Casa La Castañeda

We loved outdoor patio and kitchen. wonderful. We loved the security of the facility. Location was good.

it seeded the owners did not care about the place - still had dusty Halloween and Christmas decoations up at end of January. Coffee did not work properly. We had to fight for 2 days to get wifi password so we could contact our family at home. The lamp in the room did not have a switch on it and we had to plug and unplug to turn on and off. There were only 2 plugs in entire room - hard to plug in lamp an computers and phones at same time.

Absolutely lovely and inviting common garden and kitchen space, with plenty of room and resources to store, prepare and enjoy your food or coffee. There is also the sweetest bird colony onsite which makes for cheerful chirping in the mornings! Some rooms are more comfortable than others -- hostess Adelina was wonderfully accommodating when we asked if a different room was available; we were lucky, as she moved us immediately to a more spacious room that happened to be available, and this improved our stay in Loreto tenfold! This inn is charming, quiet, safe, and very sweet AND convenient to great food options!

Like many hotels, motels and inns in this part of Mexico, the rooms here rely on harsh overhead bright fluorescent lighting, and in some cases, the table lamps also use these bulbs. Room 1 had lovely warm incandescent bulbs in the table lamps; Room 4 uses only fluorescent lights, and it also has very, very small glass block windows so this room has no natural light either, making this a less than ideal place to relax or read in the evenings. Some beds could use new mattresses as well, as some dip in the middle.

Wonderful shared area with kitchen, very pleasant.

Bed was a full size, not a queen as listed. It was comfortable though, just a bit small.

Grounds - birds chirping from corner pen. Huge covered Veranda/patio with tables n chairs. Secure space as gate is locked. Room clean. Well appointed.

Room - double bed size only in double room. King bed size in rooms for 4 only. Wanted to get a Q or K in double room. Not available. Won't return. Shared kitchen - food stolen. Easily remedied w store 5 min. No water pressure in shower. Annoyingly Squeeky bed.

Lovely host, clean property, and great location.
