Recurring drawbacks include occasional noise from AC or neighboring areas, sporadic housekeeping or maintenance issues such as TV problems or bathroom caulking, and mixed breakfast execution with some items feeling microwaved or cleared before the posted end time. Some guests also noted a cold pool and that amenities like the gym or pool were not clearly highlighted at check in. Overall, travelers can expect reliable comfort and convenience here.

Staff at check in was borderline rude and took way too long for both check in and checkout. Bathroom had water puddles and caulking coming off in places. Nonfunctional ice machine. Loud neighbor in floor above. Soda vending machine on floor only accepts cash forcing guests to buy from lobby store where prices are higher

Comfortable stay for a week on business in El Centro. Staff were all very friendly & helpful. The breakfast buffet was clean & well stocked. Would be good to have a low fat milk option though . Hotel room was fine. Workout room has good updated equipment. It, along with entire hotel, was very clean. Would love a bit more hot water though. Convenient to restaurants, the mall & several shops within walking distance across the parking lot. I-8 is an easy, right-there on & off as well.

Have stayed here a few times. Close to freeway entry/exit. Always very clean and updated. Price competitive, good, quality breakfast selections, gym and pool are better than some 5star hotels I've stayed. Staff is VERY professional,easy going and helpful. Reasons why I choose this particular Hampton Inn when I'm in El Centro.

The hot breakfast could be more like it was cooked in back rather than packaged and microwaved. I didn’t realize there was a pool and gym on site until the second day when I took a walk. Those are great selling points! You should have the staff point them out. It is super great that you allow pets!!!! That is the reason I chose you against the cheaper rooms across the highway! Our stay was great, the room was comfy, the staff was lovely, I told them we would stay again. Thanks Hampton! Oh! And the shopping center is right next door, with great food selections!!!

We stayed at the Hampton Inn El Centro while visiting family and really enjoyed our stay here. The hotel is clean and staff were friendly. Breakfast was good and during our stay in our room we hardly noticed other guests occupying the other rooms on the same floor. I would definitely recommend this hotel for anyone staying in El Centro.

Only complaint: Our 4th floor room faced east which is fine except the rrom curtains only close half way and therefore, the sun comes thru around 5:45am. We weren't able to sleep beyond that time. Beware, unless you need to be up at that time😌

They rushed to pack up breakfast the first day we were there. Granted, we got to the breakfast area at 9:40 AM but most of the food was gone and the staff refused to make more. It was partially our fault for getting there so late but they advertise breakfast served until 10:00 AM. They should honor that pledge.

Room was average, I was informed that we can pick up breakfast to go in the morning, found out that is Not Saturdays until 6 or 7 am, way after we have to check out. Tv was not working. Front office couldn't give me a print receipt, that i need for bussines expenses. I stay in other one before, close to the Hampton and our stay was better.
