The "C" on the faucet handle doesn't mean "cold".
Doesn't mean "hot" either.

"C" MEANS COLD

You know it's three stars or better if management does not use "momentito" at least four times during check in.

fabuloso y rosa venus.
Rosa venus the best degreaser, de-piojo and old skin remover on the planet.
Purple fabuloso sanitizing the tile floors across baja, great for quick a fragrant crime scene cleanup.
full bed one skinny pillow
queen one fluffy one skinny.
25 rooms in the hotel, two rooms full #1 and #3. Guess which room is yours?
So your in room #2 listening to the TV full blast in #3. Guests in #3 need to have a conversation by yelling over the volume of the TV
Request to move to #5 takes an act of congress, two room inspections and another remote that doesn't work, which you left a $100p deposit.
#5 has no hot water handle, but #2 did.
#5 has one skinny pillow on the queen when #2 had 2 pillows.
two tylenol pms and two tecates makes everything better

Sounds like none of you have ever stayed at Baja Cactus in El Rosario!?
Hot water, pressure boosted, wash clothes, shampoo, coffee maker in each room, 12 Satellite TV channels, half in English, remote works, AC and Heater
work...
However, no way to avoid rude people in other rooms, 30 minutes of idling diesel pickup noise at sunrise, loud talkers, etc. Always get an upstairs
room because people in heels who like to drag the chairs around will arrive later than you go to sleep or get up before you want to wake! 
It is the best motel on Hwy. 1 in our opinion, and the owner (while long absent from this forum) has been a great amigo to all Baja Noamds and
travelers.

A small tv will be up by the ceiling opposite the beds.
The novella will be about a love affair gone wrong where the antagonist grimaces with such violent anger that you think you're watching a horror
movie.
The only other channel will feature Don Francisco's show:

22. Most Mexican hotels follow "UBC" Unknown Building Code. You know, 120V, metal electrical boxes and black tape as insulation laying on the floor
with lamp wire tapped into a wall opening going who knows where.
D. All of the TV channels are in Mexican and the ones that aren't in in Spanish

You go to return the key and non-functioning remote in the morning and find the office door locked. There's one of those "Will Return At" plastic
clocks in the window but the hour hand is missing.
The name (apodo) of the rooster on the roof is "Bruta"

I just returned from a weekend stay here in the U.S.A. in a room with a showerhead barely 5 feet off the tub floor. I'm 6'5" and a happy quirk in
Mexico is that I've never had to duck under a Mexican showerhead, it makes up for some of those things mentioned previously.

Why does your room smell like a sewer?
Easy...it is one. (like this actual motel room in Austria)
(Note: Anyone ever dare to stay at the Motel Chavez, San Quentin, in the early 70's? )
We set two records at that San Quentin 'motel'.
1. Honest to Thor... to this day, I have never seen a larger c-ckroach than that one on the ceiling over the bed in our
...room.
2. Felipa hit her highest note when she glanced up, spotted it, and screamed.
That was quite a night!
I do what the voices in my tackle box tell me.

You know you're in trouble when your window only opens from the outside.
Wet bathroom floor tile is designed to be slicker than greased teflon. I figure this is done to try and break the legs of any c-ckroach crazy enough
to try and skid across one.
Shower stall thresholds are always an inch taller than your tripping point.
If anyone bets you, that 4 watt incandescent bulbs don't exist, they'd lose.
Premium rooms have shower heads with more than one hole.
Soap dishes are always angled steeply outward to keep water from standing in them.
If you flush a toilet and it doesn't keep running, there is no water today.
Never use a hotel towel to dry the windshield of your car; it'll scratch it.
The only vegetation on the face of the earth you're allergic to is right outside your window.
If your room has a telephone, count on it ringing at three AM.
"Si tenemos WiFI" means "Yes we have WiFI inside the office"
Never punch a pillow trying to plump it up, unless you have a first aid kit.

I didn't read thru the posts and I don't know if these
are quirks or just experiences, I always look for water
pressure, in Barra de Navidad I tossed out a Gecko
from the room, only to reconsider it bad luck so
retrived him and placed him back in his spot,
was streching out on a bed one afternoon kinda
slid my hand under the pillow felt something
warm, alive, with fur, not something you would expect,
after landing back on the ground, found the Motel
cat curled up under the pillow

if there are more than one electric receptacle none of them work because they don't want you to waste their electricity

When did you actually find a lightbulb on the nightstand that worked??
And, my wife has washcloths larger than the Baja hotel towels.
