Great place.I keeping coming back because the staff makes it feel like home. They are always there when i need them and they are always attentive to my needs. We had a crazy storm happening while i was there and the staff made sure we were safe and had everything we needed thank you!
I chose this place because it had an excellent rating on Expedia. I don't know how it got that. It is horribly run down. The key cards didn't work to access the building, the gym was less than desirable, there was mold in the shower. Very dinghy. Bed was comfortable enough, the mini fridge had a freezer, & and the staff was very nice though.
The experience was great. The entire hotel was very clean and the room was ready for us on arrival. When we needed help the staff was there quickly and very friendly. Thank You!

The cost met my budget, the staff was great, the room was spotless. I’ve stayed here many times and has always met my needs.
Old hotel, small rooms and parking lot, don't trust the photos. Our room was cleanish. Room was humid and the A/C barely kept it cool. Stains on the duvet cover, carpet was stained and frayed. Shower rusted, toilet was loose, took forever to get hot water in the shower. Mattress and pillows were uncomfortable. Sports bar was closed but Denny's was nice for breakfast. Staff was nice at the hotel and the Dennys.
Great Service, very clean place and rooms were cleaned daily, very quiet place to get some a good rest, shower head needs to be upgraded to new one, dennys restaraunt on location and a gas station 10 yrds away. Great Place, Great Prices, Great Service.

The room is clean but old. Staff is great. Lots of parking. Some safety concern in hallway. Overall, is good for a night or few nights.
This is a very clean hotel with great rooms, comfy beds and coffee in the room. I go here every chance I get when I go to El Centro.

The good: The staff had the air conditioning running when we got there so the room was nice and cool. It was very quiet, we could not hear anyone else. I felt like it was located in a safe neighborhood.
The “okay”: This is a budget hotel so I did not expect much. The shower had shampoo but no separate conditioner. Fortunately, I brought my own.
The bad: There was a small clump of hair left behind in the bathroom on the floor near the trash. But the bigger concern was the black mold looking stuff on the ceiling above the shower. It was extremely noticeable and disconcerting. Also, the paint on the walls was bubbling and cracking in multiple locations. Hopefully not all rooms have those issues.
