Disappointed

It use to be my favorite Hotel in Mexicali, but dvery year that goes by it’s getting worse to stay there, the last 3 years Policia Estaral agents gace been staying there, this last time they were drinking at the Hotel little park all night long, they were so loud I couldn’t even sleep, they were urinating between the cars, I called reception but nothing was done, I saw security go over there but these agents flashed their badges and the Security guard left, I am so disappointed, I had a reservation for 4 more nights, I cancelled and went somewhere else, I’m not voming back ever

Horrible time

Breakfast was not included had to pay more than what I would for food that was not great or appealing. The people were rude and didn’t seem like they wanted to help with the faces they had plastered. Rooms didn’t not have a bolt lock or anytime of good lock reinforcement.

Everything was good EXCEPT the lunch buffet. The waitresses didn't offer us water we had to get up and ask for it because it was accessible. The teriyaki grill was off and no body was there so asked someone if they could do it which they did but for someone who has never been there someone should've explained and approached us about what they offer. The food in the buffet was alright, no wonder why was empty. Maybe the breakfast is better I don't know.
