Good price

Another good stay at Hotel Catalina. Like always very clean and excellent service. Second time staying in room 15. I forgot why I wasn’t to please last visit. This room has a very tight bathroom. Unable to sit on toilet and close the door normally. Outside noise was much better this time.

I have been staying here 3-4 times a month for a year. The hotel and rooms are clean. The rooms upstairs are big and roomy. The TV is new and has all streaming services. The satff is always nice and helpful. Hotel Catalina is my favorite affordable hotel in downtown TJ.

No hay elevador, así que es incómodo para algunas personas. El estacionamiento se encuentra a media cuadra del hotel. Por lo demás es conveniente si solo llegas a descansar

Cable Tv. te lo condicionan a un canal nada mas.

Todo esta pasable, la gente de recepcion es muy atenta y cortes, En realidad por el precio que pagué no puedo ser muy exigente pero, una de las cosas que me molestaron fue el hecho de que te dicen qu tienen cable tv. y solo un canal de television me dieron, llame a recepcion y vino el tecnico y dijo que no podia hacer nada al respecto y tuve que tragar mi coraje y, ver telenovelas turcas en español por que eso era lo unico que podiia ver en tv.😮‍💨

I dig the easy access to many points of the city. If you know how to get around you can catch the taxi bus from here to Rosarito and back. You are also one block from the main Revolution street.

I’ve stayed at this hotel more than 8 times. I had a minor issue where I had to cross back to the US, leave my stuff behind in the hotel. I had a reservation booked and asked if I can pay it when I come back to Tijuana (5pm, which I’ve done before and they let me) they told me no just take your stuff come back and check in! One receptionist in particular always gives me a hard time, the others are nice , kind and treat me with excellent service during my stay.
