I came here to pick someone up from the CBX terminal, which connects directly to the Tijuana airport right at the border. This hotel is ideally located for that and it's very clean. One of my favorite things is that they offer complimentary essentials like toothbrushes, toothpaste, razors, combs, and other handy items if you need them.

The room was clean; however, the room stunk of wet rag. We didn’t complain because we were only there for one night. It was also very loud.
