Top San Diego State University Imperial Valley Campus Hotel Reviews

Comfort Inn & Suites El Centro I - 8

10/10 Excellent

"staff was very friendly and helpful"

Best Western John Jay Inn

8/10 Good

"We have stayed at this hotel for many years. This year, they made noticeable cosmetic upgrades to the common areas and rooms including new carpets, paint, and luggage carts. We stayed in the suite but it was on the end and not the center suite near the elevator and it seemed smaller than the center suite that we usually stay in. I slept on my own airbed because the sofabed mattresses are very bad. My father said that they must not have changed the mattress in the main room because it seemed old and not comfortable. We did not eat at the breakfast daily except for grabbing some muffins, and bread. The coffee is served 24 hours a day and was actually pretty good this year. The ice machines were working despite the high heat. Overall, our stay was very good and I would return if the price were right."
