3 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 March 2013

We did not get a very warm welcome, as our tour leader had some issues with the desk clerk. The room was comfortable and clean but a long way from reception with heavy suitcases. Breakfast spoiled by plastic cutlery, which seems to be a common failing in the area.

Driving thru to LA stopped at this Clarion newly renovated rooms. Rugs and bathrooms new except the plumbing- toilet would not flush! outside in poor condition. When reported to Calista site manager she said "I am sorry" the end. We used the lobby toilet then proceed to continue our trip. The area is seedy and right off the freeway.

Hotel is OK for just passing through for business. Was woken early in the morning by a contractor on a forklift moving roofing tiles from one part of hotel to another. Hotel staff should have notified guests when checking into their establishment. When pulling out of lot I noticed my car's windshield had a 24" crack in it. Was already... More

I stayed here for just one night in October 2011 - it was supposed to be two. The place was dirty and substandard in every way. The beds were not made when I checked in. I couldn't even get the bathroom door to close. I asked to be relocated and was refused - they said the place was booked. If... More

Stayed one night-mid week for business with collegues. Surprisingly nice. It was very clean throughout (we all checked our beds for bedbugs too being a little paranoid...). The breakfast was fine, no cook to order omelettes, but it is not that level of hotel so don't expect that. Quiet hotel, near everything that little El Centro has to offer. I... More

I hate this hotel I have had to stay here four different times for business and every time they screw something up. This time they told me my company did not fax over the preauthorization for the credit card. No, your incompetent staff simply lost it like they did on two other occasions.
