Everything is great in this hotel. The two times we stayed we didn’t get charged a deposit fee. The 3rd time which was different we were charged a $20 holding fee which we were ok with. Once we checked out the receptionist told us they would have to check out our room to make sure everything was fine and we would get our deposit back. After them checking they told us everything was good and they would return our money back to our card. A few days later we notice that they kept the $20. Which was ok but they have to be honest and keep their word so people could trust to stay there again a next time.

Very nice hotel and close to my dentist for an overnight stay in Tijuana. Room was clean and we'll appointed. Bed and bathroom were clean and comfortably for my stay. No loud noises and everything worked great. Some miscommunication with the hotel and Expedia as the front desk staff told me I had booked two nights, and that I had called in to confirm, but I showed him that I only booked one night, although my total Expedia trip itinerary was two nights between SD and TJ. I had definitely not called the hotel either, so not sure who called in. I was only charged the one night so it was fine, but it was a little annoying as he didn't drop it until after the third time I said I only booked one night. It was a late night check-in so perhaps we were all a bit tired. Overall happy with the stay and great area of the city.
