    ALWAYS th e best hotel experiences when I come to Glamis I swear...Idk what it is about the desert because you would think - out in the middle of nowhere, everyone is probably doing it big in an RV or camping in a tent...why put any effort into a hotel on the side of the road....but that is where you are wrong. For some reason, when I spend big money out here for a staycation or even when going to some where say LA or Palm Springs or anything for that matter, they charge an excessive amount and you're lucky if you get a decent fridge that does not have a bunch of drinks / snacks inside that wanna charge you 10-20$ if you take one, or let alone a place that has a MICROWAVE...that is unheard of omg...let alone a coffee maker or toaster or beauty mirror...just some things are hard to find I am telling you This place checked ALL of the boxes, boom boom boom. You want it? They got it. Not to mention, it felt like an apartment home. So much space. Thee biggest hotel room I have ever stayed in. We had our own private entrance area. They give you breakfast burritos complimentary in the a.m. - so freaking good and it comes in a brown paper bag with a muffin/baked good plus fruit. The parking lot was plenty and huge right in front of which ever room you are staying in. The front desk is ON IT - whatever was going wrong - they got you. The woman is so sweet, she called us back to make sure we got our TV working...I mean thats unheard of, the front desk call you back? psshhhh you're lucky if they even answer the damn phone. Point is - If I had to recommend a hotel, I would say HERE for sure. No its not LUXURY, 10,000 thread count sheets or stunning views from the window, hell the lighting is not the greatest but the point is they CATER to you, it gets the job done. We come out to the desert to be dirty, play and have fun anyways. Can I get a whoop whoop. We will be back! Thanks for making our experience so great

    I stayed here for one night 10/14-10/15 2021 for a work trip. I arrived late and they called to confirm I was coming. I got room 102 around the corner from the lobby on the first floor. The shower had a slight smell and the guests above were stomping around early in the morning so I didn't sleep too good. The water pressure from the shower also wasn't great, it was really low. Heads up to all my long haired people out there. All around wasn't bad, the reviews scared me at first but it honestly was decent for the price.

    From the moment I stepped into room 136, the room was awful. First of all, going into the building it was full of dry mud and dirt. The room itself smelled of damped towel, the restroom had small gnats (flies) flying around. There was mold in the top of the shower. I had put a drink in the fridge and that blew up the next day because it froze. It was bareable the first night but not for 2 nights that I had reserved. I requested the first night to be moved but they said they were all sold out. I complained to the staff about the issues involved but their response was that they didnt have time to clean it up before selling out the room again. In your haste to make money you sacrifice quality and service. In the hospitality industry that should be wrong.

    Yup

    Visited 1/20/2020 My review rates this place 3 1/2 Stars overall. Stayed here as a short getaway and from what I could find for hotels in Brawley this is one of the better ones. The staff when checking in was a little invasive but loosened up as we chatted. They do serve a full breakfast in the front lobby with bacon sausage and eggs. That's so much nicer than just a continental breakfast. There is an Italian restaurant attached next-door with a full bar. I had appetizers and cocktails there and it was nice having that right next-door. This place seems to have been renovated recently as my room was clean and looks fairly freshly painted. There is a microwave and refrigerator and the room is nice sized. Bathroom was nice with all the amenities you should get in a room. Yes was a king size room on the floor level all the way in the back of the hotel building 4. The only real downfall was the bed was not very comfortable. Soft and saggy. Bummer. Would I stay here again. Yes I will.

    2/2/18 - My "Puppy" Hotel Room #216 for the weekend at Brawley Inn!

    I stayed at the Brawley Inn from February 2-4, 2018 for a Bird Photography Workshop at the Sonny Bono Salton Sea, as this hotel was recommended by my Photography School. When I arrived at the Brawley Inn on February 2, 2018, I was greeted by a friendly Receptionist, who checked me in, gave me my hotel key card, and a map with directions on how to find my room for the weekend. When I opened my room, I was pleased to see how clean and inviting it was everywhere! I could tell it was an older hotel, as it did not have an elevator to the second floor, and other more modern features such as more electrical outlets. But the bottom line is, it was definitely well-maintained. As for me, that is good enough. The pictures I shared here tell the story very well. I slept well for the two nights of my stay, and was very comfortable throughout. The bathroom and showers were in excellent condition. I definitely enjoyed my two breakfasts here with my Photography Workshop group. The staff were very friendly and helpful throughout my entire visit. According to my Photography School Director, this was the best hotel he could find for us in the area of our photo shoots. I also enjoyed the Conference Room, which my group had reserved for our indoor photography review and projects. If I ever visit the Salton Sea again with family and/or friends, I will definitely recommend this place and book it with my group. Thank you, Brawley Inn, for the five star hospitality and experience!

