As a VIP member of Hotels.com the experience at El Cid was crap from before check in until the end. So many things went wrong and if you would like to know someone should pick up a phone and call their guest.

Sad experience 😢

Not a very good experience. Living room couch was terrable .No TV in bedroom. No Flooring stained concrete flooring . Front door would not lock . Some window coverings were non existant. No counter space in bathroom. The host was very good at providing instructions and Things to do. Nothing like a normal hotel room with a tv in the bedroom and a livingroom with a comfortable couch .

The location is great. The property is well cared for although our room was not sound proof. The people next door sounded as though they were in our unit The kitchen could use a few more basic things like a cutting board and dish drying towels. Also 2 towels in the bathroom aren’t enough.
