Extremely load in rooms from the rooftop bars across the street. Very annoying and the staff can't speak any English. They should know the basics any guest will ask on a daily basis. Ice Machine, what a washcloth and towel is. Bad management

This was my fifth time staying at the El.Cortez and I truly enjoy the petite cabana's. This is a smoke free environment, no slots in the building. I'm always appreciative that they give me my room when I arrive earlry in the day. Next time in Vegas I'll stay again

Be aware-room double booked!

Not a good experience, the room was double booked, at 3am I was woken up by someone trying to get into my room. Contacted the front desk and they called security. That’s when I found out about it being double booked. I was not moving to another room. When I checked in my key room bracelet worked and no other luggage was in the room. Talked to front desk manager after I checked out about compensation for the room, no response back about it. It was their mistake not mine.
