Stayed here in march, is basic but clean. The staff are very friendly in both the motel and attached restaurant. Their whale watching trip was fantastic, right up close to grey whales and their calves. Spanish speaking is not essential but helpful.

A nice clean little place which seem to attract freindly people, with welcoming staff. The rooms are clean and comfy, have good wifi and a good shower with hot water. The parking is safe and the restaurant attached has good food. A perfect stop on our way south..

Large clean rooms. Room had two queen beds and a loft that slept four. The television worked well and had many channel options. Shower was nice and hot. Restaurant and bar were good too. Wi-Fi access worked well. Get the seafood soup at the restaurant! Good value. There is also a gift shop with many shirts and souvenirs.

4 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 February 2013

The room was fine, comfortable, and everything worked. After a very long drive from Ensenada it was nice to have motel and restaurant co-located and convenient. We left a jacket in the room when we left, which they had set aside and waiting for us when we returned 4 days later; nice touch, and consistent with their attentive service.

LCD TV was small, but OK. Be prepared to provide $100 pesos for TV remote deposit at check in. you can hear traffic from the... More

Getting to the point quick. This is good basic lodging. It is clean, affordable, and has hot water. Lodging in Baja can sometimes be inconsistent. Malarrimo is very consistent. The staff is always friendly and helpful. The attached restaurant is convenient and you can also book whale watching tours from the grounds of the motel. Don't stay here if you... More

We were exhausted after our long drive and just made it into Guerrero Negro after dark.. We went to Caracoles which we read about on Trip advisor and we were told there was only room left and it was $850 pesos... Which was more than we wanted to spend... We decided to check out this cowboy hotel which was the... More

There is a motel missing from the review list for Guerrero Negro and that motel is the Cowboy Motel which as you come in to town from Highway 1 is 1 block on the left side of the street before Malarrimo. This is the first time we have stayed at the Cowboy. Before we either stayed at Malarrimo or Corocalas.... More

The motel is very nice with plants everywhere and a pleasant little maze of rooms with walkways in between. Not extremely fancy but quite nice. The $29 amount mentioned in the Trip Advisor entry is probably a bit low, especially during the whale season. There are several other motels in the vicinity and some a probably somewhat less expensive. I'd... More
