- Leo (8/5): - Great price
- Beth (10/5): - This hotel is wonderful. The staff is friendly, rooms are clean and big. Brought my daughter and i felt very safe. The only issue was there was road construction totally out of the hotels control that was very noisy. But stopped aroung 10pm.
- Amanda (10/5): Needs new matresses - The mattress should be replaced. It had a big indent. Way passed due.
- Joshua (10/5): - Surprisingly wonderful hotel a few km. from downtown TJ.
Quiet, spacious and comfortable bed/room.
Strong wifi and pleasant staff.
Plenty of supermarkets and restaurants very closeby!
- Travis (10/5): Great Place to Crash - Super comfortable beds, has A/C, and good wifi. Hot water with pretty good water pressure. All around good place to crash.
- Edgar (8/5): - .
- ZULMA I (2/5): - No es un Hotel; literal es un Motel de paso la verdad hasta asco te da acostarte.
Sali por la mañana muy temprano y avise que regresaria porque iba a dejar mis pertenencias cuando regrese todas mis cosas las habian sacado de mi habitación sin mi consentimiento aun cuando yo avise y todavia faltaba una hora para hacer el check out muy mala experiencia

- pedro (10/5): - Todo bien
- Verified traveler (2/5): DIRTY COVERS! - It was TERRIBLE! I don’t think they change the sheets because I KNOW they don’t change the covers, they just switch sides AND flip them over.
- Roberto (8/5): - Good taco spot right next to property, transportation around there limited and if you call a taxi expensive, and be careful for crooked cops but the place is decent as soon. As I walked in to the room smell of fabuloso so which was a good sign. Definitely use Expedia prices are different if you just show up. Receptionist was very nice helpful and informative.
- Maria (10/5): - Nice hotel
- Leo (8/5): - Affordable when booking online
- Yasin (2/5): - Even though it is cheaper but still bot worthy zero access to anything no room service no phone no WiFi no transportation. Am sure you'll regret it that's what happened to me I couldn't even finish my days.
- Daniel (8/5): - This is a decent hotel. The room is spacious and clean. I felt very safe at the hotel even with my car. The only thing I would add for the management is to have a policy where they ask customers to give them feedback right away while the customers are still there.
There are differences in business practices between different countries & cultures. The only part that I wasn't a fan of was at the battery powered smoke detectors were all beeping constantly throughout the night. Which means the batteries were low.
If they had been more responsive they could have replaced the batteries so we weren’t hearing them beep all throughout the night. Besides that everything else was fine.
- maurice (2/5): Not what you would spect of a hotel, Bad ! - Bad customer service, fire alarms all over the building kept on beeping all day and night needing battery replacement, no-one did anything and was not able to sleep with the noice.
- Pavel (2/5): - Nothing good i can write about this hotel maybe just a couple of things. PROs there are spacey rooms there and it’s not bad location. CONs the room was dirty, looks like they were not vacuum rooms at all. hair was everywhere even on the wall in bathroom (and someone’s feces covered the wall behind the toilet like in a public restroom). Terrible stench in the room is similar to some kind of mixture of cigarette smoke and urine. AC didn’t work properly just as a fan. That’s why they put an extra fan in the room in addition to the celling fan that works only at low speed. The fan in the bathroom was too noisy better do not turn it on. The electric switch should be touched very carefully because it staggers, it barely stays in the wall and is clearly not the size of the hole for it. In addition, there are a lot of cobwebs on the windows and in the corners, and several small spiders are seen right on the bed. last thing is the internet connection was very slow about 1mb/s very unstable definitely not for video almost zero. so guys this is a shabby lousy hotel try to find a better place to stay.
- Lisa (4/5): - Asked when I arrived if I was booking for the night or hourly…
Didn’t shower as the bathroom did not look clean. Lots of other people’s hair around the sink and floor.
I think there was a recent remodel, but done in that slum-lord rental fashion.
I double checked the mattress and no bed bugs, sheets smelled and looked clean so I did sleep, just not well.
