Well let me start by stating the pluses, because they do exist too, just the negative is being…read morehonest and fair.
Pros:
Proximity to beach, you can walk from your room to it.
Cheap price-depends on your expectations, if your particular (aka Anal) then your view is it was overpriced
Parking, unless there's a big event going on, good luck and/or your lose your spot in front of door.
It has common motel amenities (hopefully, I read old reviews stating they didn't have a mini fridge or working stove top, etc.
It's kinda cute cabana style, ours was the lower priced, no frills, not pictured on their website, some parts dated, some parts w/minor imperfections, some cool modern Mexican artsy, cold be romantic for the newly in love, little cozy, but for a person who doesn't aim high in lodging. Did I miss anything?
Pet friendly (yay, but your pets should be up to date w/immunizations-to go back home/border) and people should leash, but they don't ;(
For it being winter & a rainy cold day/night, hot water in our room did work, but not really hot, not cold, balanced unless you like hotter? Your out of luck.
You could probably pile people in your room, might need air mattress as the floors are concrete.
Your next to a Italian restaurant, Casino & bar club, and close to, if not on strip. (short drive/ride - bike or horse back)
Our room had plenty of storage for two people. Of course it's very thrifty diy kinda style. And we had a small ironing board/iron.
Staff was polite & accommodating, when you go to them.
THE CONS:
Upper case emphasis, because they are important details.
No AC/Heating, being winter & a rainstorm weekend, we would have froze our asses off if we hadn't bought a cheaply made heater (but not cheap in price) from Walmart, thick plushy mink (Korean, ironically?!) blankets from Puerto Nuevo that were overpriced for out there because it was nighttime & shops in Tijuana were closed.
Had it not been for those two items, would have had to drink ourselves to sleep. (For those middle aged & past that party stage) remember floors are concrete too :/
Small note: someone on website review stated they did ask for a heater & told they were all being used, that would have been the case since it was already raining when we got there. Summer can imagine it's hot & humid-bring a large floor van.
Leaks due to rainstorm found randomly in kitchen & bathroom floors.
No room service during your stay.
One roll of TP, so you'll have to ask for another
Only two towels, so you should ask for more like one for the floor (no mat)
Our bathroom was tiny.
No carpet
Not sure if stove work, we didn't use & from what I read from the website reviews, u needed to ask for the propane
Leaky iron
Pictures on their link don't include the cheaper rooms, & from what I read, the more expensive luxury rooms didn't look at all like what's on their website as well
Luckily it was winter & rainy so no loud noises from either walls of room, but keep in mind it can be noisy since it's a party beach town atmosphere. And that your next door to a bar club casino-God knows what kinds of noises, bring good noise canceling headphones
Also, you'll never know what to expect by whose staying next to you, but the witless youngsters next to us came outside the morning we were leaving, plopped themselves on planter median that was facing our window we opened/tied curtains, drinking coffee staring at us as we're packing....WTF & who the f&@ does that? Oh wait ignorant rude people. All rooms there have their private enclosed patio/porch & why the hell didn't they sit in front of their room??? Yes children, there are a lot of unschooled people that lack respect & etiquette.
Found a bug in the restroom, that's expected.
Although kitchen window was frosted, there was a portion that was clear, the curtains although blackouts, were too small for windows, that anyone can see right through your room. I had a binder of docs w/me I used, plus instructions for portable heater to block it. What that purpose of window was, I'll never know except for perves & people to peep in.
Those remarks above say it all for me.
It wasn't that bad, this can be revamped into a better motel. It's got potential!
Would I recommend this place? Of course! But only w/few critical comments from what I mentioned.
