Aqua Rio

At less than $ 50 for an air conditioned room and good Wi-​Fi access, Hotel Aqua Rio is priced very well for what you get. The rooms seem clean, fairly fresh and more than adequate for a short stay in Tijuana.
The staff are very polite, professional and easy to deal with. There’s security on site, usually at reception, creating a feeling of safety.
Located fairly centrally, Aqua Rio is within easy walking distance to much of Tijuana’s pubs, restaurants and nightlife.
Pros: location, staff, comfortable rooms, value for money
Cons: linens are a bit worn, neighborhood noise easily makes it’s way into the rooms

**OJO OJO OJO OJO OJO** I just stayed here on Friday night to check out on Saturday, and say to say an unfortunate incident occurred. The Hotel was small, no parking available, no room service, no towels in the bathroom. NO AC! Very very hot. Unfortunately the showers were glass doors that did not open correctly. When my husband took a shower and tried to get out one of the doors entirely broke all over him. He was full of glass and has a small cut on his foot. Thankfully nothing else happened. We reported it to the front fest 45 minutes later they came to pick it up. Not once ask if we needed a first aid kit, nor offered us anything else. When we checked out they wanted to charge us $ 90.00 for the shower door when clearly it was an accident. I refused they called the Police. The officer said it was not my husband’s fault it was clearly an accident but the owner wanted his money if not my husband would go to jail for not paying. At one point they where trying to negotiate for at least $ 50 which was just wrong. In the end because we had our small children who were hungry, we needed to leave. Therefore we just paid the $ 90 and obtained a police report. I hope to do something against them legally. But in the meantime please do not be fooled by their false advertisement.
