This hotel needs a lot of work. It's old and the look inside the room feels like you are visiting a mexican pueblo style house and sorry to say but not in a good way. It also had a strong smell on the pillow cases and bed sheets. The floors were filthy just by looking at my kids' socks from the bottom and my feet (right after taking a shower). I did not try the breakfast but my family did and were not impressed. The room was noisy as it is located next to the freeway. It was very hard to fall a sleep. I am not planning to return, even if it was for free.
3.7
It was a good stay for the price, room didn’t have a microwave, but rooms were cute and clean. I’d stay again. Free breakfast as well included.
3.7
The room was fine. I don't think it was worth $200 a night. I was disappointed with breakfast. We had our one year old with us and there was no fruit except a bowl which coukd fit no more than 3 apples in it. No yogurt etc... eggs were inedible not even our dog would eat them. Other than that waffles and bagels were tasty. Beds were ok. Staff was the best part. They were very pleasant.
3.7
Walked to the door and it was cracked open. Opened door had a moldy smell. Turned on the ac the window coverings were stained with soemthing brown. Pulled back sheets there was a long black hair under the covers. Went straight to desk and reported wanted my money returned. Left went to another Hotel in the area.
3.7
The price was good. Two king beds was comfortable for 4 guests. But the floor was not clean. The bathrooms were old and not enough supplies. Small toilet. Very old place. Breakfast was okay.
3.7
The room was fine. The check in person was very accommodating. The first room they gave us smelled really bad of smoke (306) so she is the one that said it smells bad and was unacceptable. She walked us to two different rooms and let us choose, so that was nice. The room was good. Tile floors which we like because it just feels cleaner. There was some sort of odor, so thanks to reviews we brought a candle and that took care of the odor. Breakfast was small but the bagel did the job. They have vending machines but the are cash only. Fridge and
Microwave came in handy. We would stay here again if we were in the area. Starbucks and taco shop across the street and a market. 100 yards or so walk. Easy

Booked this reservation in April of 2023 for a concert in August of 2023. Fast forward 5 months later to day of the booking this Hotel cancelled my reservation without notifying me. Drove 3 hours to be told “sorry I’m not sure why no one told you but we have no rooms and we cannot do anything for you” with no email or phone call to let us know. they proceeded to blame Expedia for no one reaching out to tell me our reservation was cancelled. Expedia then confirmed it is the hotels responsibility. Refused to accommodate us or even let us use the rest room after the long car ride we traveled. Spent an hour and a half on the phone with Expedia trying to book a new hotel as most were fully booked. Finally got a new room total of 2 hours later with no help, compensation or sincere apology from the poorly managed Hotel Baja. Absolutely will not be back here.

We just stayed here to sleep for a night to cross the boarder.

Cancelled our (fully paid) booking with no notice and turned us away after we travelled 24 hours with 2 children who have ASN. Refused to help us find somewhere else.

Location close to shopping and food

Everything was good just that the room had a weird smell and the tub was not working properly and the bed was kind of hard I did wake up with a backache.
3.7
The water pressure in the shower is very low
3.7
Pro's: Front desk staff was always personable and attentive when asked for items. The bed was comfortable and the pillow was heavenly - slept great! The room service did a great job cleaning.
Con's: The outside needs attending to and please find another place in back perhaps to discard or store replacement mattresses it made the appearance look bad. Upgrade the outside to look nicer like the pictures online (so that was a bit deceiving). Also, breakfast is a big miss!!! Please offer more than water and your version of "orange juice" - have actual orange juice and offer fruit at the minimum. If you are going to advertise a full breakfast then have it in place. Also, make sure you have enough towels in the room for the amount of guests and when asked once make a note so the customer does not have to keep asking during the stay.

