I have been staying at the vacation inn for a couple of years and have always been treated like family. Recently the inn underwent renovation and the results spell comfort, cleanliness, and as always a friendly environment. The staff always puts the needs of the customer first and is always helpful. This establishment leaves the traveler feeling at home and... More

We were in El Centro the Tuesday before Thanksgiving and stayed at the Vacation Inn. The rooms are clean, the staff is polite and they were able to accommodate us with a small (13lb) dog. There were a lot of construction workers staying at the hotel so pick-up trucks were starting at 4:30 am with men going to work. Even... More

Rooms are large and clean. The price of the room comes with two breakfasts, two alcoholic drinks, and free wifi. I can't comment on the pool because it was closed or the breakfast because I got up too late. Overall, I would state here again - I just booked my room for this weekend

On a long road trip to California this was an excellent stop for a good nights rest. We made last minute reservations at about 9pm on the drive in and at 1am the next morning we were checking in. For the price we got a great room right off the I-8. We slept in and missed the breakfast so we... More

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.

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
