The property was nice and clean. Staff were ok but i didn't experience exceptional service like i saw in the reviews. That is fine once they are courteous enough, which they were. Breakfast was alright. There was a change in most of the foods every morning. The room was spacious, clean and the bed was comfortable. House keeping did a good job. There was some construction at the hotel, which led to a little noise. Outback of the hotel was an area for trucks and other larger vehicles, which also had a bit of noise. Besides that, our view of people's backyards.

I really like the property and have been there many times, but on our last stay they were doing construction early in the morning. Also, the wifi was not working on the first floor towards the front. Other than that, they have done a good job with renovations. I recommend the Best Western El Dorado just make sure they give you a room away from what's left of the renovations.

Qué Xopa, I really enjoyed the staff. Everyone I encountered was welcoming and professional. I can give a shot out to Mr. Mosses! He helped me to navigate some issues until resolved during my stay. The breakfast was a good mixture of cuisines. Of course my goal. Make more money, return trip coming!
