This city has undergone some major and much deserved renovation and restoration in the last few…read moreyears. Its border crossing (though busy), is not as busy as the border I grew up experiencing living in San Diego. It has however, (and understandably) gotten much busier with more barriers/delays, etc. over time. It's a good idea to pay attention to the border wait times to plan the best time to return into the states. You will have to go through a checkpoint when entering into and returning from Mexico. Bags are inspected each way so if you have to question an item you're considering bringing in or out, it's likely best to leave it at home. Or you risk confiscation. Surprisingly, I did not too many refugees on my recent visit. This city is relaxed and the people are warm and welcoming. The locals/natives (Mexican and/or Chinese descent) lovingly are referred to as "Cachanillas". This a type of plant, Pluchea sericea native to Mexicali. Blending two beautiful cultures into one that makes La Chinesca so special and unique. This area is historically known for having the largest Chinese community in Mexico. There are hidden underground establishments and tunnels built by the early Chinese immigrants. I am told the underground construction was a way for the Chinese to escape the harsh heat. Which at its hottest, reached a scorching 125 degrees Fahrenheit in 1995. These tunnels have been re-opened and there are affordable tours available taking you as far and as safely as possible through an underground labyrinth where people would live and congregate. They even show you some old opium/gambling areas and more. I would highly recommend coming and respectfully embracing all the city has to offer. About a decade ago, I referred to La Chinesca as somewhat stuck in time. However, they're mixing old with new, embracing change, all while honoring and preserving deeply rooted traditions. This city also offers plenty of dining options as well and plenty sightseeing and shopping in a day.

Nice hotel from the entrance. "Araiza Mexicali". From other hotels I seen and this being my first…read morevisit here in Mexico. This is a great hotel to stay at. It is a modern hotel and more modern than many I seen. They have 2 very nice restaurants. Once which is open at 6am for breakfast The breakfast is a winner. Buffet style of different dishes. But I enjoy the omelet station that I get what I want freshly made. Dinners are nicely priced and very tasty in both restaurants A very nice gym that is set up for a good number of people. Pool area is a winner. Pool water temp so nice and relaxing. Though here on business and since had no time to do much. This hotel gave me enough to do to whine down. The people are so nice and very friendly. The decor is kinda outdated but it's cleanness makes up for the fashion deprive building. I will be back in Mexicali several more times in 2015 and this is my hotel of choice. Thanks for a great week

Valentines special: $150 for a suite, chocolates, champagne, 2 breakfast buffet passes and later check out. There are 2 pools-one heated, gym, game room with pool tables a lobby bar with live entertainment and two great restaurants attached to it. It was great here.

There's no snacks in the vending machines on the hotel floor. The decor was very sad. Scratches gouged beat up. Floor tiles cracked and chipped and dirty grout. For the price paid I was expecting something better than a Motel 6 ambiance and customer service, which was ok. However, doesn't compare to other casino hotels Ive stayed. The best thing I can say it was close to the boarder and public transit was cheap and easy but didn't run on schedule. Happy to have my dental and ophthalmology services completed with this hotel being the closest. As for amenities the food at the sidewinder was good however, my prime rib and baked potato was cold. I did Send it back and they brought me the order back piping hot. The Café food was delicious. Unfortunately at the time I could only have soup. Which the cream of mushroom was fantastic! The slot machines were average, maybe if I had won a jackpot my rating would be higher. I didn't win big but won enough to pay for my meals and pathetic hotel.

For our weekly breakfast get together we decided to try somewhere different. We heard (and it's…read moreprobably common knowledge) casino food is a little more affordable than most places, so we headed over to The Cove at Paradise Casino. The food plates online looked decent enough! The dining area vibe was open and inviting. I ordered The Fort Yuma Big Breakfast and something to bring home for the fam off the under $5 menu. I ended up boxing up part of my main pick! The plate was had more food than I originally thought; more tastier, more enjoyable as well Our server Ramona was quick to refill our coffees and easy to have conversations with! I also renewed my HERO Rewards card for rewards, discounts and special offers! Regardless of casino usage, at The Cove's breakfast "the customer always wins!"
