Brawley Inn

I live in Brawley and am well aware of the amenities and reputation of the Brawley Inn, so when I had family coming in from out of town I made sure they stayed at this first rate facility. My family had a great three night stay and had nothing but good things to say about the hotel, its’ staff and amenities. They were especially pleased with the quality WiFi and the on grounds restaurant, Assagios, which serves breakfast, lunch and dinner and has a full bar and lounge. Thank you to the staff of the Brawley Inn for making my relative’s stay a pleasant and positive one.

Shit.
One Unilocaler mentioned something about a chair, and disgusting stains, and so on and so forth and then I looked to see what room she was in… And it’s the one I’m in now.
Front desk workers can be a bit sassy… I’m trying to determine whether they’re being ‘professional, emotionless business ladies’ or just total bitches. They’re actually really helpful and can be friendly, there’s just a touch of coldness.
I looked at some of the other options in this town and lo, this is your best option.
PS: they have bikes you can rent to ride around town on… Mind you its 115 degrees outside.

This place literally saved me, as I came into Niland to shoot a film. There was absolutely no where to stay! Everything was abandoned. And every place I called either wouldn’t answer or curtly told me there was nothing available. I was easily and quickly accommodated here.
Everything was clean and well-​maintained. The service staff was very friendly. No complaints! Thank you!

Pros: Friendly and courteous staff. Relatively good WiFi speed. Lots of secured access. Clean rooms with updated furnishings.
Cons: Staff didn’t inform us how their WiFi worked. Also forgot to program card keys so that they worked longer than 1 day. Odd and inconvenient hotel property set up which makes it difficult to get to the breakfast area and to get your card key re-​programed. Breakfast area is really small and cramped. Towels are really thin. Multitudes of secured access makes one wonder why they are needed in the first place. Parking lot area needs to be cleaned as it was full of mud tracked in from workers’ trucks that park in this place.

Occationally, in the course of my work, it is necessary to work away from home during the week. My employer has chosen The Brawley Inn as the go to place.
I’ve stayed here several times in the last 3 years. The first few times there were issues of noise from the pool areas and drinking outside the rooms with a bit of yelling and running along the upper room walkways.
I must compliment the staff for their effort in controlling and virtually eliminating that issue.
I’ve found that the rooms, for the most part, are kept up, maintenance wise, although there is room for betterment in this aspect.
A nice bonus is the free breakfast available in the somewhat small checkin/​out lobby area. Breakfast is available from 5 to 10 am each morning.
The menu varies from day to day. But, generally eggs, some form of breakfast meat (ham, bacon, or sausage) is served. A waffle maker is hot and ready to go (make sure you spray it with the available oil before adding the batter). There are two or three kinds of dry cereal to choose from, apple or orange juice, milk, coffee & hot water for tea. Pastries are ok. If you choose, a Von’s grocery store is next door if your usual ones are not served or available.
The pool is acceptable as well as the jacuzzi/​hot tub.
Parking is some what tight in the front 3 buildings, but fairly open in the back lot by building 4.
There is also a well stocked library of books and cd’s in building 4’s lobby.
Overall, it’s not too bad of a place to stay if you choose to pay a little less and aren’t choosy about a brand name hotel stay.
Keep up the good work, Brawley Inn.

Was contacted by a very friendly apologetic manager a couple of days after stayed. He said changes will be made. I’ve always like Brawley Inn so hopefully all is well.

If you decide to stay here, start by managing your expectations. The reservation system was a headache and when I attempted to confirm through the 800 number their website directs you to it was a fiasco. I didn’t have my confirmation number and they couldn’t find it under my name. Really? Its 2015! They ended up referring me directly to the hotel. Eventually they found it but they screwed up my rate at check in, which I still have to clear up with them since I’m part of a wedding group. The room? On par with an average Comfort Inn. Beds were comfortable, not all the lights worked, bathroom had some mold and busted tiles. when I see those signs, I feel ripped off after dishing out a hundy for the room. I would only stay here again if I had no choice. Don’t go out of your way for this one. C minus at best.

Surprised to find a nice place all the way down in brawley, especially for such a low price.
I travel a lot, and usually in small towns like this, even chains like best western have very crappy rooms. So I was surprised to find a clean room with clean beds and towels !

ANOTHER UPDATE: 3 hours, 30 minutes later and three calls. Chair is still here. Called the front desk and they said «they forgot.» And the wait continues… Minus another star.
UPDATE: I removed a star because after 90 minutes and two phone calls, the chair is still here.
First off, I want to say based on what is available in Brawley, this is definitely one of the best two locations. If it was based on that alone, I would give it four stars. The girl at reception was so nice and helpful, which is so important to have a friendly face when you travel. (I travel a lot.)
The location is also prime. There is a restaurant & lounge on grounds. Very convenient — I’ll be headed there soon. It is also in walking distance to VONS and Rite Aid. I definitely appreciate location when I travel.
The room is an OK size — big bed, fridge, microwave, TV and desk. Bathroom has nice marble. Seems to be recently upgraded.
My only complaint so far is the chair that was in my room. It was gross. It was sooooo stained, (I posted a pic) I just don’t even know what happened to it and why it would still be in the room. It just sends a bad message about the cleanliness of the place. I tried to ignore it, but I kept catching a glance. I called the front desk to ask if they knew about it, and the nice girl at the counter said they’d come get it. I’m appreciative that they’re remedying the situation (hopefully very soon), but I’m shocked it would still be in the room.
