Not a great Hotel, but not bad for a budget. The staff was friendly, limitted english, but as accomadating as possible. When we first arrived we were very optomistic. But even before we could check in they had a mistake in our reservation. They tried twice to send us to the normal room instead of the upgraded room we had paid for. If I were to do it again, I wouldn't upgrade the room. On our third attempt we got the room we were suposed to. It was clean (clean as most hotels that is) and we were excited about how the staff made a swan out of the hand towel in the bathroom and folded the other towels to look attractive. We even took pictures hoping to post them, thinking that maybe this hotel was getting a bum wrap with people comparing it to higher end hotels. Parking can be very limitted if you get in late and you may have to park on the street. The last few nights of our stay there was no hot water due to a water heater failer. This was not a huge deal since the unheated water temp was barable. The refridgerator needed to be defrosted before it would cool efficently. The distance to Squid Row is as described, but I assume most people would prefer to drive due to the heat. I would consider staying here again because of the price and the willingness of the staff to be helpful and friendly.
Non-Hotel, Cabo report. This town is very very touristy. Very expensive for Mexico. Way too many Time share solicitors. If you attend their presentations, plan on at least double the time they promised you. Was hit up by a few drug dealers and one prostitute. If you are willing to go off the beaten path you can find some vallues. Driving was not bad here, just be cautious. One plus was the Costco on your way into town, just like the ones here, and of course your card works there also. If you need internet access, there are cafe's all over the place. $2-3/ hour and if you have your own laptop you can hookup for the same price. At the airport don't shop downstairs, the shops upstairs have better prices. You can purchase perfumes, liquor, and the like there. Have fun.
