El Dorado Motel

Old but clean not 5 star but not a 1 either

Welcoming staff but the property has not be upgraded since built in the 60's. The bedsprings were severed so my husband slept in a mattress bowl. Handprints on the doors, grime and just very dirty. I am disappointed but it happens.

Ada non compliance. Rude staff pool filthy hot tub not working for years

Dumpster on property was overflowing with trash onto the ground. Property need some maintenance

It was a all around safely hazard, electrical outlets exposed, hair dryer started smoking, mattresses were very uncomfortable, tv didn't work...

We checked in and were put in room 3. It was not acceptable so we asked front desk for a different room. They were polite and quickly gave us a new room which was more acceptable. The place is a bit old and run down but all in all it served its purpose for the price. Twain Harte is a cool little town, make a visit to Pinecrest Lake if you’re looking for some fun.

Front desk guy was nice, but the room was run down and dirty, but acceptable to myself for one nights sleep, and the location, in Twain Harte is good

The desk manager was rude and yelled at a guest, and overcharged for the room, and charged a $100 deposit that was not listed or discussed until they charged the room on my card.. There was no mention that they were remodeling and walkways were taped off, and workers were making noise ourside early morning.

Cool vintage motor lodge. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Beds were comfortable enough for one night, but probably wouldn’t stay longer. Room was clean except for the floor… good Wi-Fi and very thankful that they had a generator since the power went out all night!

I was very unhappy with the information i was told by an expedia agent though chat before arriving at the el dorado motel. I was told the teip was definitely paid for beforehand and i maxe sure it was guaranteed and belived the agent who assisted me. Well, come to find out... yhay was not the case when i got there. ... i was supriaed with the whole amount requested on-site when i was not prepared to pay for. I was very u hapoy about the bad communication and the fact i was charged here and there. To my knowledge ive paid twice. Very unprofessional. Listen i have came to this hotel for many years and alowly it has digressed in many different ways. I couldnt emove how cold the roo. Was and how the wodmow was brokwn and wouldnt ahut and. The dirt and debree under the bed that was neglected f9r god knows how many days. The bed looked liek it had been used a few times before me. It was insain how much this place changed through the years. It has no stucture and no repsect for its guests. It was insane, like how the maintenance on the building that next day started early in the morning around 7am amd no one said a word at check on about how much it wa going to be right above the room i stayed on only. It was like they were bangibg on the roof for hours, all morning until check out. The lady wasnt even available at the front desk until 10 am iy said on the locked door... i was so uncomfortable sonce i got there. Also there is no gift shop or spa .

Check-in was quick and easy, and my only complaint there is that the office stank of cigarettes. I dropped my bags off in a room that’s about what you’d expect for the cheapest place in town, and all I needed was a bed, shower, and AC for the night. When I came back around 11:00 pm, I opened the shower and saw mildew. Also an opened complimentary shampoo bottle was discarded on the shower floor which indicates to me that the shower doesn’t get cleaned thoroughly between guests. I couldn’t get any hot water. When I leaned on the sink to test it out, the entire porcelain top shifted and I saw it wasn’t even attached! I went to the phone to call the office, but there was no labeled contact. I pulled up my hotel reservation, and again, no phone number. Saved by Google search, I called the office and was pleasantly surprised when Felicia (?) picked up. She came to my room immediately to confirm, and was fortunately able to move me to a room two doors down that had hot water. I appreciated her quick response. This shower was also mildewed. The inside of the fridge had a couple spills that no one wiped. Concerned, I inspected the bed. Fortunately, everything else looked okay, and I had a decent, quiet night’s sleep. They clearly don’t have a professional cleaner who knows how to clean and uses a checklist. I don’t need much, and don’t even mind if things are outdated, but cleanliness is mandatory in any lodgings. I paid $122 for this room, and will not stay there again.

The most disgusting hotel I’ve ever stayed at or heard of . Needs to be condemned. It was absolutely filthy. They had to be made right in front of us because there was dirt in the other bed tried to give us another room and there was dirt there. Everything is broken falling apart, antiquated I can’t say enough bad things about this place I’m absolutely blown away. It exists.

Welcoming staff but the property has not be upgraded since built in the 60's. The bedsprings were severed so my husband slept in a mattress bowl. Handprints on the doors, grime and just very dirty. I am disappointed but it happens.

Horible rooms. Smelled of urine and feces.

It was clean. Staff was helpful. Good price for the area.

Smells, half sandwich in the ice container with nats. No real hot water, stains on bed.

