I would recommend this hotel for anyone that doesn't like driving in Tijuana. It is very close to the border, it has a safe and free parking. The room was small but it was comfy enough.

I reserved a room with one queen bed for one person for one night. I am very pleased with the room, although it is small - most of the space taken up by the bed. It is simple, but completely adequate, very clean and attractive. There is a compact bathroom with nice tile and a good shower for one person. Beside the bathroom a small built-in table with shelves above is perfect for a carry-on. A shallow but wide counter on the other side of the bed works well for a laptop and offers charging options. Above the end of the counter is a rod for hanging up a few clothes. The lighting, electrical outlets, air conditioner and wall-mounted tv all contribute to a room that functions very well. It's quiet, relaxing, simple - exactly what I wanted. The City Express shuttle is available only for short rides leaving from the hotel. It will not pick you up - say at the airport - and bring you to the hotel. A cab from the airport to the hotel cost me $500 pesos before a tip. The shuttle leaves from the hotel once an hour but needs to be arranged in advance. I would certainly stay here again.

I stayed here for 6 days with my aunt and cousin, 2 of those days I had to drive back to LA to sleep in my bed. Beds are so small they cannot accommodate more that 2 people per room, I informed them that my 12 year old cousin was coming so we can switch to a bigger room and they said they couldn't help. Also the furniture is stuck to the walls so if you accidentally drop paper or something behind the division you don't get it back , I informed them 3 times and they said that I need to wait for maintenance, but during my stay maintenance never came to check that situation. I made extra copies of my forms but imagine it would had been my passport. Also the breakfast was good but repetitive. But No vegan options. No decaf coffee. Oh and there is no fridge in room, I bought milk for my cereal and some tamales they brought me needed to be refrigerated. I had to put AC on high to help them keep cool. There are small restaurants and grocery stores near by to go buy snacks but like I said no fridge so harder to have options. Plenty of parking since they share with the other hotel. Easy access to it. Rooms get cleaned regularly. Most staff was super nice and welcoming. Recommend for a few days not for a long stay.
