Bonus- Hotel Mission De Oro welcomes your fur babies for a reasonable fee. Once you're here, it feels like you far away from home. This place has resort vibes with quality rooms, and all of the amenities you can ask for- including a tennis court and basketball court. I love it here. And don't get me started on the restaurant and bar that is available on the property. This restaurant serves up quality food that rivals a lot of high end restaurants. Whether you want to play pool and have a beer in the bar , or enjoy a nice dining experience in their restaurant -Hotel Mission De Oro has you covered! A true five star gem in a town that is otherwise forgettable.

The hotel's…read moreexterior is beautiful, and the staff was consistently attentive and friendly throughout my stay. My main concern was the convenience of certain amenities. There was only one elevator, located across the courtyard and quite a distance from my room, which made moving luggage in and out somewhat inconvenient. I also wish there were more water refill stations around the property. I often had to go to the restaurant or bar to ask for a refill. Given that the area reaches triple digit temperatures (including during my stay) having more easily accessible water stations throughout the hotel would be a very helpful improvement. Overall, it was a nice stay, but a few small changes could make the experience significantly more convenient for guests.

Great coffee and breakfast at hola cafe across from deli kinda. Enjoy

Great Atmosphere, Friendly Staff, but Some Frustrating Details…read more The El Capitan Hotel has a lot of character, and there are definitely things to like about it. Unfortunately, there are also some practical issues that take away from the overall experience. I wanted to love this place more than I did. The Good The atmosphere is excellent. The hotel has personality, and the first floor is a great place to hang out. It feels like somewhere you can actually spend time instead of simply checking in, sleeping, and leaving. The communal space is one of the hotel's strongest features. The staff I interacted with were young, friendly, and approachable. That goes a long way toward making a stay enjoyable, and I appreciated the welcoming attitude. The rooms are good for what they are. They're nothing particularly spectacular, but they're perfectly adequate. Not every hotel room needs to be a luxury experience, and the rooms serve their purpose. The gym was another pleasant surprise. It's clean, has more machines than they probably need, and offers a good selection of weights. Is it a world-class fitness facility? No. Is it more than enough for a hotel gym? Absolutely. You can get a legitimate workout in without feeling like you're trying to lift a decorative dumbbell in a closet. The Not-So-Good Parking is a major headache, especially if you're driving a full-size truck. The parking situation is difficult for larger vehicles, and the overflow parking arrangement wasn't reassuring. The street parking area was very dark, which made me uncomfortable leaving my truck and belongings there overnight. I'm not saying something would necessarily happen, but the setup didn't inspire confidence. Valet parking is $15 per day, and it starts to feel like the most practical option if you want to avoid the parking hassle. That's another expense to factor into the stay. When you're paying to stay at a hotel, parking shouldn't feel like a separate logistical challenge. Then there's the $400 deposit. Four hundred dollars! That's a substantial amount to have tied up during a hotel stay, particularly if you're not expecting it. Make sure you understand the deposit requirements before arriving. The room door was another concern. My door didn't automatically shut behind me, which is something I'd expect a hotel to get right. I reported it to the staff, and they said they would fix it. I appreciated their response, but a door that doesn't reliably close and latch is more than a minor inconvenience; it's a security concern. The walls seem paper thin. Sound carries between rooms, and I noticed the hotel provides earplugs. Let's just say that little amenity suddenly made a lot more sense. Earplugs are a thoughtful touch, but ideally, you wouldn't need them to get a decent night's sleep. Convenience could be better, too. The ice machine is only on the third floor. It's not a disaster, obviously, but getting ice shouldn't feel like a minor expedition. The gym is good, but getting to it early in the morning is an odd experience. If you want to work out before 6 a.m., you have to go out through an emergency exit and then walk back into the hotel through the front entrance. Nothing says "good morning, time to work out" quite like taking an unexpected outdoor detour before you've finished waking up. The gym deserves credit; the access arrangement does not. A Note About Cleanliness I spotted a live German cockroach on the first floor. To be fair, it was four floors away from my room, and I didn't establish that there was a pest issue in my room. One sighting doesn't prove the entire hotel is infested, but it's certainly not something you want to see during a hotel stay. German cockroaches are particularly unwelcome travel companions, and the last thing anyone wants is to bring an unwanted souvenir home in their luggage. It's worth mentioning, even if I can't conclude anything about the extent of the problem from a single sighting. Overall Impression The El Capitan has genuine strengths: a great atmosphere, an inviting first floor, friendly staff, decent rooms, and a surprisingly good gym. Those are real positives, and I don't want them overlooked. The frustration is that several negatives involve basic practical details: parking, the deposit, the door, noise, and access arrangements. These aren't necessarily glamorous issues, but they affect the actual experience of staying here. My impression is that the hotel has plenty of charm, but some of the details need more attention. A great atmosphere can make a hotel memorable; it just shouldn't require a $15 daily parking decision, a $400 deposit surprise, and a trip to the third floor for ice to complete the experience. There's a lot to like about the El Capitan, but charm alone doesn't make up for everything. With improvements to parking, room security, noise control, and early-morning access, this could be a much stronger overall experience.

I had one of the worst hotel customer service experiences I've ever encountered at La Quinta by…read moreWyndham Los Banos tonight. I was traveling from San Diego to San Francisco and knew we would need a few hours of sleep, so I called ahead around midnight to confirm availability. I let them know we would arrive around 2:00 AM. The gentleman on the phone was polite and confirmed a rate of $122 plus tax, with payment upon arrival. When we arrived at 2:00 AM, the front desk experience was immediately uncomfortable. The woman working the desk seemed irritated that we were there at all. When I asked for a room, she quoted $156. I calmly explained that I had just spoken with their reservation line and was quoted $122. She responded bluntly, "We don't price match," and said she didn't care who I spoke with. She then told me that if she honored that rate, she would also charge a $50 early check-in fee. While standing in the lobby, I called the reservation number again and was once more quoted the $122 rate. While I was on the phone, the front desk attendant was frantically texting someone on her personal phone, which felt very odd. The reservation agent placed me on hold and called the front desk directly. I was standing right in front of her while this happened. She told them she could not honor the rate because she had already "done her checkout for the night." I genuinely felt like I was being taken advantage of and that the refusal was personal and spiteful rather than policy-based. To make matters worse, the front desk employee then walked into the back and took a call on her personal phone. As we were preparing to leave, I saw a large cockroach scurry across the lobby floor. That was the final confirmation that leaving was the right decision. I have never been so disappointed in a hotel or its customer service, and this experience was enough to ensure I will not stay at a La Quinta again. I will be reporting this experience to corporate, and I strongly suggest management re-evaluate overnight staffing and customer service standards at this location. Sometimes the universe steps in for a reason. This was one of those times.

The shower dripped all night, there was hair on the toilet and in the bathroom. The toilet paper was like sandpaper, and there was a sign blocked by towels saying not to flush feminine hygiene products. There was a woman in the breakfast area that was friendly. However, the servings utensils were in the food instead of off to the side. So whoever touched the utensil handles prior to me laid the handle on the actual food which isn't very hygienic.
