Simple, clean rooms, friendly staff, great location to explore La Plaza de San Jose (especially on Thursday nights Art Walk). The on-site restaurant serves breakfast from 07:30 am to 13:30 pm.
A great place if you are looking for a clean room to sleep and explore the area. An easy walk to the bus stop “Ruta del Desierto,” which takes you to the airport and Los Cabos San Lucas (approximately 30 minutes, $45 pesos). You can take a leisurely walk to the beach (a 15-minute walk) and watch the sunrise.
The posada taranova, it's a very original authentic older hotel and has a very good restaurant in it. And the staff are very kindly, and it's especially close to the Central area. So we do recommend it
Excellent location in downtown san jose del cabo. Walkable to the plaza and lots of restaurants. The staff was very accommodating in terms of requests despite language barrier.
I was extremely with the Hotel Posada. Super clean, definitely Mexican in style, friendly staff especially the lady receptionist. The bed was really comfortable and the pillows so good that I wanted to buy one. I hope the Costco back here in Calgary has the same ones.

Friendly folks in thr restaurant, excellent breakfast menu, easy check in. Super close to plaza Mijares.
I didn’t realize how basic this hotel would be from the reviews. All rooms need to be significantly updated.

The hotel was in a good location so we could walk to shopping and the art walk. The rooms were clean and they offered a good breakfast menu. Staff were very friendly and the rooms had air conditioning. The rooms are very basic.
Good hotel with comfy beds. Lots of noises from dogs barking at night.

Ok for basic/cheap place to sleep
The hotel is very basic. That's ok though. It's already very cheap. The room is very.... Crude as far as construction and materials. The bed was very comfortable though. Also the breakfast was good.
Location was perfect, food was great at the restaurant inside and staff were very nice. Room was a little outdated but clean. The only complaint I have is the bed. The bed is not comfortable at all!
It is a nice little hotel conveniently located. Short walk to shops & restaurants. The area is rather noisy all night long. I love dogs, but the neighbor's dog barking every 45 min. right outside our window all night was a bit much! lol. Considering it was a one night stay till our flight the next day. I’d consider staying there again. Keep your expeditions realistic considering the area.
The hotel is right on the border of the tourist area. So we were able to have the best from the both worlds: breakfast and lunch from the public market and coffee, dinner and drinks from the art and tourist district. 35 minutes of a plesand walk to the beach (it was January, it can be hot in other seasons).
Breakfast and lunch at the hotel were OK if you like that sort of food. It was quite busy on Sunday because the place is popular with locals.
Hotel has its charm: built in traditional style with tile, stucco and dark wood. Somewhat crumbled bathroom. Shower head certainly in need of upgrade.
Next to the public market there is a laundry and we were able to wash our clothes just for 100 pesos for a bag.
Hotel personal was helpful. They called taxi to take us to the airport and helped with our luggage.

AC not work with the remote. I reported to front desk clerk who spoke no English, and maybe not much spanish. Never did get it to work. So luckily it was not too hot with just setting the fan. Desk clerk only understood "No" and cared less if we got any help. Other personnel at the hotel were very helpful (cleaning ladies, restaurant staff).

Location Good, the Rest Very Average
It’s a good location, the outdoor patio is usually very quiet, but if you can avoid it, don’t get Rooms 10 or 12. Both are next to the hotel laundry which goes virtually 24/7 and is really noisy.
Breakfast is not included and for what it is, expensive. Also no ice available. Be prepared for a wait at checking in, the internet is slow and the two who checked us in looked and acted like they’d rather be somewhere else.
Our room needed a serious upgrade. Light bulbs that actually shed light might be a start.
I know it’s San Jose and touristy, but for no amenities it’s overpriced. You’re paying for a central location.

The location of the property is excellent if you’re looking to be close to the main square - about a five minute walk. It was a 20 minute walk to Walmart and just over 10 minutes to walk to the bus stop to get to Cabo San Lucas. It was VERY convenient!
The outdoor restaurant inside the hotel offered excellent service and a beautiful setting. I had breakfast there most days and loved sitting in the outdoor area after it closed in the evening.
The area around the hotel was very safe and quiet overnight. The staff were also quite helpful. I had to switch rooms though because I couldn’t get wifi in my first room. The second room had strong wifi but it was right beside another building which meant no natural light. There were a couple of issues though - the cold water shower faucet handle fell off, and the smoke detector started beeping in the middle of the night because it needed replacing. Initially the security guard wasn’t going to help me with the smoke detector but I begged him - it was 4am and I needed sleep.
The rooms were very basic but the bed and pillows were comfortable, and there was warm water.

Hotel Posada Terranova is an excellent budget option. The location is perfect! Just steps from the centre of the art district and some seriously fabulous restaurants and culture.
This property is fairly quiet considering how close it is to the art district. Even on Thursday nights when the streets fill with people for the art walk, it was relatively quiet. Yes, there are a few neighborhood dogs that occasionally bark, and sometimes you can hear people out in the hallway or guests slamming doors (room doors and doorframes are wood so they close loudly) but I found it quieter than expected and slept well.
The beds are advertised as queen size, but they're doubles. They're quite short so our feet hung off the edge. Mattresses are quite worn and no longer very firm, but the pillows are really nice.
Rooms aren't fancy, but they're clean! Room and hallways always smelled fresh. Sheets changed daily. A/C was tough to figure out, but it did keep the room very cool!
No fan or window in the bathroom. Shower pressure was good and there was usually hot water.
The hotel restaurant has some great Mexican breakfast options. We ate there a couple times and enjoyed everything we ordered. Staff is very kind. I don't think many of them speak English and my Spanish is terrible so it was a bit challenging to communicate, but they were patient with me and we made it work!
Overall I'm very happy with our stay. Facilities are outdated, but they're clean, and the location is hard to beat!
