The room (208) that I stayed in did match the photos listed. It was clean and tidy when I arrived. It met my expectations, and I loved the aesthetics.
It is a mixed-use establishment, so there is a "food/bar court" area through which you enter the "lofts." Some of the other reviews mentioned the noise being a problem; however, I did not find the noise level to be excessive when considering you are in a city. I actually found the food area as convenient and alluring. I would recommend you check the different eateries.
Now to why I gave the listing, 2 out 5 stars. The main reason was that the owner of this establishment has not installed water tanks/reservoirs, so that people staying in the loft rooms have access to water for showering or toilet use. Tijuana's Commission of Public Services does "water cuts" in certain neighborhoods in order to save "energy." Most businesses and many private homes plan for these cuts by installing water tanks. Some will also buy water from private companies to provide their businesses with running water. As this is not a stand alone loft/studio listing but a boutique style hotel with multiple listings; therefore, I believe it is imperative that they have such tanks installed. I didn't see no warning or receive anything from the host about the shut-off which Tijuana's Commission on Public Services has dates listed on their website. The first day, I was without water for about 6 hours and the following shut-off I was without water for about 24-hours. I asked the staff, and I was told they were bringing a water truck; however, it never came. I just don't understand how AirBnB would allow Hosts to post listings such as these without proper warning. I didn't want a camp site.
If you do stay, I suggest you save water bottles as you will probably need them to shower and flush the toilet. I bought two large water containers and used that to shower and flush the toilet during the second water shut-off. You can also Google CESPT (it is in Spanish) to see if there will be water shut-offs when you intend to stay - if you're adamant on staying here.
The second thing I was not happy with was the misleading amenities section. On the AirBnb listing, it says, "free parking on premises." This is a blatant lie. There is no on premises parking. They reserve the parking for employees. Guest must park on the street, so keep that in mind as well if you're traveling with a car. I believe I did read something similar on another review.
Like I mentioned in the beginning, the rooms are nice and tidy, the staff is great, and the food court area are fabulous to have around. I would have given this place a four if they had just lied about the parking, but even then I might have given them a five since I did enjoy plenty of this place. All in all, y'all should be cautious when book -Oh! FYI ... it can get hot in the rooms with only a ceiling fan.