It was $30, and I guess I got what I paid for.
- Jaime (10/5): - Always convenient place
Great place to eat outside.
- Kristina (8/5): - Felt very safe!
- Jorge (8/5): - We enjoyed our stay they do the best they can with what they have.I would stay here again.
- Aneisha (8/5): - The staff was very friendly and accommodating
- Jaime (10/5): Nice place - Great room. Views are amazing. Location is excellent and it’s always a plus to have the car parked inside for security.
- ARACELI (2/5): - First off, every time you’re going to leave your room you have to leave your key at the front desk which made me feel a bit uncomfortable because I had my personal belongings in the room. Secondly, there were no amenities or anything in the room such as a microwave, refrigerator, and I asked if they had an iron and they did not have one. Their Wi-Fi connection sucks And so does the reception there. The room was extremely dirty, there was old vomit stains on the floor. The dresser was falling apart and the lighting was so dark I wasn’t able to get ready in the morning. The shower was horrible… There was hardly any water that would come out And made it extremely difficult for me to shower. And don’t let me get into the customer service that I received because I can go on and on and on but these are the most important reasons why I would never stay at this hotel ever again.
- Christian (4/5): - I got placed in a room next to their washers and driers. So yes there was loud machine banging all the time. Also got the worst room they could have given me. Tv was broken with no windows for the fresh air to go in and the AC unit was broken too.
- ramon (10/5): - Nice staff hotel very decent
- Rosalinda (4/5): - The room was leaking water the carpet was all wet it and it smelled like somebody had already smoked in there
- ANGELICA (6/5): - The parking was indoors and made me feel safe.
- arturo (2/5): - reserved online they charge more at the window , arrived at midnight the room was not ready'. the lady at the window and the guy responsable to give you a parking spot had attitude, getting in a room the trash from others still there. we used the restroom and get clogged at 1:00 in the morning . was a terrible nightmare so we just stay for 7 hrs.NOT RECOMENDED.
- Kimberly (2/5): - The staff didnt have my room ready didnt even have my reservation on file and then the rooms dont even look the same as the pictures 😤
- Vincent (6/5): - I liked the view and the tacos across the street. I disliked the first room they gave me was dirty but had a great view and looked nice. They instead gave me an old room that had stains on the walls and an old carpet.
- Salvador (10/5): - There was someone there 24 hours to assist. The property was safe. The room was clean.
- IZABELLA (10/5): - Beautiful cozy and accommodating!
- IZABELLA (10/5): - excellent
- Trevor D (10/5): - great staff parking on site..great overall
- cesar (10/5): Great for the price - So relaxing
- Francisco (4/5): - Everything old
- Jacquelyn (2/5): - This property was filthy we ended up with rashes on our skin the towels were so dirty that we ended up having to buy our own to bring in use we slept on top of the stain sheets and then they wouldn't let us leave the hotel until we paid them extra money because we got Cheetos and cookies on the sheets and they said they were stained when they were already stained and filthy they literally held us captive until we paid them more money
- Verified traveler (2/5): - Not a nice hotel presentation I called to confirm my reservation and the day I arrived to the property they cancelled it without previous notice
- Verified traveler (2/5): - Nothing
- Verified traveler (2/5): - This is an hourly hotel for prostitution not a family hotel it’s very run down nothing like the pictures I didn’t stay and lost my money didn’t get a refun
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Great for a mini getaway and with city/ocean view
- Christian (10/5): Great stay! - I was very hospitable, the rooms are very spacious, but it did get cold in the night, I brought an extra heater and requested theirs but it was still cold. I like the covered parking, and the enclosed area I felt very safe, recommend highly
- Steph (2/5): - The bathroom toilet wouldn't flush. The rooms were not in a healthy maintenance. Staff didn't know my room was already booked. Lighting from the room were not all working. Walls chipped off color. And expedia notes it as a hotel and in reality its a motel.
- Al (8/5): - No heater.
