Loved the rooms and the complementary breakfast. Location is great, everything is close by.
Excellent location, nice rooms and first class service.
It was perfect. It was our first time staying in Mexicali and the hotel staff was great. The surrounding areas were very clean and easy to walk to. The local businesses were very welcoming and you see security throughout the area. Couldn’t have asked for more. I highly recommend this hotel for anyone unfamiliar with the area.
Clean and confy hotel, very good AC despite the heat wave reaching 52° Celsius degrees, several room types and breakfast included if you book it.
This is one of the best HIE i have stayed in. The building seemed new and clean and attended right from the entry. The staff was available, ready - and qualified - to help. The room was clean, easy to adjust temp, useful amenities and clean bright bathroom/shower. The only thin missing is a refrigerator - something that is essential in a city where you cant consume the water or ice confidently. Breakfast was included and well prepared, presented and attended. It was a great relief this trip to not have to find breakfast place because the in house food was sub par. Good job and loved the pancake maker. Everyone loves something like that - or a waffle maker. Check out was a breeze and housekeeping knocked on our door just once to see if we needed anything. All good, great stay. I counted one safety violation that was quickly taken care of. I used to work for Marriot so I am probably more qualified to in my assessment. But this was a thumbs up experience.
I never thought I would say the Holiday Inn was excellent. EVERYTHING is clean. Our room was not only spotless but smelled great . It gave a Luxury vibe. Breakfast is also delicious. I would definitely come back and highly recommend this Hotel.
Staff was extremely helpful and friendly! It was especially awesome that the check-in staff was bilingual since we don't speak Spanish at all. The breakfast was amazing!! Never stayed in a hotel that serves Chilaquiles and they were delicious too!
The people at the front desk are the very best!! They are super helpful every time. Kudos to Alexandra, Jorge, Alan, Azucena, Rogelio, Roxana, Aylin and also the reservation team.

Curated spots travelers usually pair with a stay in Baja California. Distances are rough real-world times, not straight-line.