This was something from a David Lynch film. Pulling in you hear dueling banjos echoing from the rooms because the doors are all open with the live-in occupants either loitering on their “porches” smoking and staring or just sitting on their beds, staring and waiting for the inevitable FEDS to topple in. The gal at the desk was super friendly but that’s the o my positive about this place, but 5 minutes of positive interaction does not make up for one second spent in this disgusting place. We paid for 2 nights and dipped after one, knowing the second was nonrefundable. The room was beyond filthy, the bedding/linens were stained and literally falling apart and shredded. Walls so dirty you could see the diets smeared on them. Bathroom so grimy we didn’t even want to use it. I’m sure, well probably, at one time the towels provided were white…alas they are way past their prime and are a hazy shade of grey. My advice would be this: please take the $300 we spent, buy some paint, bleach, Mr. Clean magic erasers and new linens (there’s a Kohls in Sonora) and I bet you will still have enough to buy yourself dinner after the work is finished! Do something though, cuz this place should not be charging more than $50/night…then it would be expected.

Very affordable clean rooms. Right in the heart of Twain Harte.

We arrived at the property, and it was okay until we entered the room and saw that the white bed was yellow and the sheets were torn. We were then told that they were the “construction worker” sheets and were on there by mistake. The lady was nice but came back with what looked like sheets from another bed. We left after being there for at most five minutes. Do not go to this spot if you’re looking for a place to rest in a clean bed. Reached out by email to request a refund and no response. Do not go here!

Room was dirty, run down and not at all as described on website. Linens were stained, room smelled and lights didn’t work. Wires hanging down from tv.

I did not like, apart from the reduce size of the room, the very unconfortable mattress, very old furniture (except the fridge, microwave and TV), some dirty corners, the old bathroom (the shower and the WC was ok). Moreover, the wifi did not work, although I asked the receptionist and he told me that the problem was not solve since last week. The receptionist very kind.

Shower did not have hot water because handle was broken. Beds are so thin you can feel the springs. It's a tiny town so it's about as "motel" as it gets. The owner was nice.

Room was clean and comfortable.

Unfortunately the biggest downfall was the TV is a Roku TV meaning you need internet connectivity. The router had a terrible connection with the TV making it next to impossible to watch TV. Besides that. Everything else was good.

It was a all around safely hazard, electrical outlets exposed, hair dryer started smoking, mattresses were very uncomfortable, tv didn't work...

We checked in and were put in room 3. It was not acceptable so we asked front desk for a different room. They were polite and quickly gave us a new room which was more acceptable.

Our heater did not work they brought us a little space heater its old little run down.

VERY SMALL Room, Tiny Shower, I Fell out of it on my back & I HURT ALL OVER!!!!!!!!!

Cool vintage motor lodge. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Beds were comfortable enough for one night, but probably wouldn’t stay longer. Room was clean except for the floor… good Wi-Fi and very thankful that they had a generator since the power went out all night!

Rude staff - overcharged 2 extra times and do nothing but tell you that they’ve “never had this problem before…!” Well, then why is there two charges gone from my account PLUS you charged me on site again because.. quote “our records aren’t showing” but I have literally shown you where you have taken two charges! Your only resolution is to tell me to refresh my screen(browser) and then threaten me???? NEVER USE THIS PLACE - THEY ARE USELESS AND RUDE, UNACCOMODATING AND TERRIBLE. I would give them a negative review if I could- you don’t deserve one single star. And now, to date, I am still wait g for these two “pending “ charges to drop from my account, guess I’ll be ringing the motel again.

It’s a good little motel for not that much money. I was happy with the front desk service and the bed and pillows were pretty good. Safe neighborhood close to stores.

The lady at the front desk was accommodating. Maybe we just didnt know what to expect from a motel. If you like hair free, stainfree sheets and towels, bring your own. Smells like cigarette smoked covered of with strong perfume smells. Window on our ground floor bathroom didnt close. The lady was accommodating enough to give us another room and brought "new/clean" sheets and blanket. The heat worked great. Didnt use the shower. The wheelchair room doesnt have a closet or space to hang/put things besides a desk. Maybe motels are just not for us. Thanks anyway

Best and cheapest hotel in town!!! Great place, very accommodating. Sweet owners! 10/10 would recommend.

Was charged twice Person demanded 200 dollar deposet. Charged my card with no room twice. By. Large nasty woman noae

The desk manager was rude and yelled at a guest, and overcharged for the room, and charged a $100 deposit that was not listed or discussed until they charged the room on my card..

Fantastic stay staff was great and treated us very well.

Got in late - the folks were very friendly and hospitable.

It was a perfect and convenient location for an overnight stay to visit family.

Always pleasant. Very convenient and reasonably priced.

Rustic, quiet, coffee in the room. Staff very nice.

It serves its purpose as an affordable place to crash when skiing for a night or two.

Front desk guy was nice, but the room was run down and dirty, but acceptable to myself for one nights sleep, and the location, in Twain Harte is good

Very nice town and everyone is very nice

Very affordable clean rooms. Right in the heart of Twain Harte.
