2.5 Poor
Cons:Fridge kept making noise. Nobody would clean your room if u stay more than one night. No free parking.
A
4.2 Mediocre
Pros:The price was great, the location was good for me, and the staff was pretty good about blocking me a room in advance. The rooms were decent and had sinks, nice TVs, dressers, and lots of closet space. The beds were ok but not great.
Cons:The restrooms were disgusting. The kitchen needs cleaning and refurbishing. Some jackass was talking loudly on his cell phone and playing music at 1:30 a.m. I couldn't close my window to tune him out. It was really annoying.
J
10.0 Wonderful
Pros:The building is historic. The historic El Capitan Inn over the former grand El Capitan Hote from 1960s, but now a parking lot however the historic hotel portion remains. It is a great deal for the price. Great friendly employees. Friendly housekeeping. Safe area with vibrant hispanic culture. You feel like youre in Mexico, Central, and South America. Very fascinating.
A
8.0 Very good

A
2.2 Poor
Pros:None.
Cons:Didn't really stay. Saw the place and cancelled immediately.
A
4.0 Mediocre
Pros:Price was affordable, but you can see why.
Cons:The location while convenient to many things is not in a great area. Recommendation: arrive during daylight hours. Make sure your rooms are properly cleaned, our toilet had feces in it! Overall: We won't be returning, but this could work well for some people.
A
4.2 Mediocre
Pros:It's cheap and there's a bed. That's about the only thing this hotel has going for it.
Cons:The staff is rude, the bathrooms smell worse than the outhouses at Coachella, and the whole hotel is incredibly grimey. I think a more accurate description is a hostel with private rooms.
A
8.0 Very good
Pros:Location.
Cons:Noise.
A
2.0 Poor
Cons:the worst hotel I ever stayed. No parking, no towel, bad costumer services. And plus as soon as I checked in and go and check out the room. I gave back the key to them and leave. They charged $94 and it's not worth it. To be honest I would like to get refund. Plus bad neighbors
A
2.0 Poor
Pros:Nothing
Cons:Paid for parking Bed Bathroom Utilities Dirty Small Uncomfortable No towels No AC Rude staff Ghetto area Expensive because of paid parking $25 for 24 hours and no in-out policy if paying for 12 hour parking. Loud neighbors Ugly
