Nice place for the price. Very basic. The sheets and bathroom were clean and the owner very nice. It is 2 blocks from the border so very convenient! Lots of shops and restaurants in downtown calexico. My room had a mini fridge and a microwave and cable tv.
Run by courteous people and rooms are kept very clean.
Good, clean in front of our lady of Guadalupe church. . 60$ a night best deal in town
Cuartos sencillos, expecial para dormir y retirarte de mañana
как место для пересидки (то есть на время снятии машины или покупки Симки подходит) но ночевать я бы там не остался
I needed a cheap place to spend the night before crossing the border. This was it.
They have good prices the service is so so, the hotel is about 4 blocks away from the border makes for a good place to set up in order to go into Mexicali. I've used this hotel probably four times each time I left items in the bed of my truck and nothing was bothered.
