is sort of an umbrella corporate site so I'm hoping that message is just boilerplate. Unfortunately the phone # there sends you to a
reservation hotline for many hotels, and the rep there was unable to answer the pet question or actually give me a local phone # for the HM.
Any info would be appreciated - I'd hate to show up and be turned away due to a pet in the middle of nowhere, though that doesn't seem the Baja way...

Yes
I asked in October of 2013 there and at the hotel in San Quintin and both places responded yes.

Look to stay before or after Catavina. The hotel will accept pets - for a fee - and not a small one. Close to 300 pesos as I recall.

Just do what I do:
Have a couple beers in the parking lot to loosen up then grab your dog and just walk right thru the lobby as if you're a regular.
Works every time. JK.
:LOL:
Actually I did do this once after driving 15 hours that day to find that they had 1 room left and it was not a dog room. We squeezed two families in
that room.
I put the dog in the front seat for the night and she was freaking out big time. My wife finally demanded that I get the dog in the room or tie her
(the dog, not my wife) to the bumper. I didn't want to leave her out there all night tied to the bumper so I had a few Tecates to loosen up, and just
walked her right into the hotel as if I had full approval.
I'm sorry to all the people out there that'll say this was wrong, but it was my wife's orders. I always book ahead with pet friendly places nowadays.

We stay there often with our pets, 2 dogs and 2 cats. It is 180 pesos for pets as I recall. I don't say I have 2 dogs and 2 cats, I just say I have
"pets". I take them all through the main lobby going in and out, nobody has ever said anything about it.

do NOT tie a dog to anything in Baja and leave it alone! Coyotes will think it's a buffet invitation...
As I drove into San Miguel tonight a very healthy coyote ran across the road to welcome me and poodle, who is now staying with me at all times...
PS-- I have travelled with large/small dogs and stayed at various Baja hotels, and agree with advice: walk in like you belong there. If they question
you, "better to apologize than ask permission."

I didn't tie the dog to the bumper. That was my wife's idea. Oh, and she is not a gringo.
I did the best thing I could for my dog and brought her in the room. My wife didn't think about the coyote factor.
Chill out. 
Peace.
