Every time I stay long-term in Tijuana I stay at Motel El Deseo. They give me a great weekly rate. There is a security officer there for your protection and a staff that is quick to help with anything you might need. They treat me like family. Just mind your business don't cause any problems and you'll have a wonderful stay.
Stayed there 10 days. The owner and staff are running a tight well oiled operation there and will give you the security you need. You have your own garage. I highly recommend this Motel for anyone who wants to discover the Tijuana red light district.
it's a good place for privacy and location, and mim's from the Border ! Just mind your own business and keep to yourself !
Para mí es el mejor motel de la zona centro buen precio a comparación de otro hoteles que por el mismo precio ofrecen mucho menos yo estoy agusto ahí...
Considering the street its on its pretty good motel. Every room has a garage that you pull into and close. I like it because the garage is the only way to get up into the room which gives you added security. And some rooms have certain themes that can give you that extra spice you may desire. Mon -Thur $14 and Fri - Sun $20. Yes its a seedy area but you have secure parking and your privacy.
It has there own parking garage and very private. Nice but the room could be a little biggerr with a small frig would make it complet.
Historic area with a grand cathedral, plus buzzing bars & discos beneath the soaring Tijuana Arch.
Curated spots travelers usually pair with a stay in Baja California. Distances are rough real-world times, not straight-line.

Short, honest notes are more useful than long ones. A few sentences about what worked, what surprised you, and who the hotel is best for will go a long way.
