Conveniently located in the center of the Centro area, this hotel provides reasonable pricing, with boutique hotel amenities. I have stayed in dozens of hotels in Tijuana, this is my current favorite. This hotel can serve a purpose but just know what you are getting if you make a reservation. My towels were damp, probably from not being dried enough in the laundry. There are also almost no amenities - no fridge, hair dryer, tissue box. The rooms were not clean, with little stains here and there, paint peeling off, mold in the bathroom area etc. The walls are thin so you'll be hearing a lot of noise (though just from the inside of the hotel - the hotel is set back enough from the street that you don't hear street noise). This is probably why the rooms have a smell. There is no fresh air in the rooms and no ventilation, other than noisy wall unit A/C which is only recirculating the same stale air.

There is almost no natural light - one window faces the interior hotel atrium, and two tiny windows located in the shower room open to an alleyway. The rooms are just nasty - smelly, noisy, dirty. The public areas of the hotel have been recently spruced up and look nice. Check in and check out are a breeze and the staff will help whenever they can. The staff here are good too, very efficient and friendly. The security of this place is good, which is much appreciated considering the seediness of the area. It looks nice from the outside, and is set back from the main road by a private parking lot which is guarded. That being said, let me explain more about this hotel. It's not a place you'll want to spend any extra time at. If you don't care about anything other than having a bed in a convenient location, this place is a good value and may work for you. It is convenient to many of the establishments that people come to TJ for. The hotel is right in the middle of the red light district. This is the kind of place you stay to get a few hours of sleep after getting drunk in one of TJ's many drinking establishments.
