New pet friendly hotel for all you dog lovers.......
There's a number of very good hotels south of TJ to stay on your way down or up, and El Rosario's Cactus Motel and San Quintin's Villa Hotel are
certainly two of them. The Villa in San Quintin is the first I know of that is actively courting pets with a whole new wing devoted to pets and their
owners.
Here's what you see from the street at the south end of town-
The older building has been around for 6-7 years now but the pet/smoker wing just opened last week-
The rooms are always spotless. The non-pet wing is carpeted and the pet side is tiled. Great beds and internet. Rates are under $500Mx/night but
pet owners must offer a credit card or cash deposit as a security deposit.
And if that's not enough, their restaurant (with room service if you wish) is outstanding. Ravolis and the Cesar salad with grilled chicken are our
favorites...most items, unless you go for big steaks, are around $100Mx.
You can make a reservation by email by putting "Naomi" in the subject line at- villasanquintin@hotellavilla.biz . Naomi will confirm your request.
If you have a dog be sure to tell her so she can save you the right room.
Things are expensive, but at least we get a free trip around the sun once a year

Thanks for the heads up!
So they have a pet smoking rooms in case my dog wants a puff? 
Looks like a great alternative to Jardines. Is it on the main highway at the south end?
Seriously, are the pet rooms also smoking rooms? If so, do they have the smoked in smell?

The picture of the room shows a tile floor (assume pet friendly) and a no smoking card on the table.

Good questions....
I asked Naomi if I could try out the new dog/smoke side and she said I'd get a room that has never been used yet for pets or smoking. If I can catch
her in the morning before I leave I will ask about non-smoking dog rooms and smoking non-dog rooms.
This might be pushing the Mexican envelope a bit....ya think?

Naomi responds.........
Hello Mr. Apple:
Thank you for posting our information on the newsletter and your kind recommendation. Just to let you know, there are two specific pet friendly rooms
and those are non smoking, additional non-smoking and smoking rooms are also available in the new wing, but they will all be designated and identified
with the appropriate signs at the entrance of each rooms in due time.
Thanks again,
Naomi N.

But what room would we take if my dog smokes and I don't? 
Once again, thank you for the post.

We have stayed at both, great with very nice folks who tolerate my broken English and Spanish. I think we were some of the first folks to stay at the
Villa after it opened and it is our go-to pit stop on the way North, usually making reservation over the phone or stopping on the way down. It is nice
getting to San Quintin as it gets dark and not having to deal with the road to Old Mill. Iguana Inn is our Loreto spot with several years at Su Kasa
Bungalows too.

We stayed here two years ago and loved it. The rooms were comfy and clean. The owners and staff were kind and generous (he even gave my daughter some
of the roses he was trimming). The food from the restaurant was yummy and the room service was an added bonus after a long hard day of driving. Love
that there is a pet friendly wing now, we'll definitely stay there again.

First hand report
Stayed in room #117 last night and it was really, really nice. With my dog, it was a little more than most, 610 pesos but if one has no problem with
that amount, I highly suggest you stay there. They even mentioned that they have dog beds available if you don't bring one.
I still like Jardines but these rooms are much more modern and extremely clean and much more spacious. The flat screen TV must of been at least 40"
and got all the channels I needed. The staff spoke English and was very helpful and friendly.
The restaurant was clean and the staff was attentive, food moderately priced and it tasted good, not great but very good.
All in all, I would definitely stay again even though I would miss eating at the restaurant next to Jardines.
By the way, I would consider it more on the North end of town, not the South end but either way, you can't miss it. It is on the East side of the
street.
I think Naomi said there are only 2 pet friendly rooms but I am not 100% sure on that.

The restaurant is incredible. The best food I have ever had. On a trip home from La Paz, my friend said lets stop here. We did and walked in and
looked at the menu. I said this looks like dennys... lets go! The owner heard me and said something to th affect of....."does dennys have fresh shrimp
and scallops over linguini"? I said no. He said ...."come inside and give us a chance"
The food was incredible! The sunday brunch is the best. They hand make the pastries on Sun. This place is the real deal.
I think hes a little high on the room price when your heading north,..... about 75 bucs.

I love Don Eddie's RV camp/bar/restaurant/hotel just south of San Quintin; it's on the same graded dirt road as Molino Viejo, but the prices are
better, the food and bar are just as good, and the 3-person staff does not speak English, which I consider a plus. They have lots of live-in pets
(just got a baby goat in January), and it's a total "come as you are" kinda place.
