I reserved 4 rooms about 5 months before the Baja 1000. About 2 months before the race after all other hotel rooms were sold out they started sending messages through Expedia in spanish that they did not have rooms available for the dates I requested. I'd bet they then rented those rooms for double or triple or to friends.
The great news is Expedia made it right. Thanks Expedia!

It's not revealed in the Travelocity property description that this is a hotel that rents rooms by the hour. The location is OK, but the smell of sewer all night was horrible. The bed wasn't the worst I've slept on, but close. The water pressure in the shower was very low and difficult to regulate hot/cold. No place to hang clothes. Positives? The room appeared to be clean except for the stains on the pillow cases. Noise was minimal.

I have stayed at this hotel several times with a guest. The rooms are fair for the price. But the rooms dont have A/C which is slightly uncomfortable on hot days.

Definitely not wheelchair user friendly. The staff was trying their best to help us, and they had no first floor availability - I had requested that in my reservation and mentioned the wheelchair. They did all sort of tricks to find a room for us on first floor (they made one available last minute), since I wasn't able to cancel. I had to go somewhere else try to find something for myself (paid twice) and my driver had to stay there just not to loose the money. Of course, our room was a last minute thing and needed cleaning.

This hotel was OOOKKKK! If you're just looking for a one night stay. I personally would not stay here again. The rooms were freezing cold and they had no portable heaters, we even asked to pay for one. They were nice enough and send us 2 warm blankets ,but that still was not enough. The room seemed clean overall. I did spot the bathroom and wash area had a bit of mold building up so I did not want anything to do with that. Wifi sucks and they literally have like 6 tv channels to watch. In the night time it gets pretty loud, I feel they should have a rule for that because you could hear all the people walking up or going down the stairs being super loud like at 11 PM (I have a toddler, that's late in my book LOL) Also when we checked in they told us cars were not allowed to park inside, we had to park on their property across the street ,but I did notice cars stayed there overnight so I didn't find that fair. It was a cheap stay so you get what you pay.

The hotel had overbooked so we had to stay elsewhere. It was a sister hotel from the same owner I guess.
The manager was really polite and apologized for the inconvenience
