Hotel Rio Rita is a nice little hotel on Ave Revolucion. I stay here every time I come to Tijuana. It's about 10-15 minutes from San Ysidro and sits in the heart of Tijuana's tourist district, while being within walking distance of Zona Norte and Zona Centro. If you're looking for a safe and clean hotel near the border, this is your place!
