The hotel did not live up to its advertising or the photos shown online. Despite being labeled as smoke-free, the rooms had a noticeable smoke odor. The bed sheets were not clean, and the corridors had a strong urine smell—as if someone had been urinating under the stairs. The nighttime staff were not particularly friendly or helpful. I’m surprised this hotel is even listed on Expedia; it’s definitely not a place I would recommend for families.

I felt that the location is great. There are several walkable places close by. The area is quiet and I felt safe too. The only down side was the pool wasn't clean during my stay so it couldn't be used. The staff was helpful. I love that breakfast was included also.

The door to the room was extremely hard to open and slammed shut when let go. The water ran in the bathtub shower the whole time we were there making it really noisy in the quiet hours of the night. When I talked to the girl at the front desk, she only said she would let the maintenance know.

Needs improvement

We came to San Diego for a medical appointment in tijuana. We booked the hotel knowing it had low reviews. The two main problems were: 1, so many coats of paint on the door it was impossible to open without putting full force into and 2. The TV /Internet sucked. Not a clear picture the whole time we were here. The staff we interacted with was friendly and helpful, the hotel just needs an update.

The area its located at is excellent and convenient. But the hotel room will smack you with a stench when you first open the door and the furniture, fridge was not cleaned. And the room is dusty. Won’t recommend staying more than one night or the whole day. The dust will make you sick. Just like what it did to my 3 year old
