Hacienda Soler is more than adequate for the price, a regular room will only run you around $25/night with jacuzzi and suite variations being only nominally more than that.
The rooms are spacious and well-designed as overhead living space above your own private parking garage. Slightly off the beaten path you're definitely outside of downtown TJ, but that's somewhat of a relief as you can take a breather from the traffic and the congestion that comes with downtown living.
Major drawbacks are that they don't allow in-and-out privileges, so once you're checked in, you're in for the night. Which would have been fine had we known that prior to checking in; we ended up asking if we could scoot to the gas station next door for some snacks and other necessities and that seemed to be okay by the staff so long as someone remained behind in the room. The other major drawback was given your "in" status there's no wifi, so unless you enjoy the Spanish language TV you're kind of limited on your personal entertainment options.
Rooms come equipped with a dvd player and a ipod dock so there are some entertainment outlets, but not many. Seems like a great place to hideaway for a night or two with the special someone, but definitely not a place to take the kids especially since you're going to be trapped with them all night.
Other than that, the bathroom was sparsely furnished with few soaps/shampoos or extra towels. No coffee maker/cups/dishes/etc. The hot water in the shower was extremely comfortable at the highest level, which is probably why the hot water at the faucet was never hot.
TL;DR: Would go again with adequate forethought of planning and coming well-outfitted. Great value for the price. I'd complain, but what was I expecting for $25USD/night. read more
