They have changed their name to Desert Inn. That might help.

Every La Pinta/ Desert Innn I've stayed at has had a pervasive fecal smell. I would recommend the Oasis, a little tired, only eat breakfast in the restaurant. Other than that it's a cool place. I'm sure others more in the know will know other places.

The Oasis is also on the link I posted.
I too like the Oasis but La Pinta is ok too.

You may also want to try the Iguana Inn, nice and very reasonable.

I was in Loreto about a week ago and drove by the Pinta, looked like some construction going on and the pool looked closed, we stayed at the Oasis, a $130 rip off but maybe the best in town.

Most likely, the Oasis is $130 per night. My friends have liked it - right on the beach. Close to everything. Iguana Inn is much less expensive but is not on the ocean and serves no food or beverage (you can buy and bring in, however.)

I would never stay at the La Pinta/Desert Oasis again...dogs are welcome there - which means fleas. I had no hot water in my room - after SCUBA diving and that was a drag. Consider it a blessing that you haven't gotten through to them.

I am hoping you are not insinuating that all hotels that accept dogs have fleas. I have
stayed in many that accept dogs and were very clean and "flealess":yes:




Remember, when in Mexico, yes may be no and no may be
maybe!

Yes I would think that you could get your rig in there. The lot runs the length of the hotel behind the rooms. I would think that it is very secure too. There is also a parking lot on the road but I would not want to leave a boat parked there.
Be sure to ask for a room on the beach with a patio. We had asked for some special suite or something but when we got there it was a two story structure right by the road.
The rooms are huge. Be sure to get one on the beach.
