Hotel berhampiran Rite Aid, Brawley

Stayed at Americas Best Value Inn for 1 night. Was hesitant to stay due to reading former reviews. Enjoyed my overall stay. Staff was nice enough to allow me to switch rooms because the initial room was a little too dark for me. My new room had an issue with the light bulb. No maintenance personnel was on site but the receptionist had one of the employees husband take care of the issue. My room was clean, bed was comfortable. The Inn provides free breakfast which I think was sufficient for the price I paid. There is a few convenience stores and El Sol Market in walking distance. El Sol Market has a restaurant inside which has good Mexican food. I went to the Date shake (Mediterranean market) down the street and got some really good flavored olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Yum! Would stay at Americas Best Value Inn again when visiting the area.

衞生略差，廁所一股去不掉的汗臭。早餐有點崴，別期望太高。

What a delightful surprise when we were looking for a hotel in this new area for us. We were delighted with the cleanliness, welcoming front desk people, and the room!! We had a King-Size Bed which was wonderful and even the pillow selection was perfect for my husband and me (not always the case on the road) - as he likes firm and I like soft!! There was even a coffee bar in the room with an under-counter refrigerator that was very handy for our personal snacks/sodas. The bathroom is spacious with a long counter so I was able to spread out my make-up/hair prep products and my husband still had room to shave and brush teeth. Very practical and light and bright. The location is perfect as it is visible from I-8 but not noisy at all. It is so handy to get back on freeway going in either direction. We stayed long enough to enjoy 3 mornings of the complimentary breakfast bar which is delicious and waaaay more than just pastries: We had bacon one morning with eggs, sausages and cheese omelets another morning, potato selections, there is hot oatmeal or instant plus cold cereals and fruit, bagels, muffins and the HIE ”famous” cinnamon rolls. The coffee bar is well stocked as is the juice bar. I'm not naming all the dishes but just to give you an idea of all there is to choose from! The hotel says they are undergoing a renovation, but we were not interrupted with any noise and from what we could see it was beautifully done. The business area has multiple computers and the breakfast room turns into a great meeting place and lounge area through the day. The pool area in back is well laid out and very spacious so no one has to feel crowded. There is also a hot tub. We didn't utilize either but were able to look down at the pool and BBQ area and see other guests enjoying the facilities. We were fortunate enough to meet the General Manager, Calista Fulton, who was delightful. She was very professional and gracious with our compliments and appreciation for her hotel and it is easy to see that her staff respects yet likes her as it is just a smooth-running and welcoming hotel. We will go back to this hotel whenever we are in the area again.

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.

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.
