This was the closest hotel within walking distance to a family members house but I would pay 100 taxi ride next time rather than stay here again. There were more prostitutes and druggies all in one place than I've ever seen in one place even comparing to some of New York City streets. My room kept getting knocked on by... More

Sorry BW, but this was the Worst Western. Dirty, noisy, expected drug trafficking outside, phone didn't work, super noisy air conditioner. Downright scary. There is no way that we can offer any good words about this hotel. If we had known how bad it would turn out, we would have kept driving.

Unbelievably bad night. Please if someone checks in at 2 am put the group as far from other people as possible. There were plenty of other rooms available. Crazy that they weren't used. Woman in the next room yelled from the time she got in until we left (I think she is still yelling). There is no way that she... More

Our stay was pretty good. We picked the BW Courtesy Inn as it was the closest Best Western to the Tecate, Mexico border crossing. Locating the hotel is difficult if you take the 1st exit for Main Street heading east on I8. Be sure to wait and take the second exit. Directions in BW guide are a little confusing.

We stayed there 3 nights and the room was huge and clean. The staff was friendly and helpful. Appears they were fixing up the outside which could use some cleaning on the walkways. The breakfast was very good. They had a large assortment of food to choose from. We would stay there again. We did see one cockroach but anyone... More

I thought this Hotel was very good especially for the very low rate they charged me. I couldn't believe how nice the room was for the price. We had come to San Diego for my sweet brother's funeral who was a missionary in Tecate. We had to stay for 4 nights along with my husband and one of my brother's... More

I'm sorry to hear that someone gives this place a One Star for customer service (unfortunately, those things happen every now and then). I would actually give this place a 3-1/2 Star rating (comparing to the Hotel Del in Coronado). The rooms are attractive, comfortable and have been remodeled. They have ALL of the amenities that anyone would need to... More

This has to be the worst motel I have ever stayed at! The receptionist was completely useless and completely defaults on the fact that she's just a receptionist and has no authority to do anything. First, the prices are outrageous for a motel. I paid for a suite, assuming that it was going to be accommodating for 3 people and... More

I greatly apologize for your disatisfaction, Nina! We do have 2 types of suites at our property: A King size Jacuzzi Suite and 2 room Family Suites. Our 2 room Suites are the size of 2 rooms, I wonder if perhaps you didn't locate the second room. Our refund policies have changed since your stay, I do hope that you... More

I Have used this hotel for past 6 weeks and have found it to be generally consistent in good service and usually clean rooms. Bathroom clean as expected. Showers with strong water flow. Free Continental breakfast have a lot of variety.Very nice staff with excellent customer service! . Excellent service like this was standard.