- Mario (8/5): My stay - It was ok
- Thomas (8/5): Good prices for basic hotel - Can't beat the prices. All employees are nice and accommodating. Rooms vary, some have working A/C and heat, most don't . Can safely park car in gated lot.
Basically get what you pay for
- Marielove68 (6/5): - It was a dive . The TV barely worked . Super cold . Rented out by increments of 4 hours. Ewww. Not the kind of motel I’m interested in staying in .
- Verified traveler (4/5): - Everything was ok for the price that was paid but when I book I thought was hotel and the location was Motel and every time we got out they ask us to leave the key even though we leave deposit also they did not clean your room unless you ask for it.
- Gabby (10/5): - The customer service was great. Helped us around and made sure everything was more than okay
- Maria (4/5): - The nouse of the people taking at 11 p.m. and 2:00 a.m. next to our door. And, using their walkingtalk, terrible. I could hearcwhat they said.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Reasonable price for last minute stay. The hotel was ok not bad for the price either .
- Verified traveler (6/5): - Close to my party 🎉 and safe for my neighborhood ..
- Manuel (8/5): Ok for a night. - The room was big. Ac worked ok. The building is outdated, but most things worked ok. The shower leaked all night. There is no people at the office past 10 pm, do no one to contact about the leak. The people were short and unhelpful. I spoke to them also in Spanish, thinking that they might not speak English, but they didn't change their attitude. Ok for the night.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - The workers were friendly but did not speak any english (except for one person who was not around all the time). We had booked a room with air conditioner, but was placed in a room with only a fan. Once I brought it to their attention they quickly changed it to an air conditioner room for us. The property is old but is being Renovated. The room floors look dirty, but it's just because the room is old. The shower dripped all night but we enjoyed the hot water. The wifi was Awlful. Literally good for nothing. We stayed 2 nights 3 days and didn't get maid service. Location is kind of out of town and no taxi knew how to get there off hand. If you are going into tijuana central then you are better of staying around there. It cost about 100 pesos to go into town and it's hard to get a taxi in that area. If you have a car then this would be a great chesp place to stay. The room was nice and quiet, but the bed was old and springy, also there is no elevator. The receptionist also had little knowledge of expedia. Over all we had a nice stay. The place was quiet and peaceful. The room was decent and the water was hot.
- Jocelyn (2/5): Bad service - Really bad service and hotel condition!!!
- Verified traveler (8/5): - its an old building so don't expect much. But, bed and room were clean. If you're looking for an inexpensive place to stay this is good.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Nostalgic stlye, carpets need shampoo. Bathrooms needs fan ventilation. Great options for tv.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - For the affordable price, it is overall comfortable, clean, and feels safe. One day in the past did not have any water, but it seemed to be factors out of their control (maintenance work in the city) and it was running again within 2 hours.
I did have a strange incident where an Asian man was knocking at my door and the hotel security/reception let them into the hotel area thinking they were my guest (he was NOT), so I advise them next time to actually CONFIRM with me first before letting random strangers within the hotel area. I didn't appreciate that this happened before 7am as well as I was sleeping at the time.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Very large rooms. Clean but outdated. Staff wS very friendly.
- Rodrigo (6/5): - I didn’t like the fact that they don’t clean the rooms unless you tell them. I believe rooms have to be cleaned one way or another. Sometimes the carpet smells like feet. It’s a smell that comes to you the minute you enter the room. Overall my stay was Ok
- Verified traveler (6/5): - Shower and bed was great for a $20 hotel, location was good as well.
- HERMAN (10/5): - I LIKE IT BECAUSE ITS NEAR THE BEACH Y ESTA CERCA DE LA CARRETERA ESCENICA
- Verified traveler (6/5): - Secluded, close to eats. Price to stay very reasonable.
- Verified traveler (4/5): - The property was broke down and in desperate need of repair. They put us on the 4th floor what no elevators when there were rooms on the first floor that were open there were pigeons inside the ceiling keeping us up all hours of the day and night the heater did not work the hair dryer did not work the shower door was broken
- Lucia (10/5): Would tell my friends about this place I give it t - Our time there was great everything was good and the staff was great
- Elena (10/5): Awesome - Amazing place with bright spacious rooms.
