Hotel Santa Fe

Awesome place!... Not for the light sleeper, though... The party LITERALLY never stops at the surrounding bars... But I really love that they clean your room everyday... And it's cheap... Plus it's got really good tacos right across the street... ????

I gave the Hotel Santa Fe five stars before I stayed there. It was when I somehow came upon the hotel and noticed the laundered sheets hanging to dry on the line.

The rooms here are very simple compared to the Hotel Pacific or even the Baja Hotel closer to the Santa Fe. But the Santa Fe oozes a sort of historical sentimentality, a nostalgia. I don't know. I don't know why. Maybe because it has the same name as the famous railroad.

My stay here in room 3 was pleasant. The TV didn't work satisfactorily. The hotel replaced the whole thing, and the same problem persisted. It was apparently an error in programming or something. But the hotel acknowledged the problem and did everything possible to fix it. Unlike most Mexican hotels, they didn't gaslight me, saying it was my stupid inability to operate a TV or that mysteriously, all the televisions in Tijuana weren't working. These last excuses are so common as to qualify as typical or typified in the sociological sense across the country. But the Santa Fe didn't do this, and I appreciate that and have only good things to say about the hotel.

See my upcoming book on Mexican hotels: _Aguántala. Gracias Por Su Comprensión_.

Small room but really clean and comfortable

The rooms are simple and bed linen were clean, towels had some stains on them but smelt nice nevertheless. The receptionists weren‘t too friendly but all in all did their job. Parking is included and seems pretty safe, you gotta leave the car keys with the reception.

This doesn’t only refer to this hotel: Most of the streets around the main street may feel a little unsafe at night (after 10 to 11pm). Just make sure you don‘t walk any empty streets alone and leave as many valuables at home as possible.

Walking time downtown: just two minutes

If you like to sleep avoid this hotel at all costs. There is a loud water pump system that goes off every 4 minutes starting at 3 a.m. and runs for hours. If your room is anywhere near it, good luck. Total nightmare.

Not a 5 star hotel but it works for me. The owner has several hotels in the area and all of them are worthy of staying in. Hotel Caesar is my favorite of all but if you are on a budget Hotel Santa Fe or Hotel Catalina are very good choices.
