Room was clean and comfortable. Staff was friendly. Breakfast was moderate: some donuts (get there early for these), cereal, yogurt, and fruit. Coffee available. Pool was clean, and hot tub was working. We liked the location. Overall great value.

Charming and Updated!

I love staying at the El Bonita. It’s affordable, location is perfect, and breakfast is great. The WiFi was not working consistently on this stay, but it may be due to the rooms being beautifully renovated. Can’t wait to be back next month!
