Top El Centro Hotel Reviews

Crown Motel

8/10 Good

"The Crown is clean and comfortable for my husband and I and our two small pups. Appreciate the small refrigerator. Could have used a couple cups for the bathroom. Staff very nice. "

Days Inn by Wyndham El Centro

4/10 Poor

"When we checked into our room, the remote for our TV was missing. The best part of our experience, they were in the process of replacing the TVs so we got a new one. Overall the property is lacking maintenance. The worst part was the room was not clean, especially the floor. After taking a shower, I had to wash my feet again before putting my socks on. "

Comfort Inn & Suites El Centro I - 8

6/10 Okay

"Good front desk staff but how shocked was I to discover a $100 additional charge for my dogs. I did not see that when booking and would encourage you to find a way to link the fact that one searches for pet friendly locations and then show them the fees. And no one mentions the spring winds that made walking outside the doors of this hotel possible. As a person over 80 years of age, it would have been helpful to know the conditions that might affect older persons. The rest of the location was extremely ordinary for no further information on this now."
