El Centro or Calexico
I'm crossing at Mexicali West in about 3 weeks staying the night before in El Centro or Calexico. Any recommendations on a decent motel prefer
somewhere safe I'm going to have a truck load of stuff including an ATV. Thanks

I've only stayed here once and I was satisfied with everything...
Travelodge by Wyndham El Centro

Since I've given up all hope, I feel much better

El Centro is better. Best bet is to get a place you can back your truck right up to your door. Take anything super valuable into the motel. Put
other stuff in the cab.
The area around the Travel Lodge isn't very good. I'd pass on that.

Maybe consider Brawley
Brawley Inn on the north side of town, HWY 86 is pretty nice. More upscale is the Best Western Plus also in Brawley. Only 15 minutes further from the
border.
El Centro - also stay away from the Quality Inn - Hwy 8 & Imperial

El Centro.
Nicest hotels are at the mall. Hampton Inn is probably the least expensive, then Townplace by Marriott. Restaurants nearby. Quick on and off the
freeway to head out in the am.

I've stayed several times at the Holiday Inn Express in Calexico.
Well over $40 but clean, modern, friendly and blocks off the border. Hot breakfast included, Applebee's next door (10% discount), paved lighted
parking. I have an enclosed cargo trailer no problems.
Nice clean Walmart across the street. Many other stores in the same plaza.
Very handy for West or East crossings.

Of course you have an alarm system on your truck.
US Marines: providing enemies of America an opportunity to die for their country since 1775.
What I say before any important decision.
F*ck it.
