Great time
Aside from the A/C in the room not working at full-capacity—the stay was fantastic. The room was great, the service was fantastic, safe, secure. Easy to get around Mexicali and location is very central.
Roman was a great bellhop, he lived in New Jersey for a while and his english was perfect.

Our go to in Mexicali
Our stay at Araiza was good, despite a smell in the room that came from the drains and some dust in the room the hotels bar and restaurant made up for it. The breakfast buffet had a lot of variety and was delicious. The bar tender suggested a few drinks that we ended up loving so gets some points on our stay. Overall we enjoyed our stay, we thought the bed was very comfortable, we enjoyed and the hotel location is very convenient.

Make sure you have your reservation and what you pay for. I have never experienced the low experience of the individual getting my reservation. I knew I had paid for extras and according to her the items were not listed.

Comfortable hotel near the border
Comfortable rooms and professional staff. Restaurant buffet was reasonably priced and had a nice dinner selection. The suite was worth the modest difference in price, with a sitting area and second TV. Didn't use the pool, but the grounds were nice.
