Located in the northern zone of TJ, I liked being near touristy Revolucion, but in a real Mexican setting. It was a bargain for a five day stay, two star but very clean, well painted and maintained. I do speak Spanish, but a friendly staff would help you in English. Not as nice looking on the outside, as in the actual rooms and floors. Biggest problem...unfortunately...was they did not find my reservation which I made several weeks in advance, but did find me a room. Double bed was not what I wanted...looking for a Queen size, but I don't think it is common here. Room service was usually in the late afternoon around 4 to 5:30...which could be a problem when you just want to go to your room and rest after a day out, but it was quickly cleaned, friendly staff, and the Fabuloso smell dissipated within 10 minutes! Fan only, so warmer days might be a problem here. TV worked as did Internet access. Stairs only as far as I know, and there are three levels.
Great deal was the independent restaurant under the hotel, which was open 24/7 with a good menu of typical Mexican foods. Especially liked the 95 pesos deal which included a drink, soup and a main course with rice and beans and tortillas...that's around 4.75 dollars. Middle aged moms were the cooks and it was all home cooking! I'd return and recommend it to the bargain hunting traveler. I enjoy searching for deals in different countries. This is a keeper on my list.
