La Fuente Inn & Suites
I have stayed here twice, 8 years apart, and both times it was clean, had everything I needed, and was sensibly priced. One can get newer and fancier in Yuma at twice the price, but for what it offers at the price, La Fuente is hard to beat. It also has a nice, lush courtyard.

Mattress’s may need to be updated due to stains. Carpet was sticky and needs a good cleaning. Better cleaning under the beds. Updates including a newer tv would be ideal.

Quality Inn & Suites Yuma
Super friendly and efficient staff! It’s nice to stay somewhere that the staff is accommodating to all questions and requests, rather than firm NO like other hotels. Will definitely book again.

Ramada by Wyndham Yuma
The objective of our trip was to travel across the border to Mexico to get some dental work completed. The place was super accommodating. It wasnt too far from the border. I felt very safe in this hotel.
