I had a great stay. The hotel was nice, clean, and exactly what I needed. The location was perfect, especially being so close to Avenida Revolución and within walking distance of everything. It made it easy to get around, enjoy Tijuana, and have a good time. I really enjoyed my stay and would definitely stay here again.

The only negative thing are the only thing that was frustrating was when you would call the Hotel they couldn’t transfer you to the room you had to leave a message or they would be nice enough to go to the room and notify the guest. The bar was great the breakfast was good easy access.

Everything about this hotel is excellent, the only thing that I think needs something extra is that the sink is too small and no chest in the room, other than that excellent personal and excellent location. A bit away from noice in night clubs which is good and right in front of caliente casino. Very very safe to walk late at night and lots of good music and good vives.
