I feel compelled to write a review as Trip Adviser is our travel bible, and this is the first time we feel let down.
Thankfully, we made a last minute decision to rent a car at the airport, otherwise we would have been committed to this place.
If the price for this room was $ 40 to 45, then OK, but the price is way too high for a room stuck literally in the middle of nowhere.
There are no local cafes, eateries....... no charm, it'.s just a seedy-ish part of town and our room overlooked a junk car yard.
We took a deluxe room at the top of the stairs. When I pulled back the top cover to look at the sheets, there were black hairs all over the pillowcase.
Two water coolers on the stairs were empty.
The pool was full and I mean full of local families, non guests.
I truly cannot understand how anyone could rate this place as excellent. If you're on holiday, you want to be around the action a little, and by that I don't mean nightclubs, I mean a place to eat, shops etc.
We moved to the quiet end of The Malecon. For only $ 30 more we struck a deal at the beautiful Posada de las flores. What a relief it was to check in.
La PAz is a great, authentic Mexican town. Very few foreign tourists, which we like. Loads of places to eat. Great beaches a 15 minute drive away. Some of the best beaches I've ever visited.
It's a real functioning town, not a tourist trap.
Enjoy La Paz, and do not make the mistake of checking into Casa Jalisca unless you have a car and can get out really quickly!

We recently stayed here for 3 nights. The owner Juan spent a lot of time with us and genuinely likes being a local "ambassador" and is a great guy. We were out fishing during the days (not so good in mid September) and returned each evening. Juan and Roberto (the night clerk/artist!) gave us great suggestions for restaurants. If you stay there, ask them for their advice. In the mornings, Juan got up very early (5:30) to prepare us a breakfast which was great. He even went out to get some ingredients so he could make a custom breakfast for us. He also made the kitchen available for us to prepare lunches with ingredients we bought at the nearby market. We brought back some fresh Dorado one day and Juan took us to his favorite restaurant for dinner where his friend the chef prepared our catch a couple different ways, overlooking the waterfront at sunset, with live music, it was one of the highlights of our trip.

We had 2 rooms, one was absolutely fantastic, the other was nice. The air conditioning worked great, that was my number one item.

They have a nice pool although it was unavailable from 4-7 each day when we would have liked to use it. But they were accommodating about it.

The whole city is safe, we never felt any worries about it. These guys have a great attitude and will do anything to make your stay enjoyable. Roberto presented us with a caricature/sketch of us fishing as we were departing. Would definitely give this 2 thumbs up.

I was traveling alone for dental work and stayed 10 nights on the recommendation of a friend who has a house in the baja. I was a teeny bit nervous being a middle-aged woman who doesn't speak spanish. The folks running Casa Jalisco, Carlos, Roberto and Juan were absolutely lovely and went out of their way to help me. I felt like I was staying in a friend's house. I loved to have the pool at hand and couldn't have done without the wi-fi. I traveled in the hottest time of year but my room was very comfortable with ac and local decorations (just say no, to anywhere-motel-6). For those who don't want to eat out every meal, there's a large supermarket/walmartish+ store within easy walking distance so I used my fridge and microwave and saved a lot of money. I definitely recommend this safe and friendly hotel.

Actual stay was Dec 2009 (not '10) but better late than never...
We found Casa Jalisco by accident online and it seemed to fit our needs - we avoid "resorts" and like to mingle with the locals so the location seemed fine. Arrived in town (by bus from Cabo) late in the evening and found a cabby who knew the way. He was even attentive enough to escort us to the door and make SURE we were looked after (for a very fair $10 fare +tip). Juan and the staff welcomed us and made sure everything was handled smoothly, even at the late hour. They even pointed out a local restaurant a couple of blocks away that was still open at 10 on a Sunday so we could get dinner.

Sadly, I came down with a bug (not related to the restaurant that I can determine) and was quite ill all night and into the next day. Juan got us down to the breakfast room and poured juice, made toast and acted like a true host, not just an innkeeper. We talked and shared life stories for a couple of hours and felt at home.

Stayed three nights and had a great time while recuperating. WALKED down to the Malecon (30 min.) - and got to see the 'normal' La Paz enroute. Took a cab back after dinner and never regretted a bit of it. All the time the staff were exceptional and attentive.

Would stay again without hesitation and except for those who need resort amenities, it's an excellent choice. The traffic noise comments are valid, but it was no worse than any other urban hotel and balanced by the rest of the ambiance.
One heck of a good deal and a pleasant visit.
