First of all the pictures make it look nicer than it is. I liked the place and would stay again, but it's not for everybody. It is located right on the border between the two border entrances. The location has its pluses and minuses which I will discuss later. When I entered it looked like a flop house with families laying on mattresses. I questioned myself as to my choice. I had to ask someone for directions and they directed me to the second floor. There was a reception desk, separate bathrooms, laundry room, kitchen, dining area, living room and the two tier sleeping cubicles. When I was shown my cubicle I was pleasantly surprised how clean the linens were. The cubicle came with a sheet, pillow with pillow case and a blanket.
Safety: theres activity in the living space (cooking, talking) till at least 11pm. While I could hear it from my cubicle it made me feel safe. The family that runs the place lives there and there is someone at the front desk 24/7. There is a long line of manned cabs outside the entrance 24/7. Being that the location is by the border there are a lot of police. If all hell was to break loose you could run to the US border in about a minute.
Noise level is high, but surprisingly I didn't hear anything from people sleeping in the cubicles around me.
Location minuses: there is not much to do there, especially at night. To get anywhere in Tijuana you have to cross no mans land which is too dangerous at night. You have to cab it out of there and back at night .
Internet price was around $11. Patrons all seemed to be on there iPhone and kept to there selves which made for little interactions. If your a seasoned 3rd world traveler this place will probably be acceptable read more
