Escape to Paradise: Unforgettable Stay at Best Western Plus San Jorge, Ciudad Obregón!
Alright, buckle up buttercups, because we're about to dive headfirst into my rollercoaster experience at the Best Western Plus San Jorge in Ciudad Obregón. Forget the perfect, polished travel brochure spiel. This is the real deal, the good, the bad, and the "whoa, did that just happen?" of my stay. And spoiler alert: It was an escape alright. To paradise? Well, let's see…
First Impressions & Accessibility: Smooth Sailing… Mostly
Right off the bat, the accessibility seemed pretty darn good. The elevator! Okay, that's a win, especially for my dodgy knee. The lobby was spacious, and the staff were genuinely helpful. I mean, genuinely. Not that fake, forced smile, but the "how can I make your life easier?" kind. (And hey, a 24-hour front desk is a godsend when you're running on a wonky sleep schedule, which, let's be honest, is me 90% of the time.)
Now, I'm not super wheelchair-dependent, but I appreciate thoughtful touches, and the facilities for disabled guests seemed well-considered. Wide hallways, accessible rooms, the works. Makes a world of difference.
Internet… Oh, Internet!
Okay, let's talk internet. Free Wi-Fi in all rooms! YES! Gotta have it. And it actually worked, unlike some places where you're battling a dial-up modem from the 90s. I needed to catch up on some work, so the Internet access – LAN also provided some peace of mind. The Wi-Fi in public areas was stable too, which was handy for Zoom calls in the lobby (a bit awkward, but hey, gotta hustle!).
Safety First (But Let's Be Real, Also Comfort):
I'm a bit of a germaphobe, so I was glued to the Cleanliness and safety section of the website. They seemed to be taking things seriously. They checked a lot of boxes: Anti-viral cleaning products, Daily disinfection in common areas, Hand sanitizer everywhere, even in my room. They also had individually-wrapped food options, which made me feel loads better. Bonus points for the room sanitization opt-out available. I mean, they are already cleaning it daily!
The Room: My Little Oasis?
Okay, the room! Air conditioning? Check. Blackout curtains? Double check. (Sleep is sacred.) My room was clean with good light and Air conditioning. I really like the Hair dryer- it’s my “can’t live without it” item. There's nothing like the added convenience of a Coffee/tea maker!
I appreciated the thoughtful touches: Extra long bed? YES! Free bottled water? Always a win. The safe box… well, I thought I used it. Did I? I can't remember! Daily housekeeping was efficient and, thankfully, unobtrusive. The non-smoking room was a huge plus, and the soundproofing was a sanity-saver late at night!
Things to Do (or Not) - Time to Chill Out!
Alright, here’s where it got interesting. I'm not one for the super spa life (too high maintenance, frankly), but I did take a peek at the Pool with view. Gorgeous. Seriously, the pictures don't do it justice. The swimming pool [outdoor] was inviting. I'm not ashamed to say I sat there, basking in the sun and feeling like a lizard.
The Fitness center was, well, a fitness center. Standard gym fare. I bravely avoided it.
Food, Glorious Food (Mostly!)
The Breakfast [buffet] was a decent spread, lots of choices, including the Asian breakfast. But let me tell you about the Coffee shop! This was one of the highlights of my stay! I'm a total coffee snob, and the coffee was not only good, but also served with such warmth. I had Breakfast takeaway service a couple of times- It was an absolute dream!
The restaurants were good and offered the standard International cuisine in restaurant selection. I was looking forward to an A la carte in restaurant breakfast and the Happy hour, but my schedule didn't permit it. One evening, I stumbled upon the Poolside bar. And the Desserts in restaurant? Oh, dear god, the desserts. Absolute decadence. I may or may not have had more than one… The Snack bar was great too.
Services and Conveniences: The Extras That Make a Difference
The Concierge was super helpful with directions and recommendations which was a great perk. Having access to Currency exchange on-site saved me a headache, too! Having the Laundry service was a godsend. I'm a messy traveler, so I was thankful for the service.
The Imperfect Bits (Because Nothing's Ever Perfect)
Okay, here's the confession: One day, I tripped over… something. (Don't ask.) No major injuries (thank heavens!), but I did have a moment where I needed the First aid kit. Thankfully, the Doctor/nurse on call were not required.
Overall Vibe:
The Best Western Plus San Jorge is a solid choice. It's not the flashiest hotel, but it's comfortable, clean, and the staff genuinely care. It's a good base for exploring Ciudad Obregón!
The Quirky Anecdote:
I’m not sure where this fits into my review but I’m going to include it, nonetheless. I wandered into a Shrine one night. It was beautiful. It was quiet. It was…unexpected. It was a moment of serenity I didn’t know I needed.
My Verdict: Should You Book?
Absolutely. If you're looking for a comfortable, well-located hotel with great amenities and a genuinely friendly staff, the Best Western Plus San Jorge is a winner. It's not perfect, but it's real. And sometimes, real is exactly what you need.

