The staff was helpful and nice people so I hate saying this… But my room smelled like sewage and had a wet, moldy, damp shower curtain that was just absolutely disgusting and there was paint peeling off the walls and it was just very very gross. I’m a solo male traveler who travels all over the world and I’m not picky, but this was a new level of definite disgusting really really gross really gross and disgusting.

it was ok.The tv was really good and they had HBO channels. The bed was comfy, but the shower pressure was really weak. And the towels were terrible, very old and looked dirty, they looked so bad that I didn't want to use them. The location was really good, But I won't be staying there again, sorry

This a 2/5 Google rating and thats being nice , I could easily say 1 but wanted to take into consideration that I was in tj and I paid 30 bucks... with that being said , no elevator. No AC no fan etc.... in Expedias review ratings it had a 8.2( excellent )and thats only reason i made the reservation.i got got to say the least, i would rate it a 5.0( for mexico) and a 2.0 or maybe even a 1.0 for American/ euro standards. Just my two cents.

They have bed bugs in the room. They put me in on the 8th floor and I'm disabled and cannot walk upstairs. And they still put me in Room 803. Brightness is very rude to customers

It’s not in the best area but they do take security measures. $43 you get a clean place to sleep and shower so you can’t complain. Don’t come here with holiday inn in mind, cause you will upsetting your self. Receptionist was helpful and polite.

When I got to the hotel the receptionist was very friendly at first she couldn’t find my booking for some reason but she took her time and eventually found it they offer free breakfast in the morning. The room was the very best but if you’re only staying for a night it’s not that bad. The only thing that bothered me was that every time I wanted to leave the hotel to get food or go shopping I had to leave the room key at the front desk which I found kinda weird!
