The room was nice and the bed comnfortable but he motel is not in the best area. At one time it was a wonderful motel with a great restuarant. The restuarant now has a pool table and the menu is limited. We were concerned about security and will not stay there again. more

The Vacation Inn is only about a block north of the freeway on "business 8", so the location is just fine. The rooms are quite large and include a table and chairs to sit at. We were told on the phone that the pool was heated and fantastic, however it turned out that the heater in the pool went out... more

With #1 In El Centro rating, I had to give the Vacation Inn a try when I was in the area. As usual, Trip Advisor did not steer me wrong. Good room. Clean. Wi-Fi. A few places to eat nearby. For the price, it was unbeatable in a part of the country where a good hotel room can be difficult... more

Comfy faux-leather reclining chair too to watch cable TV. Quiet room. No hassles. Near Mexicali and Glamis Dunes ... more

By the time I realized that, I had already paid it (a function of having arrived very late and being very... more
