Stayed one night for business as I had a meeting in Mexico the following morning, and this hotel seemed like a better alternative than staying in the not so nice areas of Mexico near the border. (Cancun it is not.) Standard, basic hotel; the look, the feel, the breakfast, but acceptable for a quick one night stay. The rooms felt... More

Warm and friendly staff, hot breakfast, free newspaper, and very clean rooms! My room and bathroom were cleaner than some of the higher end hotel rooms I have stayed in! Will definitely stay here again the next time I am in town for business.

I'm only in Calexico because I have to be, there is no other reason believe me. I'm on the road too much and when I find myself in unfamiliar cities I do what most other business travelers do use fall back hotels, well such and such was good in Lincoln Neb. A couple weeks ago how bad can it be... More

Nice room very clean, breakfast isn't that great unless your interested in cereal or banana. Front desk staff was a little overly friendly and offered me almost anything I needed. Wink wink.. It's a great room for a border town.

The hotel location is very close to the Mexican boarder, about 2mils. There is an Applebee's restaurant across the parking lot and a big Wal-Mart very close by. The Hotel staff is very friendly and will do all they can to help. Fresh apples and oranges are free in the lobby. The Hotel is close to 10 years old and... More

The staff is very helpful. Going out of the way to help. Great location, Close to all eating places. Just be careful as the hotel is not exclusively non smoking and make sure you book your room accordingly

Great place, nothing special but a nice stay for a fair price. Applebees next door with decent food, far enough from the hustle bustle so that you won't be bothered. I would definately stay here again.

OK, I haven't stayed at every hotel in Calexico, but I have stayed at the HI Express 3 or 4 times in the last 10 years. The hotel is about 3 miles north of the border off Highway 111 (on a frontage road). No highway noise and a very quiet location. In fact, I've never heard much noise inside the... More

It's my fault, I did not clarify that it was not a Non-Smoking facility. I told reservations and the front desk at check in that non-smoking was the most important issue. Both uinderstood. I was given a room on the 3rd Floor - nice room. I checked-in before my meeting in the afternoon and was assured it was "non-smoking" so... More

I understand the discomfort this caused you. I assure you the feedback of our hotel will be reviewed and most certainly forwarded to the appropriate departments. Again, I... More
