Hotel Tapatio

For 250 Pesos, one person gets to share three bathrooms with everyone on the third floor. They were all missing toilet seats, and one even had a toilet inside the shower stall. The bathrooms usually smelled bad, there was never toilet paper, and hot water was rare. You were lucky if the water got warm enough to stand taking a shower. Best hotel in Zona Norte Tijuana next to Hong Kong's~`Cascada's☆~♤Hotel♡~☆

I felt safe there, and no one stole anything. The beds were big, the floors and bed frames were nice, the windows opened for air, and there was hot water. My TV didn't work, and the Wi-Fi kept cutting in and out. I liked this place a lot for being at the back of downtown in a supposedly kind of ghetto area. Mari, whose name is Mexican, was a really nice and helpful lady. Érica, a white woman, has a great loud voice, and noe and Romania are two great men, both super chill and calm.

My brother stays there, so I went to visit him. It's a typical day, week, or month motel, one block from the red light district, and costs 350 pesos or $17 a night. His room was small, with the bathroom just to the left as you come through the door. There was a full size bed, a side table, and some shelves, but no chairs or table. Visitors usually aren't allowed unless you tip the manager 100 pesos. Since I was family, he let me come through without paying.

The remodel helped a lot, but there are still problems. The constant noise is the main one. People seem to stay up, and both guests and staff add to it. I don't think the rating should be this high.
