In a city that is super hot we were having AC issues and they sent maintenance here and it broke again and I asked the front desk if they can give me a new room and they declined to provide me a new room but they want maintenance to come and check it one more time before they would switch me, at that point if I go back to a room with no AC I wanted a refund. FRONT DESK DOES NOT ANSWER THE PHONE. CANT EVEN SAY IT WAS BAD SERVICE IF YOU CANT EVEN GET A HOLD OF THEM.

Necesita mejorar

Casi en todos en mis viajes a Tijuana (placer o negocios) había elegido este hotel por su ubicación y que incluía lo necesario para una estancia cómoda y segura. En esta ocasión, a pesar que sólo fue 1 noche, me encontré con un hotel muy saturado con muchas personas en los alrededores y no se veían particularmente como clientes habituales. Referente a la habitación, el sistema de A/Ac hacía demasiado ruido (no lo normal para un sistema minisplit). En los pasillos y demás del hotel se escucharon también muchos ruidos durante toda la noche. El Wifi bastante inestable con desconexiones constantes y el desagüe de la regadera del baño estaba tapada; por lo que se volvió un estanque que poco a poco fue drenando.
