When checking in found out that one night was going to cost more than expected. Seemed pricey compared to what we had been paying. The representative said try third-party. So standing there, I used my phone in my Expedia app and found that it was going to be cheaper, so I booked it for that night. But something went wrong and it registered for the following night. I tried to change the date and that's when it became a nightmare with the Holiday Inn express, and with Expedia. Was on the phone with Expedia for an hour did not want to cancel. Just wanted to correct the night. Nobody could help me. We had to spent that night at a different hotel, changed our vacation plans and had to come back to El Centro the next night because that’s what it showed we had to do. Was extremely difficult dealing with Expedia and with Holiday Inn express. Will not use either in the future.

The original room the gave us had a very bad smell. After inquiring about another room they gave us another one that had no soap, lotion, nor hand soap. The all of the dispensaries was empty and the front desk stated that they didn’t have a key to open to put more inside. The TV remote did not work at all. Had to get it changed and the other remote did not work either. great location exterior looks great, but bad choice

Not a great experience

Not a great experience. We checked in and were informed that the elevator was not working and our room was on the 2nd floor. I'm a senior 70-years-old and had to drag suitcases up and down the stairs! Also our room had a bad musty smell. Construction by the pool too - very loud grinding and drilling sounds on the metal fence by the pool.

Good Location, comfy beds, friendly staff

Great staff and location was good for work. Felt safe. Bed and pillows super comfy. Hot and cold shower dial was backwards took a minute to figure out. Carpet looked dirty and a couple of my towels had stains though they were clean. They have a 24 hr area to purchase snacks and Monday Wednesday 5pm-7pm they have express hour which was was hot dogs chips nachos chilli and beer wine soda. Nice little perk when youre too tired after work to figure out dinner.

Ran out of drinks for happy hour. Was not expecting free drinks and/or snacks but if you hand out a voucher and state that each guest gets two drinks, then you should probably be sure to have enough. Had the same brands for sale twenty feet away!
No worries, will always stay their when I am in El Centro for business.

Great choice, clean, comfy bed, good breakfast.

Upon our arrival the outside temperature was 118, but relief was quick as we entered the cool, clean, and inviting atmosphere of the entry lobby. The front desk host was already approaching as we walked up, and we were checked in with keys in hand promptly and curtiously, and were relaxing in our clean,well appointed room within minutes.

The included breakfast at most budget based hotel chains have degraded over time to a paultry selection of un-appitizing cardboard, but the quality and selection at this hotel was pleasingly good, coffe was good, the staff kept the food fresh and clean, and were pleasant and helpfull when asked for information or assisance.

Since the beginning, the check in lady was rude. Maybe she was already in a bad mood I'm not sure. But she asked for a security deposit that I wasn't aware of because I had done everything thru Expedia and she said that if I didn't give her a credit card then she couldn't check me in... Mind you, she said it in a demeaning manner like if i didnt have the money to pay up front I must be wasting her time type of energy.
Then, I get to the room, and it was a simple room when I had booked a suite with a seperate bedroom and it was just a regular room. Called the receptionist, asked why we got the room, she said
Idk what the description of the room you read, but this is a suite.. 😳 I then was furious because it was super got (114*) and this type of rudeness was just not doing it for me.
Then, we asked for towels, and they said we had to go downstairs for them, other hotels bring them up to you...
The pool was falling apart, has mold all over it, very dirty
The floors by the elevators were dirty as well
The balcony had broken patches. All in all, I won't be staying there ever again. Thank you

i wouldn't stay there again

the valet is supposed to be good for 24hrs, with the availability of going & coming numerous times. i was charged 3 times in one day and only refunded for 1 of those. The evening concierge could not give us a receipt at the end of our stay. he explained that the Hyatt place doesn't do total check out when you leave.

Holiday Express in El Centro, CA

All in all everything was fine. Breakfast was really good and the ladies working the breakfast buffet were very attentive and helpful. The front desk girl was super nice and helpful. The room was quiet, and clean and what we expected.
This hotel is new and construction is still going on. I think the project manager missed the “go live” date several times. In the breakfast room It has unfinished painting, and outlets, hanging wires. There was no TV. I’m sure they will get it done sooner than later.

A nice place to stay in El Centro, California

A very nice place for a two night stay. I have stayed here before and other locations in El Centro. Hotel is being updated and is looking refreshed. The shower floor was slippery and there was no mat for grip. Noticeable light from the hallway enters the room at night due to the door to floor gap. The breakfast was everything you could ask for in a large seating area. Many available electrical plugs-ins, but lacking in USB outlet lamps or at desk. The TV required rebooting and the VIZEO logo stays lit all the time on the cable box. Although I did book two matching rooms at the same time, the rates for the rooms were not the same. Odd.

I checked into this hotel around 10pm on a friday, mind you they had already processed the payment on my CC and then they reversed my payment and then tried charging my card which then declined because my bank put a hold on the transaction and then my bank tells me that the hotel proceeded to try and charge my card 15 times! 15 TIMES! Dont you think that once you charge it and it declines maybe 1-2 times that you would stop trying?! Then the receptionist calls me at 7am mind you we are all sleeping since we had just drove 7-8 hours to get there, and they called just to tell me if i have another form of payment. This place ruined my mood for my whole trip.
