Excellent hotel. The staff is very courteous and always helpful. The rooms are simple simple but it's sparkling clean. The bathroom is ample with a nice hot water pressure.. We reserve the suite, which includes living room, a small dining table and chair, fridge and microwave and a sink. I have stayed at this hotel 5 times during 2025 and plan on returning during 2025.

The room was always clean. However, we got transferred because the toilet was overflowing with water that was about to flow into the room. Then, another thing happened. The room we transferred to had a door malfunction so we were locked out until 12 pm. It was remedied fast though, and overall we had a wonderful stay. I loved the breakfast.

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.

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.

Nice hotel and nice room on the inside, but located in a seedy part of the city fairly far away from city sights and the airport, and where they don’t recommend walking at night. There’s a TGI Fridays connected to the hotel with good American food. The pool looked nice but I didn’t use it. Staff was friendly and helpful.
