    Dated in areas but not overly so

    Location to airport good. Felt very safe with good security. Able to accommodate to late check in. Good facilities. Big breakfast. Friendly staff. Very good value for money compared to other hotels in the area! Like the ranch style/ Spanish house and nice garden. Good cleanliness.

    We would have liked a better selection at breakfast. There was nowhere to get a snack or hot drink except while the restaurant was open. It is quite a long way to walk (you wouldn't want to drive, as there was a near permanent traffic jam outside) to any other place for food or drinks.

    The bedrooms at El Rodeo are enormous and have all the facilities you would expect in a good three star hotel. It was a very quiet and comfortable place to stay There are plenty of facilities for leisure such as pool table, swimming pool and a large restaurant and the grounds are refreshingly rural looking for an urban hotel. The service in the restaurant was good (Breakfast and dinner) and the food tasty. There was ample parking and the staff were friendly and helpful.

    It was a bit noisy during the day, but I understand that the building needs to be taken care of as someone said twice a year. I also would like to have access to a fridge and a microwave.

    We enjoyed the atmosphere and the beauty of the landscaping, and the singing of the birds, and even the cacophony of the insects.

    Check in was a disaster. Late night after a very stressful taxi ride from the airport. Front Desk had closed for the night so we were left pretty much on our own.

    An authentic Old World hotel! Well taken care of and good amenities. Woke up to the delightful sound of one of the young housekeepers cheerfully singing a melody En Español! Charming.

    Steakhouse was a little expensive... I knew it would be (it is a steakhouse after all), but I wish there were a few cheaper options.

    Rooms were large and comfortable. A little bare but quite useable for what we needed.

    Everything was fine except we didn’t get to enjoy it long enough. Also, we arrived on Sunday afternoon and weren’t aware that the restaurant closed at 5 pm. We would have eaten there if it would have been open later.

    The property was spacious and had many amenities; pool, hot tub, on site restaurant, event space, free parking, hi speed internet, and spa services. It was well decorated and maintained.

    We stayed on two different dates in two different rooms. The first one was fine but the second one seemed a bit less clean with an odd smell, maybe the furniture was older, overall it wasn't as comfortable as our first stay.

    Super clean, nice hotel, good choice if you want to stay close to the airport. Staff was friendly and helpful.
