Container house?

Have heard that there is one somewhere Lakeside...maybe behind Mirasol, but can't find it. Does anyone know anything about one in this area? Directions/contact? TIA

Its called Hotel del Pescador. It is in west Ajijic on the caraterra lakeside just past La Reserva.

This one is on Airbnb - https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/22499145?source_impression_id=p3_1567627537_zB5DHhQykdmtguE5

I recall seeing some 'in progress' pics but .....

I've seen lots of construction offices built from old containers. Usually they are framed on the inside with aluminum or wooden studs then paneled with gyproc. The hollow walls are insulated and have space to run your electrical and plumbing just like houses are built NOB.

As a side note used containers are very expensive here compared to a "port" city. They want $3000.00 to $4000.00 USD for a 20 footer and $6000.00 plus for the 40 footers. I could buy them in Vancouver for $1000.00 CAD and $2500.00 CAD. I looked at them at a few places in Guadalajara that sell them for some other idea I was working on.

Thx all. Yes I am very familiar with the container restaurant as we like to eat there.
I will check out the hotel. We have friends that bought a stainless steel container in Australia when they moved back to Hawaii and planed on using it as a tiny home. Can't wait to see it!

Cool. Post pics when you do see it.
