Cambria Hotel El Centro - Imperial — Hotel in Imperial

The hotel was still new. Property was nice and well taken care of. The inside entry was welcoming and clean. Upon my check in, my room wasn't ready yet so I was told that once it was ready they would let me know. I waited 4.5hrs when finally at 3:30pm i decided to check if it was ready and to my surprise it had been ready for awhile. I informed them I was told I would be notified when it was ready and I hadn't been. I also informed them I had been waiting 4.5hrs. I was quickly checked in but had to give a deposit of $100 which I wasn't aware of be did so as needed. The room was spacious and clean. The fridge wasnt cold nor did it get cold, so I had to turn the temperature down. It got warm at night and the air took some time to cool it down but once it did, ir was nice. I was accomodated 2 free dinners because the breakfast was closed on thw first 2 nights but nothing for having to wait 4.5hrs for my room that was ready and Wasn't notified as I was told. That was quite disappointing. I had tried to use the pool and spa. The spa was closed and the pool was freezing. Ffor an indoor pool I was assuming it would have been heated....it was not!! Really cold! The gym was very small but nice and clean with working equipment. I neglected to check out and utilize the laundry facilities so I am unsure if that was in working order.

The 1905 restaurant was kind of like a diner style setting crossed with a upscale style. The prices were EXTREMELY expensive with little portions.The hotel was still new.

The prices were EXTREMELY expensive with little portion size. Aside from the portion size the food was excellent. I had an chance to try the burger and fries, the broccolini, the potatoes, the chips and turkey club, and the rustic poblano pasta and the Calabrian pasta, the garlic bread and marinatedolives. The favor of everything was wonderful. The rustic poblano pasta needed a little more salt and pepper and definitely more parmesan cheese. I only got to try one spirits drink which was a type of breeze, was a little more ice then drink. I did try the chavela with Pacifico, those were very delicious! Oh, and I did try the. Tapatio honey sauce wings which were quite tasty. The first 2 nights I stayed the restaurantThe first 2 nights I stayed the restaurant wasn't open for breakfast or lunch which was disappointing since I specifically chose that hotel for the convenience of a restaurant in it. The staff was friendly and inviting. I do recommend this hotel if your in the area. Just beware of the deposits, the pricey menu options, freezing pool andnon-working spa. Also, if they say they will let you know when your room is ready - DO NOT rely on that, keep checking! Don't wait 4.5hrs like I did! Good luck and...

Upon entrance the hotel was clean and smelled inviting. The front desk smiled as they greeted me and pulled up my reservation and answered all of my questions without hesitation (they knew, not guessed). The room was at a perfect temperature and very clean and again with pleasant fragrance. Well lit bathroom, amazing showerhead that actually let me rinse my hair and allows enough room for a tall person. Mattress was super comfy and the bedding just right. Had all the amenities needed if you wanted cook. Local channels on the tv. Not a whole lot of selection and probably could use an upgrade or be able to logon to our own subscriptions would be awesome. Had a suggested cocktail at the bar made with homemade guava syrup, and it was delicious! A bit pricey for the 6-8 oz glass but was very good. Had an omelette breakfast that was a perfect portion and will have again! Overall the stay was exactly as I was expecting and more importantly, exactly as I’ve recommended to our company to create a contract with for our physicians. Keep up the great work Cambria of Imperial! Way to go! I’ll definitely stay...

A Memorable Stay

We recently stayed at this hotel in Imperial, CA, while attending the funeral services of a friend. A family friend recommended this place for all the guests, and I’m so glad we chose it.

From the moment I walked in, I was impressed by the interior decor. The hotel’s unique touches—vintage prints and photos of immigrants working in the fields, farmers with their crops, and fascinating relics displayed in a cabinet—transported me. It felt like more than just another hotel; it was a celebration of history and culture.

The serving staff was outstanding—welcoming, attentive, and always ready with a smile. Their hospitality made us feel right at home.

The restaurant deserves a special mention! I ordered the Halibut appetizer, and it was absolutely divine. The menu offered an incredible variety, catering to all tastes. And the drinks? The Greyhound cocktail was the best I’ve ever had.

This hotel has earned a spot on our list of favorites. We’ll definitely reserve a room here again whenever we’re in town. I highly recommend it for anyone visiting Imperial, CA! ...
