Very nice room, and very comfortable bed. I will definitely stay there next time I am in El Centro. And it's the little things...like USB port on updated bedside light, ironing board and iron in room, and the bed almost felt like memory foam, fridge and microwave nice touch. Very nice, thank you!

Staff is friendly, and price was good. Hotel is dated and needs a facelift. TV reception was fuzzy. Low water pressure in sink. Probably this is why it was a good price.

People above me were fighting. Police came 3 times and nothing changed. I did not even stay the night because of the fighting leaving at midnight driving 2 hours home. Owner/front desk did nothing and still charged me. Expedia has made it worse by not doing anything for me.

I stayed there for the last few days of Winter Training, and the air show. It met my need for a room to sleep and shower. It's walking distance to Wingstop, Burgers and Beer, and other food places. The room was clean, quiet and comfortable. The only thing I didn't like was the shower leaked in my room. I forgot to mention that when I checked out. Overall, it was great for the price!

Lacking Quality. Not worth it

I would not stay here again to save afew bucks not worth it. Old outdated tv static screen with like 6 channels. The mattress was that memory foam so I didn't like that at all. No coffee or anything in front office. Walls super thin and you can hear everything next door and the foot steps above you if your in the first floor.
