Great Bargain

Conveniently located to the Interstate and a short cab ride to the border crossing, it is also very easy to use the bus/trolley system to return to the San Ysidro border crossing (much cheaper than a cab), the restaurant next door (Coco's), in my opinion.serves excellent low-cost meals. Have stayed at this locale several times and will continue to return.

Good location

This hotel is a very good location if you are looking to venture into Tijuana. Not a bad hotel, fast food places are right next door, pretty close to trolley.

Sightseeing tip: Short walk from hotel

If you are not afraid of a 10 minute walk, take the trolley to the "Iris" stop, a couple stops away from the border, then a 10-15 minute walk, or a $7 cab to the hotel, whichever suits you :-) $45 cab to the airport.

Short family gateaway

Overall, it was OK. The room service could be better. You get a couple of clean towels when you check-in. You get a couple more if you go to the office and ask for it. My reservation was for two nights. The door key was deactivated on the second day. I had to go to the office to reactivate it. They did not clean the room on the second day. I did not bother since I was too tired; just went to bed instead of asking for clean room. They provided breakfast. That was nice since I don't get that in most other hotels. I stayed in other hotel chain prior to this and the room cleanliness and you get enough towels - they are not stingy on towels.

More awesome than expected

Was a very nice room. Better than i was expecting. They had free internet access which was a plus. The area surrounding the hotel was less than par but the actual hotel grounds were nice and inviting.

Great for basic stays in the area.

OK, this place is a basic hotel like so many others BUT it's location is great for Mexico travel and close to central San Diego. Right off the highway but quiet still. Walk to CoCo's for food, small refer in room, very comfy beds/pillows. Decent breakfast provided, etc. Really can't beat it for a good nights sleep, comfy bed and hot showers. Small pool and hot tub was nice too. Actually no complaints for no frills accommodations. Clean, quiet, casual.
