Need info on secure motel in or just south of Ensenada
We will be coming through Ensenada 5-23 and will need to locate a secure motel for overnight. There will be 2 trucks one towing a 24' boat, will need
accomodations for 5 and our friend will probably insist on sleeping in his boat, hence the needed security. Any suggestions? Pricing and phone number
or website info would also be appreciated. Lat time we stayed in Ensenada was 1989 so not sure what to expect now. Thanks, Connie & Brett

Connie,
Some with boats have recommended Hussong's Los Pelicanos just north of town on the right side of the road.

Thanks so much everybody, I have a lot of checking to do, so far it looks like Quintas Papagayos is in the lead. Thanks, Connie

Not sure what your budget is, but Estero Beach is offering ocean view rooms for $59 per couple for midweek stays. It is secure and they definitely
have enough room for parking with a boat. I have stayed there a few times and it is nice....

Connie,
My Bad! I gave you the restaurant at Papagayo's not the Hotel name. You've got it sorted out now.
Sorry for the confusion.

Pre-running for the Baja 500 will be in full song by that weekend. Good places for a big rig could be scarce.

Well, it has nothing to do with race week but, we just went to town, stopped at the Bahia for a Bloody Mary and we seemed to be the only two in the
entire place. Nobody on the streets and the parking lot was empty. It's almost an eerie ghost-town type of feeling. Lots of shops are closed and
the rent goes on.
Still, street parking is a problem and if the city fathers don't use this as a learning opportunity, they never will learn. Almost all of the cars
taking up almost all of the street parking are employees and when everything is open, it's worse. The merchants cry poor in good times and don't
seem to understand that there's no place for customers to park.
Oh well....Sorry for the hijack rant.
Stay at Quintas Papagayo. It's next door to a five star restaurant, Sanos. Most of their clientele are local movers and shakers and their business
is good.
Have a safe trip.

I guess it depends upon exactly what they're moving and who they're shaking.
Actually, Ken, the customers at Sano's seem to be the better off leaders of the community...I think.
Oh well, I don't know where I'm going with this 'cause I just don't know. What I do know is the guy sitting at the table next to you in the dining
room probably won't pick your pocket. That's worth something.

Dennis,
My initial thought was those "Movers" usually have a few people gunning for them, wouldn't want to get caught in the crossfire!
Just having fun with ya!
