I called directly found out about the room availability. I’m easy to please so the room was perfect for what we needed it for. My cousin missed a flight at the airport, but I think that there could be some improvements so I mentioned it to the staff, and they were very pleased that I brought it up. This is a great value for the quality of hotel and there really isn’t very many to choose from in this area.
The rooms were a bit small but they were nice and clean, the price of the hotel is half the price of hotels in the U.S. The hotel is right across the street from the boardwalk and just a few steps to the beach. The customer service of the staff, from the concierge to the waiters to the maids was excellent. The food at the restaurant was excellent and very reasonably priced. Highly recommend this hotel for medical tourists.
Clean rooms, nice place to stay right by the ocean, great breakfast
We were hesitant to stay here based on a few time mixed reviews and not having been in Tijuana for over 20 years. The first time we went to a family reunion with family and 3 kids under 10 everyone was pleased with their stay and the location, hotel is within walking distance of beach, shopping, coffee shops, breakfast, lunch & dinner spots. A year later we returned and both times our experience was good. There is covered parking we parked once inside and the other on the street. No complaints everyone felt safe rooms were clean
Housekeeping at this hotel is incredibly attentive and professional, and I want to give special recognition to Marichuy—she is absolutely amazing! Marichuy was exceptionally kind, welcoming, and accommodating throughout my stay. She went out of her way to work around my schedule, ensuring that my room was spotless without ever disrupting my day. Her professionalism and warm demeanor truly made me feel at home. The quality of service she provided was outstanding and deeply appreciated. On top of that, the view from my room was beautiful, and my overall stay was wonderful. I couldn’t be happier with the experience!
Enjoyed an affordable great meal at the restaurant. Unfortunately no great view of the beach. The rest of the hotel seems to be very classy, many well dressed people to assist for any need. This is the highest star rated hotel in playas. Beach across the street, bull ring just behind it. Under ground secure parking, fenced parking for larger vehicles. Security guard in front of the hotel. You will be secure and well taken care of.
I like this hotel especially cuz it's so close to the border.
This is a great choice for the price. It was just steps away from the beautiful ocean. The staff were all friendly, check-in was quick and easy, the rooms were clean, and the food in the restaurant was good. People complaining about the noise must be unfamiliar with Mexico and Mexicans in general. Stay in your regulated HOA suburb if you can't handle it.
A 3-minute walk from Tijuana Beach on the Pacific Ocean, this simple hotel in a colorful building is 2 km from Highway 1D and 9 km from Avenida Revolución, a main thoroughfare in the historic Zona Centro district.
Curated spots travelers usually pair with a stay in Baja California. Distances are rough real-world times, not straight-line.