- Christina (4/5): - There was no hot water, lights went out.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Very nice place with spasious stylish rooms and amazing view for an affordable price.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Nice stylish hotel with great view and walking distance to many shops and restaurants for rather affordable price.
- Jaime (2/5): Very hard to locate - Horrible directions. The streets arent marked . Never found the place and I never even got a courtesy call. Traffic around area was very confusing , lots of dead end and one way steets.
- Eric (8/5): A great stay - Everything was as I expected, great
- Verified traveler (4/5): - I really liked the time& patience the first attendant gave us in gettong us a ashtray & heater&his hospitality but upon getting the jacuzzi room the last night i feel the owners or whomever was in the office at the time of my change of rooms was a liar & somewhat disrespectful .I eas told i burned a hole in one of the sheets & she wanted 200 pesos for it so. I agreed & asked for the sheet i suppose to have burned & when i inspected there were no hole in it at alll . inspected the jacuzzi room i found lots of mold in. & around the jacuzzi. Almost none of
- Verified traveler (6/5): - Great place to stay and ship, think about it the fun is out of city
- Ralph (4/5): - This place is a love Palace for SEX I will not ever go back
- Rodrigo (6/5): NO good condition - is terrible the room smell like drain and the A/c was dripping inside the carpet all night plus the tile inside the restroom was broken , it use to be a motel and now hotel but they leave everything the same , the towels are thin and hard and seems old ,shampoo it comes in a dispenser , the doors doesn't lock really good , they don't have enough outlet to plug in your devices , don't choose room 202 .
- Rosalba (8/5): - Nice hotel, thank you for your service , I will book again
- R (4/5): - Wifi never worked. Too much noise from the cleaning staff
- jonesboroboy2000 (8/5): Great Tray Abraham is a great resource - Stayed three weeks with my husband..... it was great. Our vehicle was ALWAYS safe and there was 24 hour staff.... they even did our laundry for a couple of bucks ...... we stay whenever we go to tj..... which is pretty often .... only down side (if there is one) is that the rooms are so large that they were kind of cold but they gave us a heater no problem
- Verified traveler (10/5): - For the value motel was fine. Staff was helpfull. No A/C No elevator.
- jonbI6345OM (6/5): The hotel is decent but the carpet in the room was dirty. - When I arrived on August 18th the room was clean and orderly. There were only two problems with the "third-floor walk-up" room. The hair dryer didn't function and when I got out of the shower and stepped on the carpet, the bottom of my feet became dark and tacky. Other than that, the room was not too bad. The building must have been built during the 1950's and the bathroom fixtures reflect this. There was a small cigarette burn in the bed cover but the linen was clean. I paid $33 per day for two nights and it was sufficiently comfortable for the price paid.
The place wasn't horrible but it wasn't the best. If I return to Tijuana and am planning to attend the bullfights at the Plaza De Toros Monumental, I may stay here. If I find myself going to Revolution Avenue, I may stay at a Hotel that is closer to the Tourist District.
- J (10/5): - As always. White convenient and safe.
- boltsfan75 (2/5): Never again - When we arrived there was no rooms available and we already made reservations. Then finally they put us on the third floor after someone just checked out. There was no air conditioning, the room smelled, the floor was gross, and the bathroom had hairs all over. We slept for a couple hours after Lysoling everything then left. Luckily Hotels. Com refunded our money.
- Alexander (8/5): Enjoyable stay. - The stay was pleasant. The only problem is the strong smell of cigarette. Other than that for the price it was comfortable.
- jimmy (8/5): Best Tacos ever on coener - Good place to spend the night. Feels real safe always and the taco place on the side is one of the best ones I’ve ever been
- Victor (6/5): Looking for a place to rest for the price it was g - This is the place to go if you just need á place to rest. It's cheap, Very hidden, had to Google my way to it. Tv works good, it was quiet, No ocean view just other little huts rooftops. Am satisfied for what i paid
