Baja California can be a heaven or hell experience - often the determining factor is your AWARENESS in the moment.

I stayed at the Cowboy Hotel on my trip last February. I was very impressed with the place. It was around $450p for the two of us to share the room,
very clean and people were very friendly and helpful. I plan on staying there on my "Return to Baja" trip in September.

and I love the store filled with nickknacks at Malarrimo. They have one of the nicest collections of everything Mexico that I have seen anywhere
and their filet mignon is heavenly

Cowboy Hotel not Real Dog Friendly
We never mind being turned away if someone does not want to accept dogs---it is their choice to turn away the business. And if they don't like dogs,
that is also their choice.
To try something different, we stopped there a few weeks ago. They were empty, but the lady really let us know that she did not like dogs but maybe,
and she would have to check.
That was enough for us---we politely said never mind and headed for our usual Las Ballellas

Las Ballenas now has wi-fi to all the rooms---nicest and most welcoming family around. It is an old style Baja Hotel.

We accept pets and the humans that tag along with them.
Most of the time the humans behave.
The pets always do.
Let your friends know we will take the 4 legged kind and the ones with only 2 leg also.

For those of us who travel with our pets, it is ALWAYS good to hear about any place that is dog friendly.
Thank you, Irene---we will spread the word.

when we came down last week we drove by but didnt stop and check it out, no one other. At that point, no one if the parking lot doesnt give a good
impression (but that is just me). We stayed across the street at the Los Caracoles ($65, more than Cowboy). On our way back because of the great
posts we will stop at cowboy and check it out, we will probably stay there or catavina (if we can make it that far).

Thank you Irene. We always travel with our small dog and seek out dog-friendly places to stay. We are respectful of the establishment and appreciate
that our dog can be with us. We will keep you in mind, one never knows where you'll end up traveling down that road. We have stayed at Ballena and
the family is very welcoming.

Although the town gets a great deal of traffic during the whale season, there really has not been an explosion of really nice hotels. As Shari's
photos depicted, Cowboy is very pleasant. We've stayed there a couple of times, having also stayed at Caracoles. Caracoles is undoubtedly among the
top tier for GN, but I do really feel just a tad better at Cowboy. And, I think it's a healthy situation when folks post about pet friendly hotels v.
those who will not allow them. Pet owners, if they are responsible, will understand that there are travelers who have pet allergies. In addition, in a
number of places along the highway, there are towns that do not have the facilities to adequately clean bed covers or duvets. I view it as similar to
folks, who number in the millions that have peanut allergies. They should not have to guess about what they are eating or where they are staying.
That said, we have a cat. but, she stays home when we travel.

There's this barking dog that follows me everywhere in Mexico. I'd like to shoot it.

How long does it take to get to Guerro Negro from Rosarito and does this Cowboy Hotel stay open all night? Asking as in October we will be taking our
Jeep down to La Paz then Cabo and back to Rosarito. We have been staying at Las Gaviotas just outside of Popotala and will be leaving from there going
South. We were told Guerro Negro should be our first stop and then an all day drive into La Paz. What would be a good hotel in La Paz? Thanks and
not trying to steal the tread just expanding it,LOL. Take Care and Travel Safe, bajafun777
