From the moment you arrive, staff greets you warmly, takes care of valet parking, and helps with your luggage. Check-in was quick and easy, and the staff was always friendly and helpful. During the day, you can choose from three different restaurants. I didn't get a chance to try them all, but I did have breakfast. The food was okay, but the breakfast area is small with limited capacity. I ended up waiting about 40 minutes in the lobby before being seated. That was the only downside. In the evening, I invited some relatives, and we went to the bar. It's small and intimate, and that night they had a gentleman playing the piano. He even played a few of my favorite Luis Miguel songs, which created such an enjoyable atmosphere. Staff at the bar were attentive and made the experience even better. As for the room, it was spotless and very comfortable. Housekeeping did an excellent job, and anytime I needed something, staff responded right away. I've stayed at several hotels in Mexicali, and this one is by far my favorite when visiting family. I definitely look forward to returning!

This last visit, my towels and sheets didn't look clean. Actually, the hand towel was dirty. The bar wasn't open. The place seemed very run down. One elevator wasn't working, some of the walls were torn up. I had to go back down to the person that checked me in because my key did not work the first time. I hope they turn things around again or I may have to start looking for somewhere else to stay.

The rooms were nice, well designed space, the best features: Microwave, refrigerator, and the soap and conditioner pumps in the shower(so you don't have to ask for five bottles every time you shower), lastly, the availability of baby cribs. The BEST service and what really made this Hotel stay the best was the breakfast. The availability of American foods like, French toast, pancakes, waffles, cereals, pastries, breads, etc was nice but having the Mexican breakfast buffet as well was amazing, chilaquiles, menudo, beans, eggs, etc. this was by far the best breakfast we've had at a hotel. The other half of the star, was the staff, constantly cleaning and taking away dirty plates. My family enjoyed the pool, but noticed there was other services also available, like a gym, laundry room, print center, They also have a 24/7 little store with snacks for purchase. The reception desk was also helpful. (This is where you get your towels for the pool). Next, the location of this hotel, was perfect. It's in a very nice Plaza, with high end restaurants and shops, and for some last night snacks (a 7/11 store). There is parking right in front of the hotel or underground. Lastly, to my embarrassment, about 30 mins after checking out, I realized I had forgotten an item in the room, I called the hotel to explain, and by the time I returned to the hotel, they had nicely packaged up the item and it was waiting for me at the front desk. The staff, the amenities, the food, and the rooms, were perfect. If all hotels are alike Fairfield Mexicali, Marriott has gained a loyal customer.

My parents often mentioned how popular it was in the '80s and '90s when celebrities stayed here during their concerts, so I booked mainly out of nostalgia. The room itself was clean, but the customer service was disappointing. Staff seemed uninterested in their jobs, and there was no sense of warmth or hospitality. The biggest issue came on my last night. I hadn't seen my aunt in 20 years, and she stopped by around 8 pm to bring me dinner and say goodbye before my departure the next morning. Security denied her entry. I explained she was only visiting for an hour, but they sent me to the lobby to speak with the front desk. To my surprise, the front desk insisted I pay an extra fee as if she were staying overnight. This made no sense at all and left me feeling uncomfortable and unwelcome. Because of this experience, I won't be staying here again. It's unfortunate, since the hotel carries so much history, but the lack of hospitality overshadowed everything else.

Upon arrival, an additional FORTY DOLLARS/ 800 pesos was demanded for my acommpanying 11 lb dog! The paperwork asserts this is supposedly for "fumigation". The maid who woke me up today by opening my door, because she wasn't informed I was staying over (ill), 4 hours after I re-booked with the office did not have the necessary apparatus for "fumigation". This place is shamelessly gouging & poorly organized. 2 stars because Nadia at the front desk is a competent & kind young lady. I ordered roomservice because I wasn't well enough to go out, & it was God-awful. A pesto pizza with no pesto, a crust like a wet tortilla & horribly salty. I'll never darken these doors again.

I had one reservation with four rooms. Due to international calling, I emailed in advance to have the rate applied. Yolanda Carbajal Munoz indicated she applied the rate. However, she only applied it to one room and I was charged the full rate for the additional 3 rooms. Front desk: Checking in was unpleasant. They didn't know how to direct us to where our rooms were. They didn't inform us that the elevator was not working. (I had my mom with cancer that cannot climb stairs and my disabled brother). There was a lack of empathy and problem solving skills, and poor customer service. When checking out I asked for a folio of the rooms and identified the error in applying the group discount and the front desk was un resourceful and could not identify a general manager or provide a solution. Rooms: I was in a single executive room and there were dead cockroaches in the bathroom, the toilet wasn't clean and had skid marks, and there were old toilets and showers outside my window, along with workers walking by.
