Travelodge by Wyndham El Centro

Good stay, plenty of room for 2 or more. Easy access to the I-8 freeway. Many eateries within walking distance (100-300 yards). Staff at front desk great. Easy parking.

I've stayed in several similar and nearby motels in El Centro and this one is in my opinion the best value for the price.

I live off grid in the surrounding desert so I go to a lot of the local hotels when it gets too hot. This one is my favorite so far. It was actually nicer than a resort I stayed at recently for 3 times the price. The only thing I didn’t like was that there is no sheer curtain so, you have blackout drapes or uncovered window, and there’s no bedside lamps so the lighting is rather harsh. I felt like I was in a cave for 3 days BUT since it was 115 degrees outside I was legit cool with it. Bed was a little too firm. Channels on TV were basic. Honestly though, this is a lot nicer than the reviews are. Trust me, this place is a lot nicer compared to the 8 others in this price range in the area that I’ve stayed at. The pool, the cleanliness, the privacy=worth it.

The room was very spacious and accomodated my family of 6 well. The only issues I had was the overall cleanliness and outdated feel. The room looked clean, but had a certain dingy smell to it. When unpacking our belongings, we began to notice small bugs, crickets and pincher bugs everywhere! In the sheets, carpet, and walls. We also had to go upto the front desk and ask for extra pillows, sheets and blankets because there weren't any extra in the room, although the suite accommodates upto 6 people.
