4 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 June 2012 NEW

Arrived at night and had booked a basic room for 3 nights. Everything worked but no fridge or coffee maker, you do get these with a suite so make sure you book a suite for only a few dollars more. Our friends had a suite but he jacuzzi bath did not work. All that aside the people were friendly, helpful... More

Motorcycle rider friendly, Laid back staff, basic functional rooms, great bar! Stay here if a basic night stay is what you're looking for. The restaraunt/bar is great but opens a bit late in the morning. Viva Terlingua!

Terlingua is quite literally the last stop before Big Bend National Park and one of the remotest places that I have stayed in before – this however is exactly what we wanted. After driving for pretty much 15 hours straight to get there it was 11:30pm when we finally arrived and we were hot and tired. The welcome at the... More

Myself and a friend of mine were on a road trip through Texas and stayed here for two nights. We were over visiting from the UK and didn't know what to expect. We got there very late the first night and were greeted by the friendly staff and a cold beer which was ideal. The room was very comfortable with... More

We'd been wanting to stay in the El Dorado for several months, and we weren't disappointed. We first decided to have dinner at the restaurant on property, the High Sierra Bar and Grill. When we first walked in, a guy was in the middle of the room playing a song on the guitar, and all the employees were nearby listening.... More

When it gets dark in Terlingua - it GETS DARK !! If you want party-party - this is not the hotel for you. We have absolutely nothing to complain about. Clean room/toilet/bed. Everything worked - the hot water, the internet connection (problably the best on our Texas-trip). Yes - the tv has only 4 channels (2 with "snow"), but the... More

Nice people, cold beer, good patio. Rooms were fairly clean. Showers a little scary, bed was terrible. Blind fell down from the window and the ar conditioner did not cool adequately. Good location to ghost town and Big Bend.

My son and I stayed here over spring break. We paid 99$ per night plus taxes and this is what we got: a small room, no coffee maker, 4 television channels, freyed and ratty bedspreads, a refrigerator but no microwave, ugly matttresses (one looked like it had been on fire) and almost nonexistent house keeping. All this might be ok... More

Just came back from visiting Big Bend for the first time. We stayed at El Dorado. We had a great time. We are coming back. If you are a high maintenance person, I suggest you visit San Francisco or New York. I love West Texas and Chihuahua. Viva Pancho Villa!!!!!!

I am agreement with most of the posts. If you don't like simple then you need to keep moving. I know most people go there for the ambience of the area and this place is prob ok for those individuals...just not for me.Nits right by the Ghost Town and easy to find. Sooo...Good location...the people are friendly but the room... More
