We had to stay in El Centro for a business trip. The value for the money paid for the room was definitely worth it. We enjoyed our stay. Great water pressure for a hot shower and a quiet air conditioner was appreciated.
The staff was very friendly and helpful

Stayed here for a couple days while I was traveling for work. The owner was super kind and upgraded our room. Free of charge would definitely recommend staying here.

The room didn't have any soap just a small bag of shampoo, the shower seemed a bit dirty on the walls, there were only 2 towels for 2 people. I liked the bed it was sturdy, nice firm, soft just not too soft. It was a good stay.

Not very clean, kinda skanky. I'd say the emphasis is on "budget". But, check in was quick, easy, and polite, the area was quiet, the bed was firm and seemed pretty clean. OK for a quick overnight before or after crossing the border, but I will probably look elsewhere next time.

STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE!!! Very dirty rooms! They dont let you have any guests. They said no smoking but the bedsheets had cigarette burns already??? Also, THEY HAD ROACHES IN THE ROOM. The employees make alot of noise outside. Youre able to hear People through the walls. Nothing good about this place! The bed was very hard too. People please stay away from this place!
