I've stayed at Ticuan for years. It WAS the nicest most affordable option In TJ. The value of what you received for what you paid was unmatched in the area. Unfortunately this isn't the case anymore. It's really gone downhill, especially, maintenance-wise. It's still a great location, which was always the draw for me. There are plenty of options downtown for food, nightlife, etc and it's all safe and walkable. But broken, dirty, conditions on last stay in a suite may have just made it my last one there. The last two times I've stayed the jacuzzi/tub has been broken and leaking. This time with the unclean toilets, tables, dirty carpet and furniture is just too much too bear. Pueblo Amigo, Quartz, Lucerna are all better options. Ticuan needs a complete overhaul ASAP.
