Great choice, clean, comfy bed, good breakfast.

Upon our arrival the outside temperature was 118, but relief was quick as we entered the cool, clean, and inviting atmosphere of the entry lobby. The front desk host was already approaching as we walked up, and we were checked in with keys in hand promptly and curtiously, and were relaxing in our clean,well appointed room within minutes. The included breakfast at most budget based hotel chains have degraded over time to a paultry selection of un-appitizing cardboard, but the quality and selection at this hotel was pleasingly good, coffe was good, the staff kept the food fresh and clean, and were pleasant and helpfull when asked for information or assisance.

Everything was fairly good except for the jacuzzi was not working properly it was cold and only so many jets were working. Also, I'm still waiting for my $150 deposit

Ran out of drinks for happy hour. Was not expecting free drinks and/or snacks but if you hand out a voucher and state that each guest gets two drinks, then you should probably be sure to have enough. Had the same brands for sale twenty feet away! No worries, will always stay their when I am in El Centro for business.

Not a great experience

Not a great experience. We checked in and were informed that the elevator was not working and our room was on the 2nd floor. I'm a senior 70-years-old and had to drag suitcases up and down the stairs! Also our room had a bad musty smell. Construction by the pool too - very loud grinding and drilling sounds on the metal fence by the pool.