Laramie's Hidden Gem: Super 8 Wyndham Review (You Won't Believe This!)
Alright, buckle up buttercups, because we're about to dive headfirst into my glorious/slightly disastrous trip to Ciudad Obregon, Mexico, specifically holed up in the Best Western Plus San Jorge. And let me tell you, it was a vibe.
Day 1: Arrival & Mild Panic
Time: 1 PM - Arrive at Obregon Airport. (Okay, so I totally forgot to book a shuttle. Face palm.)
Transportation: Taxi – negotiated down to a slightly less insane price after some frantic hand gestures. Pretty sure he was judging my Spanish.
Destination: Best Western Plus San Jorge.
Activities:
- Check-in. The lobby was…well, "functional" is the polite word. Felt a bit like a very clean hospital waiting room.
- Room Exploration: Okay, the room. It was fine. Clean-ish. The air conditioning was a godsend. Considering how much sweating I had to do upon arrival, the air conditioning was immediately a priority. I noticed that one of the TV's remotes didn't work, which meant I had to use the one that did.
- Emotional Reaction: Mild terror at being so far from my comfortable bed. A wave of homesickness, immediately followed by the realization that I was in Mexico! Adventure, baby! (Followed by a desperate search for the Wi-Fi password. Priorities, people.)
Time: 3 PM – Attempt to venture out.
- Activities: wandered around the hotel, feeling like a slightly bewildered tourist.
- Observation: The hotel pool was… well, it existed. Looked vaguely inviting, but also like it might contain prehistoric creatures.
- Emotional Reaction: Hunger pangs hit. HARD.
- Activities: wandered around the hotel, feeling like a slightly bewildered tourist.
Time: 4 PM - Food Quest. The hotel restaurant.
- Activities: Decided to be brave and eat at the hotel restaurant. Ordered a quesadilla, praying for the best.
- Anecdote: Here's where things got interesting. My Spanish is…shall we say, emerging. I attempted to order, and the server, bless his heart, looked like he was trying not to laugh. I swear I butchered the word "quesadilla" so badly, it sounded like I was summoning a demon. The quesadilla eventually arrived, and it was… perfectly adequate. Not the best, not the worst.
- Emotional Reaction: Relief washed over me. I hadn't poisoned myself! Small victories.
- Activities: Decided to be brave and eat at the hotel restaurant. Ordered a quesadilla, praying for the best.
Time: 6 PM - Evening Plan.
- Activities: Researched local spots on those pesky googlemaps
- Emotional Reaction: Excited for the adventure, but also nervous
Day 2: Culture Shock and the Pursuit of Tacos
Time: 9 AM - Breakfast.
- Activities: The hotel breakfast buffet. Standard fare: eggs, tortillas, some weird meat I couldn't identify.
- Observation: Coffee was strong. Very strong. This is important for the following events…

- Activities: The hotel breakfast buffet. Standard fare: eggs, tortillas, some weird meat I couldn't identify.
Time: 10 AM - The Market.

- Activities:
- Wandering through the chaotic, vibrant, utterly overwhelming market.
- Rambles: The sights! The sounds! The smells! Chilies drying, vendors yelling, people jostling… It was glorious and terrifying all at once. I felt like I was in a movie. I bought nothing. I was too scared to touch.
- Emotional Reaction: Sensory overload! Panic began to set in.
Time: 12 PM - Tacos! (The Salvation)
- Destination: Some random taqueria I found through the market.
- Activities:
- Oh, the tacos. These are what I came for. Al pastor, carnitas, the works. So delicious I almost cried.
- Anecdote: Okay, so I did cry, a little. Not because of sadness, but because the salsa was so spicy! My eyes started watering, I was sniffling, and the little old lady next to me started patting my hand and offering me water. It was the most genuine, beautiful moment.
- Emotional Reaction: Total bliss. All the market stress washed away.
Time: 2 PM - Mid-Afternoon Activities. * Activities: I walked around. I took some pictures. I tried to speak Spanish, but mostly just ended up making hand gestures. * Observation: I tried to take photos. I was quickly overwhelmed and put them back.
- Emotional Reaction: Exhaustion.
Time: 4 PM - The Hotel, again.
- Activities:
- Back to the Best Western. Rest. Needed the rest.
- Anecdote: I went back to the hotel. There was too much to take in. I thought back on the day and decided to buy some coffee and try to get some rest.
- Emotional Reaction: Slightly sad.
- Activities:
Day 3: The Pool (And Some Reflection)
Time: 10 AM - Pool Time!
- Activities: Braved the hotel pool. It was clean! I swam. I actually managed to relax.

Final Thoughts:
- The Best Western Plus San Jorge was… perfectly fine. A solid base camp for an adventure.
- Ciudad Obregon? A whirlwind of sensory overload, delicious tacos, and genuine kindness. I'd go back. Maybe I would be more prepared. Maybe I'd learn some Spanish. Definitely, I'd pack more sunscreen. And I'd for sure skip the hotel's beer selection. Viva Mexico!

So, Best Western Plus San Jorge... is it *really* Paradise? Or just, you know, a hotel?
The pool... what's the deal with the pool? I'm picturing crystal-clear water and… well, not a swamp.
What about the food? I hear Mexican food is… amazing. Does the hotel live up to the hype?
The rooms! Were they, you know, clean? Because I'm a germaphobe. (Okay, maybe not, but I do like a tidy hotel room.)
What about the staff? Friendly? Helpful? Or do they just ignore you?
Okay, so, overall… would you recommend it? Spill the beans!
Tell me something specific about the *vibe*… what was it *like* there?