Best hotel that I’ve stayed at. Rooms are amazing. Love the decor. Nice and clean overall a plus!
3.7
The photos of the rooms were very cute and we thought this would be a fun, unique hotel experience, but it was AWFUL. The room smelled terrible (like something rotting) and the sheets made us itch (in separate rooms!). The tubs were old and worn out and DIRTY (you could scrape dried soap out of it) and even though we prepaid two nights, we left after the first one because it was that bad. The staff were friendly enough but the experience in the rooms were just bad.
3.7
The way the room was setup. The neighbors upstairs were constantly making noise even late at night (3:00am).
3.7
Being in the side of I 5, the hotel must have sound proof rooms.But it looked like sleeping on the side of freeway. It was very noisy from interstate traffic.
3.7
Hotel wasn’t as nice as it looks in pictures. Pool is small and continental breakfast was very underwhelming and kid oriented. I had a bowl of cereal and warm hard boiled eggs as I’m protein person in the mornings. Service was fine but room only seemed clean. My feet were black after walking barefoot in my room and sink and shower drains were gross with build up inside the drain. Lastly and worst of all is the noise, children infested the hotel even late at night running around screaming outside our room. The walls were paper thin, I could hear someone’s phone call in the parking lot and upstairs neighbors kept us up all night! I wouldn’t recommend unless your a family of heavy sleepers but for the price don’t even bother.

Quiet place near to the Tijuana border.

I like everything but the smell of the is not good,but everything is good.
3.7
Hotel was lovely. It was nice and clean and the staff was super friendly and helpful. I would stay there again.
3.7
The check-in staff was nice but we felt betrayed as they offered a room on the third floor making it seem like it was going to be nice and quiet. Little did we know that there were a bunch of kids running around all day and night. It seems like they live on the premises. No parents around at any time. The room was clean but we ended up not staying and leaving around midnight because of the intolerable nuisance.
3.7
Stayed one night while in town for a concert. Check in was easy and friendly
Room is much nicer than I expected...lots of beautiful decor. Pretty clean...just a couple of minor unkempt things. Surrounding area is mellow. Would stay here again.
3.7
The rooms were nice but kept having issues with the wifi
3.7
We went for our anniversary and wanted to stay local. We enjoyed the jacuzzi suite. The only concern is the noise that can be heard from other rooms and hallways. Other than that everything was great.
3.7
I would not recommend this place at all it was very loud I had neighbors that came in at 1:20 am you could hear them yelling, partying until 5:30am I didn’t feel safe at all I’m usually one not bash but the room was hideous itself I checked out early waited in the lobby for my ride and asked if they had a restroom she said no so I had to walk across the street I thought that was ridiculous this hotel is affiliated with quality inn I’m very surprised that Expedia is advertising this hotel I booked it for my night coming back in canceled it that’s how bad it is I also overheard a customer checking out complaining about getting bite and the sheets where dirty I’m glad I slept on top of my sheets I could go on but won’t just a no for me

Convenient close to shopping and places to go to .like the comfortable bed and pillows

Good staff

All wonderful except way too expensive

The highway noise was enough to make anyone dislike this property. Constant cars and motorcycles throughout the night. The pool area was dirty and the beds were very uncomfortable. Gave more than 24 hours notice and still charged a penalty by this property is also very upsetting. Definitely made to look better on webpage than reality.
3.7
The staff was very polite that’s about it. My room had roaches, hot water didn’t work at all. Called them to fix it and it still didn’t work. Floor was dirty.. I guess you get what you pay for.. never ever again will I be that cheap
3.7
The building was okay, The morning breakfast was not good. The last stay there in 2018 it was very good. Now you are better off to go elsewhere for breakfast.
3.7
Hotel is conveniently located a few minutes away from the boarder and right off the freeway. Staff is super friendly.
3.7
Although weather was nice ac did not work room was stuffy. No telephone to front desk no bedside lamps. No hooks to hang reusable towels or door signs to indicate do not disturb or housekeeping needed. Beds were comfy and was a great deal for having 3 full size beds in one room also close to attractions
3.7
I’ve read mixed reviews about this property but so far I’m totally impressed. The grounds are lovely and my room is very clean and very nice! I love the boutique feel of the room. Lots of nice pictures on the walls…not under glass screwed to the walls but oils hanging like you would have at your home. Many little decorative nicnancks like candles and flowers and statues. Very homey! The shower in my room is a gigantic walk-in. All the floors are tile and spotless. Fridge, microwave, coffee machine, couch, dining area. Unfortunately I am on the 3rd floor and overlooking the I5 freeway and it’s quite noisy but I turned on the fan (AC unit) and that pretty much drowns most of the noise out. Front desk staff was wonderful and the property is directly across the street from a grocery store and 2 taquerias, a pizza joint and a brew pub. What more could you want??
