"My teenage daughter and I got a late start heading to Tijuana. We ended up reaching the boarder around 1am and checked in to get some sleep before crossing in the morning. Staff was so kind. Rooms are spacious, but not fancy. They do have a microwave and a mini fridge which was great as we had left overs. We'd stay again before or after crossing."
