Whats up RDP,
I wanted to post about our stay at the Topock hotel last weekend. The girlfriend and I decided to do a last minute trip to Havasu but were only going to able to stay one night so we decided to try out the hotel at Topock. Saves us some drive time and gave us a chance to try out a new spot. We drove up Friday morning and launched out of Pirates around 1pm. We headed down river to the sandbar and hung out. Ended up meeting some very nice people, one of which had an RDP tank. We had been keeping an eye on the possible storm heading in and decided it would be a good idea to head back up, check in, and grab some grub.
We docked the boat and headed to the hotel thru the pool area. The ladies at the front desk were very personable and inviting. They got us checked in and our way. We decided to go check out the room, as we were curious what it was like. Right away we were super impressed, the room and bathroom were spacious and very clean. The layout was very well done with a great view and some items in the room paying homage to route 66. We were stoked to call that home for the night.
The clouds at this point were looking questionable so we headed back to pirates to put the boat on the trailer. Side note: if you’re looking a place to learn/teach someone to put a boat on a trailer, this is the place to do it. Great launch ramp, calm waters, and is usually pretty empty. We got the boat on the trailer and wiped down, then headed to the storage area to keep it at pirates for the night. I wanted to try it out and it was only 10 bucks, ended up being a solid option if you ever need to store your boat. We drove back to Topock, dropped our stuff in the room and headed down the restaurant. Again, the waitresses/staff were very courteous and personable. We sat out in the butt chairs to enjoy our food and drinks (which were great as always) and the view. About halfway thru eating the winds picked up so we moved into the restaurant to finish up. It started raining as we made our way back to the room so we decided to hang out on the balcony and watch the storm.
Woke up the next morning, weather was beautiful, headed down to restaurant and grabbed some breakfast, (again, food/service was great). We then checked out of the room, headed back to pirates, hooked up, launched again and enjoyed all the Eliminators hauling the mail up and down the river.
All in all it was a great experience and a very cool way to experience the river. We decided we would definitely stay there again and look forward to our next trip.

believe the draft on our boat is 2’8” or so. That’s listed but that’s a bravo boat. Lot more weight in the back of our boat dropping it down a bit more.
