Hampton Inn El Centro

Hampton Inn El Centro

El Centro|3.39km from city center
I am staying in El Centro for one night once a month for the next few months and I am choosing hotels based on price and reviews - so trying to avoid staying in a place that is too dumpy. I am trying to stay in the top 6 Traveler Ranked on TripAdvisor. So, last time I stayed in the Holiday Inn because it was free with my points; it was a good stay. This time I chose Hampton Inn because it was about the same price as the others, a little less maybe, and was more highly rated (#3 of 18). It was better in most ways than the Holiday Inn (breakfast a little better, better located for my purposes and seemed a little cleaner esp. since there was no construction dust). The staff at both hotels were great. The beds in the Holiday Inn were more comfortable and the late check out time was a half an hour later which was helpful. But, for the same price I would likely choose the Hampton Inn again. For my next trip to El Centro in Sept., rates are crazy high apparently because it is the beginning of dove hunting season; the least expensive hotel is the Best Western which is ranked #6 out of 18; it is about $100 less for the night during that time. It gets mixed reviews, so we will see. If the Hampton Inn had a price even $50 a night more than the Best Western, I probably would have chosen the Hampton Inn. Anyway, the bottom line is, if the Hampton Inn is even close in price to the other top 6, it is a comfortable, clean, pleasant place to stay for a night or two.

Americas Best Value Inn and Suites El Centro

Rooms were clean and services was great as well. Price on a little high but compare to other hotels in the area is was low. Inn & Out across the street was a great bonus. Only bad thing was the pool was till close
Holiday Inn Express & Suites El Centro
4.3/543 Reviews
Oh good mother of god. Do not stay here. I had to because of work budget limitations. But you... you can avoid this freak show. Highlights: pulled up and the place is nestled next to broken down shanty houses, a sizable homeless encampment and bubbas drinking beers from the hood of their trucks. Pretty sure I was one of the few people here with all of their original teeth. The power turned off in my room snd left me in the dark. Front desk said it was because I was using the blowdryer and microwave at the same time. When I explained that I was laying on the bed reading, they insisted on their narrative of me using appliances and said if I promised to use only one at a time, I'd have electricity in the room. Then the trains started blaring as they rumbled somewhere nearby. Then trucks pulled in at 10:00pm to ”park” and stay the night. That took about 40 minutes with a back up beep signal. You're better off staying in your car on the side of a dark road. And I'm certain the management will chime in and try to excuse it all. Or say none of it happened. Or there was no record of my stay. Any minute now.... Find somewhere else.
Best Western El Centro Inn
4.2/5104 Reviews
The Manager (Alejandro) and staff are highly professional and respectful. The hotel and room are very clean. Great place to stay for a good night sleep. I would give this location a 5 rating were it not for the sauna not being serviceable and the majority of the fitness equipment needing to be replaced.
