Budget Hotels?

[Rob]

Hola.

I'm thinking of taking a day trip soon, but may decide to spend the night. Can anyone weigh-in on some safe, clean "budget" hotels that I won't necessarily need a reservation for? Ideally with A/C, the ability to flush toilet paper, and take a hot shower.

Thanks in advance!

We stayed a few times at Hotel Posada La Roca while looking at real estate. Cheap,clean,safe, on the Malecon. Couldn't ask for more

I have heard that. Do you think I would need a reservation, or could I play it by ear even on a busy weekend?

Can't say about the reservation but better safe than sorry. I've stayed there and have only the best things to say about it, but be advised that overnight parking is on the street. I had fishing and camping equipment with me and the owner was extremely gracious in opening the gate so I could park inside his patio wall each evening, but I felt a little bad about accepting his offer to do that. as it's a nuisance, If you can bring your valuable inside each night, it's not a problem. But even something of low value could result in getting a windown broken out at 2 a.m.

I have also stayed there. It is probably the nicest budget hotel I have ever stayed at. Clean!!
Bring your own pillow though. They don't have much in the way of fluff.
Can't beat the location either if you don't want to drive and the weather is nice. Very close to dinner and drinks.
I agree on calling ahead. Make sure you talk to the owner, he speaks very good English. I only say this because I tried to reserve and the girl got the days mixed up. No problem as they were not booked up anyway.

I have stayed many times. Great little hotel. Great location. Free Wi-Fi. Free coffee. You won't regret staying there. Ask for Jorge the owner or Carla his daughter. 011-52-638-383-3199.

 

[Rob]

Thank you all! I left a message and sent an email.

If that doesn't work out, are there any others I should look at?

 

[tequilatodd]

None that I know of. I have only stayed there. Keep calling, he will answer

Yeah. Doesn't sound like my jam.

I have seen the Hotel Senorial and it did not impress me from the outside.
Maybe Laos Mar
Prob not a budget hotel but nicer than Hotel Senorial

Granada Del Mar. Right on the beach on the Mirador. Rooms around 45-50.

 

[badfish]

I second Granada Del Mar. Ask for a first floor room if available.

 

[badfish]

Here is their number. 011-52-638-388-2742

Never heard of that place.

 

[Hobie Vern]

Never heard of that place.

It's on one of the side streets in old port.

 

[Rob]

Wow. Looks like I got into La Roca on Friday / Saturday on Memorial Day weekend.

I'd imagine I'll need a trip to la farmacia para zolpidem if I'm going to get any sleep.

I'll try Granada del Mar next trip out.

Thanks all.

Naw, La Roca is up the hill from the noise and action. You prolly can hear the Malecon bands but only faintly if you went outside. Nice thing is you can walk down and enjoy listening to them.
