El Vado Motel

Clean room, friendly staff. Would stay again.

We loved this place. It was so cute. Everyone was so nice. The only draw back was the parking. We had a hard time finding a place when we got back from dinner. I would stay there again though. The rooms were super clean.

It was a great change from big chain hotels in a long trip. Nice quiet space but fun people to socialize if you want. Nicely updated rooms and outdoor space as well.

No breakfast provided; only coffee. But on the property there is a bakery and a restaurant that serves breakfast, and across the street is a bagels and espresso shop. Lighting - in keeping with its historic preservation, the room is dark (to the point one is concerned about making sure one is leaving with all one’s possessions). Also, no magnifying mirror, which makes shaving difficult.

We had a superior stay. Location very convenient to most places we wanted to be old town, etc

We liked the location. It was close to restaurants and a park, and the Nuclear Science Museum was only 20 min away. We also enjoyed the free coffee and sitting outside on the patio before the town woke up. Friday night there was live music outside and we had ice cream/ Mexican food while we listened. The room was dark and could have used one or two more lights. There was only mirror was in the bathroom which really slows down getting dressed when there is more than one female in the room. Put another mirror in the room!

Outstanding Historic motel. Staff was great. Loved the shops and restaurants on property. Bed super comfortable!

Clean, well designed rooms with elegant furnishings. Great pool. Terrible WiFi which when you're travelling isn't ideal.

Clean and quiet. Cute little quirky place. Appreciated the outdoor courtyard for relaxation. Thank you for the lobby coffee.

Great motel with a great location. Thanks.

Staff mentioned to several other guests what room we were staying in while in the lobby. Not sure why she felt to do this when I'm with my family or how this is safe or ok to do. Was cool to stay but would probably pick somewhere else next time. More of a hip party spot, not a family place.

Room was clean - staff was great The area is too loud with cruising cars and the smell of pot is too strong.

Very good

Exceptional

Perfect spot for a quick overnight stay, clean, helpful staff with food and drink options right in the courtyard. The pool was a nice way to stay cool and the patio misters were also nice touch. Get the breakfast burrito from Raiz so filling and delicious!

Lovely place and beautiful decor. Was disappointed the lovely room didn’t have a fridge.

The welcome drinks were a nice start before we went to explore Old Town.

Superb

This is a nice funky little motel with live music on the weekends and great little restaurants with local food. We loved hanging out in the pool. They keep it up nicely. However, you need your room key to get anywhere on the property. There are all these gates. My key stopped working on half the gates so I had to go to the desk and get new ones made that cancelled the original key so if your room partner was out and about they would come back and find their key didn't work. The young woman at the front desk refused to check us in before 3 PM even though the room was ready (I'm talking 2:30-2:45PM). It was very off putting. Don't come on Mon and Tues as those little restaurants are not open. Friday and Saturday they had great music

Clean quiet room, very comfortable and a good night's sleep. The only drawback was the parking, which is a public parking lot for a shopping center. and somewhat confusting to locate if you have not been there before. Aside from that, really liked the property and the ambience.
