This place has a steam room and jacuzzi well maintained in some of their rooms. Great prices, clean and comfortable.

Let's first say - This hotel is $40 USD for a Friday night last minute. We are not talking a "FOUR…read moreSTAR HOTEL" We are talking a one or two star hotel but with a 4 star experience. Now, with that in mind, I'll delve further into my 4 stars... This place is like the cougar of hotels - it may not be shiny, beautiful and crisp but Hotel Nelson knows what it's doing and it gets the job done. Hotel Nelson as been around since the 1950's and it shows. It shows in the elevator that makes you wonder if you'd have preferred to take the stairs. It shows in the tile in the bathrooms and the squeak in the floor through the hallways. It shows in the dark bar on the first floor and the paint that is layered upon layer through out the building. The entire hotel has a lot of charm. Here I am using the word "charm" to replace: history, dated, well lived in, and borderline dingy. On a recent trip to TJ, we tried 5 other hotels on Revolution that are more highly regarded by locals only to find none of them had rooms available and ending up at Hotel Nelson. The hotel is in a great location right near the Arc de Tijuana and is easy to navigate to from the border, or back to the border after sleeping off some beers. Hotel room: The keys for the rooms that aren't occupied are held in cubbies behind the front counter just like in old movies. A single queen bed with a table, chair, local cable TV and bathroom is $40 USD for one night. The paint on the walls isn't in the best condition, the windows are single pane so you can hear everything from the street and the toilet may or may not clog at any given moment. However, for a place right on Revolution Ave for a last minute bed when you decide you'd rather have a few more beers than cross over back to the US, I couldn't ask for any more. The staff speaks limited English but you could probably manage to get a room so long as you're not too drunk to be polite and read the limited signs in English. My budding Spanish skills and the friendly staff have made it work easily for me on several occasions. After you pay your bucks (they take card too) you will be escorted up to your room by hotel staff. They will hand over your keys, a trash bag filled with fresh toilet paper, towels for the shower and two small bars of soap before leaving you to check out your view from the window. You can hear mariachis, crowds and cars late into the night and again in the morning. I love being woken up by mariachi horns, but you may not agree, so keep this in mind. Hotel Bar: The bar has very clear signs to prohibit smoking, but even though they are pictographs and don't require translation to any language, they don't seem to work. That's Mexico for ya. Caguamas (32oz bottles of beer) run a few dollars each and if you get a star on your receipt you get a free drink. I haven't had the mixed drinks, but they have a full bar if you're not into Mexican beers. I've talked a bit with some of the patrons but the bartenders don't seem to have the same conversational skills, or at least the desire to speak to Americans. No worries though, the service is prompt and they can work with you if your Spanish is limited. The bathrooms are typical for TJ and reasonably clean and stocked with TP and paper towels. Hotel Restaurant: Breakfast of an omelet with beans and potatoes, chilaquiles (for me) and two beers was $13 USD with a great view of tourists and mariachis on the street. Service was prompt, beers cold and my food was delicious. The sauce on the chilaquiles alone makes me want to head back. I look forward to checking out their other menu items on my next stay. This isn't the Holiday Inn, but if you don't have the patience (or maybe stomach) for some good old Mexican culture, there's one a taxi ride away. Expect to pay more than double what Hotel Nelson will run ya.

This review is for the bar as I didn't stay in the Hotel. We were touristing around the strip. Long…read morestory of why we stopped here, so I'll spare you the details...all I'll say is that I grew up part time around downtown in the Summers. We ordered the house special cocktail - La Especial. A drink made of clear rum, coke, 7-up and a splash of fresh squeezed lime juice over ice! So refreshing and only $50 Pesos ($2.50 dlls.) It's my new favorite rum drink! : ).

Nunca había tenido queja de este hotel, siempre buen servicio pero esta vez definitivamente no me…read morevuelvo a hospedar aquí: Cuando reservé hablé para saber si podía hacer el Check in antes de las 3:00pm y me dijeron que si que hasta podía bajar la app de la empresa del hotel y no pagar por el check in antes, pero que hablara un día antes y avisara. Hablé y la señorita que me atendió me dijo que el hotel estaba sold out y que no tenía habitaciones para hacer el check in antes pero que me podía reservar una habitación al precio que estaba para yo hacer el check in antes, entonces? Si había pero me la querían cobrar. Llegamos y nos dieron una habitación tipo 2:30 pero nos dijeron que solamente mi perrito de podía quedar en el piso uno, que en otros pisos no aceptaban mascotas y se supone que es PET FRIENDLY... Después nos dijeron que el perro no se podía quedar solo, nunca antes nos ha pasado entonces ningún hotel, mi perrito es súper tranquilo, y no ladra fuimos al Oxxo que está en la esquina cuando ya nos estaban hablando que dejamos al perro solo, mi perrito estaba sedado debido a unos estudios que le hicieron y se quedó dormido, lo cual le comenté al muchacho pero estábamos comprando agua en el Oxxo y nos dijo que no tardáramos. Llegamos al cuarto y estábamos descansando mi perrito dormido, cuando sonó el teléfono de una recepcionista súper MENTIROSA diciendo que mi perro estaba ladre y ladre y que un huésped fue y enseño el video, le pregunté que si podía ver el video porque había VARIOS perritos cuando hicimos el check in, dos perritos jugaron con el mío en el lobby, y le dije lo mismo que al otro que mi perro estaba sedado ósea estaba súper dormido y cuando ella habló no escuchó absolutamente nada, y me dijo que bajara a ver el video y me colgó.... No me vuelvo a hospedar aquí y no lo vuelvo a recomendar PARA NADA!!!!! Las toallas solamente dejan 2 y nunca hay más el jabón que ponen súper corriente... Así esque si viajan con sus perrunos, los estarán molestando!
