Rooms are basic but very clean. Mattresses need to be updated but we’re still ok. Rooms were cleaned every day! Maid service was fantastic. Front desk staff was very nice and helpful. Flat screen TVs with cable. Not smart TVs so expect Spanish only cable. No way to hook into your Netflix or whatever. All in all, this was a good stay especially for the cost!

Hair on the pillows of never been changed since the 70s I’m guessing could feel every spring on the mattress probably from an earlier era…however the water pressure was great
Love this hotel close to the beach you can walk you can walk to Manny’s also down the street. There’s Lolitas where it’s a breakfast buffet love this hotel will recommend.
They are hosting the mexican police there for months they have about 15 trucks parked and meetings blocking the parking lot. They start getting up at 5- 6am making alot of noise comings up and down the rooms like its a boot camp. Couldn't sleep at all.. hated it there will never go back.
The place was well maintained for its age. Staff was friendly and house keeping did a good job. The surprising thing was the restaurant bar was an American Legion Post 15. Service was exceptional but they only take cash no credit cards. Dollars or pesos accepted.
I almost didn’t book after reading some of the other reviews, but glad I did. This exceeded my expectations. It is weathered, but has character. Old, but clean. I felt very comfortable and safe. Easy walk to the beach. Everyone is super friendly. Great value for the price.

I loved the front desk staff, my husband’s truck broke down and the guy at the front desk went above and beyond to help us, I forgot to ask his name but he worked the morning shift on 06/21/25 The lady who checked us in was very friendly too.
It was not terrible, Just some dumping from construction. We overall liked Hotel Baja and the staff was great and very responsive. The room was a little small, but it was clean and a great location. We enjoyed our stay.
Have stayed at this hotel many time over the last 20 years.
Always clean, beds are not very comfortable but manageable for a 2 night stay.
Staff is always very friendly.
