Hotel alcatraz

Missing the hot water showers but it is in a desert. Lots of whales and affordable outings in smaller boats. Town is small and full of dogs. Bring a leash if you have one.

The beds were very hard In the morning there was limited water The hot water was available but not consistent

Not terrible, but nothing special. Rooms were old and run down. Bathroom had no mirror or any place to hang towels. Also no place in room to dry things. Only one table in room and it was all the way in the corner. Public bathroom showers did not work. Breakfast was decent and owner was nice.

Second stay at Hotel Alcatraz, a quiet lovely place, we enjoyed the gardens & staff. A good location to take whale watching trips from.

They need to clean up town

Huge suite with comfy beds, outdoor kitchen in the garden with multiple seating options. Great breakfast. They make your catch/fish to your liking and perfect margaritas.

Great staff and I really enjoyed the breakfast

The place is an authentic Mexican hotel! No fluff! Clean! Restaurant on site. Food was pricey! Breakfast was supposed to be free and we ended up getting charged for the breakfast! The two ladies we dealt with that did the cooking and cleaning were fantastic.

Maria is a charming proprietor with wonderful suggestions. The cook made yummy meals. We loved staying there before and after our whale watching tour. Although we went with another outfit that we met last year, the Hotel Alcatraz also offers tours. Magdalena Bay is a wonderful location for watching Friendly Whales.

Stayed 1 night for whale watching. Place is unassuming from the outside but the covered courtyard/ dining area charming and comfortable, hostess and cook very friendly and helpful. Our unit had 2 enormous king beds and was very spacious and clean. Breakfast was large and the eggs made to order - fabulous for breakfast to be included. We parked on the street just outside and it seemed safe enough. Our friends stayed in a unit across the street that seemed like the driveway was still under construction (it wasn't as charming as staying in the main area). We love our time there and would return.
