Great accommodations. Quiet, well-kept, clean, pleasant staff that bends over backwards to assure a nice stay. However, they need to fire the chef! After being thoroughly disappointed with my room service breakfast, I thought I would order for dinner a hamburger and fries. I mean who can screw that up? They did.

I visit Tijuana often (1-2 times per month) and have stayed at a few different location. Hacienda Del Rio was by far the best experience. I have stayed at this hotel 5 times and I have never had a complaint.

The restaurant is fantastic for breakfast/lunch but I would recommend venturing out to the many top-notch restaurants in the area for dinner.

The location is perfect, a quick cab to Revolucion and walking distance to pretty much anything you would need. For some good Mexican beer at night, ask the front desk how to walk (only 3 minute walk) to the bar called Pockets. This is a biliards bar and you can order your own mini tap from them. Basically you pour your own beer out of a 2 liter tube that is ice cold, a very exciting experience for a beer lover.

The hotel amenities were perfect. I often visit this hotel on business trips and I am constantly needed an Internet connection. They do not have wireless (as of last time I was there) but they have a business center that usually has a computer open. The rooms are spacious and comfortable. The staff is amazing and I hope I get to go see them again soon. People who do not speak Spanish can get by easily but it always helps if you know a little Espanol. There is a pool which looks fine but I have not used it. The bar is nice but I recommend venturing out to the local bars (ask the front desk where to go). For the price you pay, this is the best value in Tijuana.

While on business at a local cancer clinic, the Doctor booked me here for my 4 day stay. I was pleasantly surprised by this hotel. Plenty of bottled water along the walkways, good service and clean rooms.
I was disappointed that the TV reception was all cable with NO over the air San Diego stations so the English speaking station were limited to 2.
The hotel restaurant is okay for breakfast, but look elsewhere for your dinner plans.

We spend one night at the Hacienda in January 2008. The hotel is in a Spanish/colonial style, it has a big internal patio and two floors of rooms overlooking the patio, where you can park your car. I am not a big fan of high rises, so I liked the fact that the hotel runs on two floors only. There is also a swimming pool, which was so and so in January (but it was cold too, so it wasn't in use). In the patio there is lush vegetation, and the staff was friendly.

THe rooms were decorated in the 70s, in white and pink, they were pretty clean, maybe they could use some renovation, but overall the linens and the bed were fine, so were the towels, and the room was HUGE, which we liked!! It also had cable TV and phone.

The hotel has a laid back feel, if you expect a modern complex this is not the place for you, but if you want a comfortable, reasonably priced, clean hotel, with a local feel, this is a good option. Also, we needed to use the internet, the hotel didn't have it, but across the street there is a big hotel, where you can use their business center for a charge.

In the area, I recommend dining at La Querencia, very good Med-Mex food!!
