The worst hotel I’ve stayed at in a long long time. I stayed for two nights, the first night there was a security guard at 3 am on my floor corridor talking on his walkie talkie at FULL volume, for 40 minutes, which is 40 minutes too long. I called reception but their response was that they didn’t have any register of hotel personnel by the corridor at that time, AKA “you’re making this up”. After a while, I was finally able to fall asleep, only to be woken up again at 7 am due to cleaning personnel vacuuming the corridor. Let me say this again, 7 am, VACUUMING the corridor, oh you know, only the LOUDEST of cleaning procedures there can be. When I called reception, their response was that cleaning starts at 11 am, AKA “you’re making this up VOL. II”. And can I just add, this is on Christmas eve, a date when most hotels in Mexicali receive visitors, not an off season. How does this happen? Who allows for this to happen? One of the busiest seasons and it feels like Araiza’s guests are at the bottom of its priorities. On the second night, the guests next door started blasting music, drinking and overall being as loud as one possibly can. I get it, its Christmas, but maybe stop when it’s 2 am you know? So, after a while, I called reception and asked for them to intervene. They said they would send someone to check on this but 20 minutes passed and no one did. I called again and they said it was only TV noise and there’s nothing prohibiting a guest of watching TV on their room. It was NOT TV noise, I recorded how loud it was, went to the reception and showed them. They had 2 security guards come up with me. The noise from these guests could be heard from the elevator. The security guards knocked on their door and asked them to keep it down and lower their music. This whole ordeal took around 30 minutes. Some time passed and then, again, they blasted music and started being impossibly loud. I had to call reception and ask for security guards for the third time. All the while, I felt as if I was inconveniencing hotel personnel with this, as if no one ever complains and this is just how things are until I showed up and started complaining. Seriously, TERRIBLE service, absolute disappointment given that this is one of the top hotels in the area. I’m never putting a foot in here again, and you shouldn’t either.
Very Good
