Hotel La Fuente

Nice people. Clean rooms. I stumbled in here late at night after a harrowing but not too serious auto accident. The guys were so kind and took great care of me!

Great affordable hotel in Janos. We were bikepacking through and in need of a safe place for the night and hotel La Fuente was just that.

Not worth the stop. Really gross and terrible customer service... Do not recommend

I was in the fourth day of my ambitious 2-month bicycle odyssey, pedaling West from El Paso/Cd. Juarez to Tijuana/West Coast on Ruta Dos, which is incredibly challenging as it has no shoulder/potholes/ crumbling asphalt. However, ALL of the (motor) vehicle operators were 100% cautious, always careful when passing me, including the 18- & 34-wheelers. I feel safer bicycling in Mexico than in the USA! Anyway, I entered Janos 13JUN2017 with great relief to finally get this far; I was ecstatic to see this fine hotel open and ready for guests (me/my Doublevision), especially since it also had air conditioning. I did have to move the furniture a wee bit to get my Doublevision inside, but I was absolutely secure & comfortable in this budget hotel. The most important aspect was being cool inside--it was Summer and rather warm outside. Another aspect was that I could go across the street to Del Rio, a convenience store which took my VISA charge card and bought much needed nutritional items, essential to keep my body going whilst pedaling throughout the day. I also stocked up on travel foods, anticipating long distances of nothing before arriving at the next sizable community, Agua Prieta, Sonora, including more bottled water. It was during the restful night that I realized that my age & sarcopenia was keeping me from cycling very fast, exacerbated by my usual 3-5 hour afternoon break in shade or a/c to avoid high mid-day heat. I altered my route (again) from thinking I'd pedal to Casa Grande on Ruta Diez, instead continuing West on Ruta Dos. I had used up the last of my pesos and needed to acquire more; there is an ATM about a half-mile away, which was kind of tucked out of the way beside the local police and I was able to find with assistance from the very friendly locals. I maxed out the amount I could get on my VISA debit card, thinking I'd need as much as possible over the next month to Tijuana/West Coast. To some travelers, this might rate 1 or 2 stars because there was no pool/hot tub/sauna, but it was absolutely fantastic for me! FIVE STARS and my hearty "WHEEL OF APPROVAL!" This community is great, and I look forward to returning, though not necessarily by Doublevision!
