Hotel and room was extremely clean, jacuzzi worked great, complimentary delicious breakfast (chilaquiles with eggs, coffee and Jamaica) beautiful decor & art throughout the hotel. However, the staff that checked us left a lot to be desired. The hotel staff failed to verbally inform us that parking validation needed to be done within FIFTEEN minutes of our arrival, and refused to provide us with validation the morning after once we were checking out despite validation on hotels on major cities being standard. Despite explaining to the staff that we were not aware of such a ridiculous small time frame for validation, and that we could not see their sign when there was a big crowd checking in, they proposed deducting this from their employee instead of the hotel taking responsibility for the parking fee. We refused. It left us with an unpleasant experience as we were leaving a hotel we thought we would be coming back to every time we came to Tijuana. Very unfortunate.

The staff was very helpful. However, I ' ve stayed at this hotel several times in the past and there's something different. 1- I used to park across the street without a problem. Yesterday they told me that costumers of the hotel had to park on the 3rd floor. That was totally inconvenient. 2- The lighting in the room is too low and there's no way to make brighter. 3- The bathroom door was hard to open from the inside, I had to call my wife to open it from the outside. 4- I don't recall it to be so noisy, the tenants of 201 were makin up and I couldn't sleep from all their noises of extreme pleasure! 5- The breakfast was not very good but, I did like the coffee! Conclusion , this hotel has become like the others (one night stand). I don't think I would stay here again and definitely will not recommend to anyone!
