Grand Hotel Tijuana

10/10 Excellent

"Rooms super clean. Check in was fast and easy very helpfull all ways."

City Express by Marriott Tijuana Río

10/10 Excellent

"Everything from the parking staff to the front desk to the housekeeping have 5 stars. The rooms were clean, and they had and iron. I know an Iron is not a big deal for most but u will be surprised how many places don’t have one or a dry cleaning service. That said everything was great. One small thing was two of our rooms were not ready on time. They had about a 30-45 delay which wasn’t too big of a deal but something to note. Again everything was awesome, clean sheets and great smelling room. They did provide breakfast even though we didn’t take advantage of it."

Hotel Real del Río

10/10 Excellent

"My new Tijuana favorite. Had been staying at the Hyatt Place but due to front desk staff being rude the last few visits at the Hyatt, I wanted to try a new place. Hotel Real del Rio was amazing! Pros: * Great shower, so relaxing and clean. Seriously the best shower in a hotel room I’ve seen in a long time. Forever hot water and spacious. * Property was incredibly clean. * Staff treated me like they wanted me to be there. * Restaurant and room service staff went above and beyond! * Bed was super comfy and slept great! Cons * No coffee maker in room, but room service for coffee is inexpensive and better than making your own cup. * Checkout took a few mins, I believe they look at groom before they allow you to checkout. Not a big deal but seemed a little odd. Sometimes trying something new is risky, but I now have a new favorite in Tijuana. It’s great!!! Going back a few times in the next few weeks."
