Hey guys, were planning to go to San Felipe on semana santa. Any cheap hotel you recommend?? Were only planning to sleep one night there, and then off
to highway 1 thru Gonzaga bay. Thanx in advance.

This has been asked a few times, I don't think you get
much for the $ in SF, there are 6-8 in the downtown
area, if I were staying 1 nite I would look at El Capitain,
2 blks so. of the Malecon

San Felipe during Semana Santa is a zoo. If you do happen to get a place at El Capitain for one night, don't plan on getting much sleep. Fireworks
go off most of the night. No thanks, I've been there, done that.

We've stayed a bunch of times at the Langosta Roja - a decent hotel with friendly people only 1.5 blocks from the Malecon, but it's LOUD overnight.
All night partying bar-goers in the neighborhood, loud musica, sirens from police cars, downtown noise, etc.

San Felipe is a place that actually gives Baja a bad name.

thats bad to hear. I was there last year, and we stayed in a hotel called Georges. It was a nice experience and we didnt had any problems. But we
didnt went in semana santa, we went on memorial day. Maybe memorial day its quieter than semana santa.

Tijuana and Rosarito are the places that give Baja a bad name up here... I have never heard of too many be-headings and narco gang wars happening in
San Felipe. The worst thing there in recent memory was the kidnapping of motoged's motorcycle.

Why not choose a motel north of town? There are at least 3-4 on HWY5 as you head into town. Not expensive & much quieter for a good nights sleep.

Search for post by Ken Cooke on the motel north of town he uses... and he has two small dogs too. Ken posted photos of it.
edit: It is the Diamante, west side of highway.

No no no !
San Felipe is an excellent destination......whoever said that this town gives The Baja a bad name should be put on the ol' plank and off to shark'ies
:-)
It's a great town that is absent of the drug cartel issues. The downtown area is a little nuts during the Spring breaks....but really at night time.
Would I rent a room near the malicon or downtown during the Spring break....the answer is no.
North of town (6 miles) there are four or five motels. Once you pass the El Dorado....start looking...... the first settlement you'll see on the right
(Edido) has three nice motels. Reservation is recommended.
Old people are like the old cars, made of some tough stuff. May show a little rust, but good as gold on the inside.