It was easy and the girl at the check in desk was great. Breakfast and the staff member who worked there were also great. And I will say the room was clean so cleaning crew was doing a good job because the issue was more maintenance than anything. The issue was that the room was so old and outdated and the non bed furniture in the room was pretty gross which is why the low score. As I said, all customer service was nice, the only exception was when we asked for 3 extra pillows but were told no, we had enough and only given 1. That did irritate me but I brushed it off (this was a few hours after check In, after we got back to our room after a funeral). We got the suite which is not in the hotel and is actually in a building near the hotel. It is a spacious room but it is sooo worn out. Pillars were rotting and peeling, the rug was dirty and the couch and chair with an ottoman were so disgusting, I was genuinely grossed out and didn't touch them. Additionally, the toilet had a hard time flushing and after leaving some water running in the sink while brushing my teeth, it clogged up a little. Overall, I will not stay here again.

I try to stay within 1/2 of that budget but at the same time NOT compromise my health or safety. Places like this allow me to do this, The Desert Motel provided me with a firm bed, clean room, plenty of hot water, free WiFi, secure parking directly in front of my room and fresh towels daily. These rooms also have a mini fridge, microwave and direct tv on a flat screen television. On this particular stay I was working at night, so sleeping during the day was peaceful and quiet as well. I stayed 7 consecutive days with no issues, just quality rest and refreshing hot showers. I can't go without mentioning Janet the housekeeper, she was very thoughtful and friendly, making sure to catch me before or after going to work for fresh towels or housekeeping if needed. Let's keep it real, we get what we pay for. The price for my 7 day stay was very fair and I will continue to stay here in the future if we continue to work in this area. I have no reason to look elsewhere. During my stay I did not experience any bugs of any kind or shady behavior. I have attached a short video of my room.

Parking is right in front of the room. Fairly spacious bedroom, comfortable queen bed, flat screen tv which I did not watch, microwave, mini fridge, writing desk, chest of drawers, even an iron and mini ironing board.  Bedroom in front, bathroom in back so it is possible to have cross ventilation by opening up the bathroom & front room window to keep circulating fresh air that can dilute germ concentration if necessary during the Pandemic.  What I was definitely most impressed about the room is how CLEAN it was. The bathroom tile & ceramics sparkled. No signs of dark  mold stains anywhere.  From the outside, Desert Inn is a nondescript, mediocre motel, but my room was more than adequate. It's not the Ritz Carlton, but the price is right if sleeping there is all you need.  Some guests were longer term, out of town workers who were friendly and hanged out in front of their rooms after returning from their jobs. However, it was surprisingly quiet at night since many worked early the next day.      In a commercial area so Von's Supermarket is across the street. Great practical place for headquartering around the southern end of the Salton Sea vicinity and Imperial County down to the Mexican border. 4- stars

The bathroom had had some repairs to the tile so there were four different kinds of tile in the shower, and the paint job was horrid. See pictures. But we didn't stay there for the quality of the paint job. The Brawley Inn is better, and includes breakfast, but this place will do.

Handicap parking are designated two stalls near the entrance. Some douche-wad squeezed their compact car in the handicap loading partition and created a third spot while we were there. CHECK-IN. Quick and easy. Receptionist was courteous and thorough. Had zero questions after she offered the key and provided wi-fi password. BREAKFAST. Free and would normally be like La Quinta Inn with those waffle irons, but COVID limited them to cereal (Fruit Loops and Raisin Bran) served in dispensers, hot coffee, assorted teas, milk, yogurt, whole fresh fruit (i.e. apples, oranges, etc.), and instant oatmeal. Beware, pictures advertised can be deceiving. Not that the place does not look like the pics. It does, but in a worn-down desert kind of way. Indoor pool and jacuzzi were there. Didn't use them, nor did anyone else. It was empty. Solid 3 stars for being a place to rest while in the middle of nowhere. An additional star for holding on to my mom's cane when she forgot it in the lobby, and held on to it until we could loop around and retrieve it hours later. Def will be on our list of places to stay on our next desert trip to Niland, if we are not desert camping.

The closest door opens but good luck being able to close it. It was very old and heavy so I decided to just leave it open. Breakfast was fine, decent variety of options which you could choose.

We celebrated a birthday as a couple where we indulged in a one night stay, in the King suite, enjoying the amenities exclusive to hotel guests. We dined at the restaurant, ordered poolside foods & drinks, sat by the bar, soaked in all the bathing areas, and enjoyed the little nooks to lounge. We stayed on a Sunday night and felt we had spaciousness from other guests and privacy to fully relax. Absolutely recommend visiting for an overnight stay as the exclusivity of hotel specific areas is a must to experience. The rooms are also gorgeous and minimalist by nature. The comfort of the bed and clean linens after a day of soaking topped it all! Truly had one of the best nights of sleep and wanted to do it all over again when we rose. As mineral spring connoisseurs, we were impressed by the cleanliness and purity of the waters. Truly healing on every level!! Maintenance staff actively were testing temperature, ensuring the waters remained comfortable and well-kept. Staff overall were helpful and kind. The restaurant menu was diverse and fitting for the setting--hitting the spot with flares of Mexican cuisine. The touches of healthfulness on the menu were appreciated. The pozole soup was warming and a highlight for visiting during the Winer season. Lastly, I can't forget to nod the eclectic and cozy bar, where we enjoyed live music and appetizers before our main sitting. The decor, bites and hospitality took us to another time and place. We intend to visit this hidden gem seasonally as it absolutely nourished and transformed our spirit! & Shoutout to Julie who made our stay unforgettable.
