Help McFez help Ateo :-)
"......I'm heading to San Felipe for the San Felipe 250 in March. Any motel recommendations"?
Yes Ateo and thxs for the U2
This is a super clean -a/c -pool -security-new motel darn near right across the street from our Campos.....which is about 6 miles north of town.
Here's the issue and where I need help from the fellow BN's:
I cant remember the name of this place 
Alaskashadow....DavidK....Cortez? Someone here can provide the info.

I know it used to be called "Baja Palms", but I think there may have been a name change.

Sorry, don't know the name....
BTW, El Cortez has no rooms during the race weekend. They told me they are all booked out.

Can't quite read the sign
on Street View. Look like it's right about 2 miles So/o the Pemex.
Gee, I'd love to buzz down and have a look for you..

A post a while back suggested a Motel called, I believe,
Diamante, right in the same area as Mc Fez's motel, I think
on the beach side of Hwy going so., right around
El Dorado, give or take, they may have a site, don't know what the crowds
are now, but a few yrs. back, there wasn't a room
barely a campsite in town during the 250, which is
in 3 weeks or so

Thanks mcfez. If I had a camper I'd take you up on that! Someday!
Thanks all. Sounds like a great place. I'll see if it's not all booked up for the 250. We're not sure which pit we're working but I'm trying to
make some basic plans for sleeping the night before.
Thanks Nomads.

Ken Cooke stayed either there or a similar one along the highway north of town... posted lots of photos, talked well of it... Has anyone used Nomad
search? Stand by!
Okay, it was indeed the Diamante... Ken posted on 7-10-2010... his photos are no longer showing, but here is some of what he said:
"Leidys and I were treated to a new, clean facility which boasted total vehicle security - a locked garage for the Rubicon! A heated swimming pool and
an ice-cold Air Conditioner along with Sky Satellite TV and heated shower for $28/night or $56/3 nights were some of the selling points of this
magnificent find.

No :-(
But this place is right down the street. Haven't clue if it is a decent place or not. Always looks clean when I drive by.
I cant believe that the name of the hotel isnt in my brainbone!
