“This budget-friendly hotel is remarkably close to the Mexican border and caters practically to those visiting nearby attractions like Las Americas Premium Outlets. While the decor is modern, with in-room conveniences like Wi-Fi, the basic design focuses on value. I think its best feature is the outdoor pool, a welcome addition given the proximity to both Tijuana and San Diego.”
