I have to be honest, my stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. While the rooms were small and located on the first floor with the parking lot right in front of my window, making it feel a bit exposed with people passing by, the check-in process was adequate even though some of the staff were a bit rude. The setup of the rooms with high booths that felt more like counters than tables was a bit odd, and the size of the bathroom and beds was disappointingly small. I wouldn't recommend booking here as it just doesn't seem worth it.

The rooms were quite small, located on the first floor with the parking lot right in front of my window, making me feel exposed. There were people passing by, and the blinds didn't provide enough privacy. The size of the beds and the overall setup left much to be desired.

The service was a bit of a hit and miss. Some staff members were nice and polite, making my stay pleasant, but others were not very friendly during my check-in. Despite this, I still appreciate the friendly and helpful service I received.

The location was great, being near the Tijuana Airport and close to the Otay Port of Entry. It felt safe and quiet, offering a calm and private environment. However, the immediate vicinity had some issues like broken beds and non-functional A/C units.

Dining

The dining experience was subpar. The food was not that great, with watered-down beans and a continental breakfast that left much to be desired. The quality of the food was disappointing, especially considering the price.

I have to say, my stay at this hotel was quite disappointing. The rooms were terribly small, dirty, and stinky; not worth the price at all. On the bright side, the service was friendly and they were actively trying to fix some issues. The location was convenient, near the airport, and there were various things to do around. The dining experience, however, was subpar. Overall, not the best choice for a stay.

My stay at the hotel was a bit of a mix. The rooms were small, located on the first floor with the parking lot right in front of my window, and I was bothered by people passing by. The blinds didn't go down completely, and the check-in process was rather unpleasant. On the positive side, the rates were affordable despite my reservation issue, and the property was available when needed.

Rooms

The rooms were not clean but available at an affordable rate despite the issues with my reservation. The location on the first floor facing the parking lot with people passing by and rude behavior during check-in was disappointing.

Service

The service was a bit of a mixed bag. While the staff was friendly overall, they only provided one towel per room even when requested for more. However, the room service was good, and the breakfast was pleasant.

The location of the hotel was the only positive highlight for me. It was great, near the Tijuana Airport and close to Otay Port of Entry. The private and calm atmosphere was a plus, especially being not far from the airport.

The dining experience was average. The food was okay with decent flavor, although a bit tiring and repetitive. Improvement could be made in keeping the dishes warm as they tended to get cold quickly.
