Despite all the good reviews for El Pueblo Lodge from TripAdvisor, this is one property that did not meet expectations.
We were given a room on the second floor that was huge, but was cooled with a tiny box window airconditioner. It was summer and the room was hot. It never cooled down. We sweated our way through the night.
In the middle of the night, I was so hot, I threw all the doors and windows open and that made me feel insecure for the lack of security. So I never got a good night's sleep. But I did get cooler.
The light at the room door was spoilt, however, I didn't make a fuss about it.
A call to the front desk and the chap said, yes, they know about the inadequate airconditioning, and they would try and find a fan. However, I never got a call back about that.
The bathroom, for a room that large was clean, but underwhelmingly small.
There are good reviews about the breakfast, but it is nothing to shout home about. Yes, they use real cutlery, not styrofoam cups and plates and plastic fork and spoons, but as for variety and options, they were not any more than what is offered in many good motel chains.
Based on my experience, I would not recommend staying here.
