What guests think

At Real Inn Mexicali, recent reviews highlight an active renovation with dust, construction noise, and recurring elevator problems that affect check-in flow and movement around the property, shaping much of the current guest experience.

Cleanliness feedback is mixed, ranging from very clean rooms to reports of dirty linens, odors, and occasional pest or mold issues. Rooms are generally spacious but dated, with recurring AC or heating troubles, plumbing defects, thin windows that let in street or train noise, and fewer in-room amenities than expected (for example, no fridge or microwave in many stays). While the location is central and convenient, service is inconsistent: many mention friendly, helpful staff, while others describe slow responses, unfriendly front desks, and reservation or check-in setbacks. Overall, expect a convenient base with noticeable renovation trade-offs.

The hotel is currently under construction in the main lobby so that is something that should be disclosed. The front desk was helpful and accommodating after we needed to change from the original room to something quieter.

It was fine. The hotel itself is in good shape and they were embarking on remodeling or something. There was a lot of drilling and jackhammering during breakfast. It was totally fine. No complaints. But the hotel could make some minor improvements and make it so much better. The hotel is sterile, it lacks artwork and decor. Rooms also very sterile and need some art or something . Bathrooms should have wash clothes; shampoo conditioner etc. The pool was stunning. Beautiful. Didn't use as it was too cold, but I'm sure it will be great in the summers in Mexicali. Parking was nice and convenient. Overall we were pleased.

Convenient parking. Friendly staff. Dirty sheets (yellow stain). Large Crack in bathroom sink. Could hear Traffic noise all night in our 3rd floor room, making it Difficult to sleep. Train noise during the night. Including HORN. Noise from outside sounded like there was not even a window or that our window was open. Could feel air coming in the edge of the window. (needs sealed) Weak coffee... served from a separate kiosk, not in the Dining Room... no refills. The dirty sheets will keep us from staying at this hotel on future visits.

⭐️⭐️⭐️ 3 out of 5 stars I gave Real Inn 3 stars mainly because of the air conditioning issue on the lower floors. No matter how low you set the temperature, the rooms just don’t seem to cool down properly. It gets uncomfortably warm, especially at night. It’s frustrating because you expect consistent comfort throughout the hotel, but the lower levels definitely need better air conditioning maintenance or upgrades. That said, the staff is good and helpful.

Stayed on the fifth floor and noticed that the window sounded like it was open went to check and it wasn’t fully shut. The latch was missing three screws, so if you put a little pressure on it the window would pop open, which did scare my dad. I informed front desk and they notified maintenance. Not sure if issue was resolved because we checked out.

The rooms need a little remodel or update. The beds were supposed to be queen size but seemed a little smaller than that. The rooms also need some additional lighting.

Dear Expedia Customer Service I am writing to share my disappointment with my recent reservation experience at Real Inn in Mexicali, booked through Expedia for early November. I had reserved this room well in advance, but upon arrival, the property staff informed me that they were fully booked and my reservation could not be honored. This left my family and me in a very inconvenient and frustrating situation, as we had to look for alternative accommodations late at night. I hope the property and Expedia improve communication and reservation management to prevent this from happening to other guests.

This hotel has the most rude personnel. first the receptionist was not very friendly she was rude did not provide any instructions where to park or how to get to the room. Second when we walked in the room it had an awful smell, and the AC Did not work I called various times to have someone check it they kept on saying they would send someone to do so took over an hour and they never went to check the AC until I decided to call for the 3th time and thats when they decided to move me to another room horrible experience I dont recommend this place this will be my first and last that I stay here

I had a terrible experience today at real inn. We were in town for a funeral and check in time was at 3pm we tried to check in at 3:30 and no rooms were ready. We finally got into our room around 4pm ( the time the funeral was supposed to start) we changed and headed out. We stayed on the 6 floor, leaving the elevators were both broken. We had to take the stairs down to the lobby. The next day for checkout supposedly at 12 and one of the employees was knocking on our door at 9 am asking if we were still sleeping?? Fourtunely we were on our way out and not asleep. So on our way out the same employee waved us down and told us to come back to the room. Which we did. He told us that one of the towels was really dirty. Which it was bc we used it to wipe our feet bc the floors we're disgustingly dirty that our feet were black. He told us the hotel was gonna charge us so much for this towel that it couldn't be washed and itd be better to pay him. We were late for the funeral so we didn't even think about it and gave him the pesos I had in my pocket. Requesting refund
