Hotel Overview

In Calexico at the U.S.-Mexico line, the Best Western John Jay Inn, Calexico, California, offers friendly service and clean, quiet rooms, an easy base for business or for crossing into Mexico, just a couple of miles from the border and well placed for the shops, energy projects, and farms of the Imperial Valley.

The setting suits a cross-border trip, a work stay, or a stop on the way to Baja, with the outlets and downtown close at hand. The team is happy to share tips on dining and recreation around town.

Calexico sits at the heart of the Imperial Valley desert, twin to Mexicali just across the international line, a gateway to Baja California and a hub for the irrigated farms and solar fields of the valley, with the sand dunes of the Algodones close by, the Salton Sea to the north, and the mountains of the desert ranges on the horizon. South of town the border fence runs straight across the desert toward the sierras.
