This property is very nice. The room was comfortable and large. The staff is very friendly and helpful. It's within walking distance to Old Town which is great! The Botanical Gardens are across the street. There's a lovely pool with comfortable seating. The hotel has a tap room, so if you like a beer at the end of the day, it's perfect. There's also a great place for a delicious yogurt breakfast right on the property. I really enjoyed that!

Kaitlin

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities
Place is an old hotel that was updated. Everything seemed OK but the room had a funny smell, but the longer we stayed seemed like the worst that old moldy musky smell became. Was like as if you were living in a basement that was once flooded. We left early the last night and let the staff know they did call and apologize, which was nice. But for the price it cost to stay I don’t think we’ll be back at this hotel ever.

This motel is very unique, comfortable, clean, and inviting. The staff was extremely nice and helpful. We loved the bagel & coffee shop next door! The only drawback is that traffic can be a bit noisey in the later hours on the weekend but we were still able to get a goodnight’s rest. I would definitely consider staying here again!

Cute renovated motel within walking distance from Old Town, although I probably wouldn't walk it after dark. Room was clean, comfortable, and quiet. Really enjoyed the courtyard and sitting area and the live band was an added bonus. Only stayed one night as we were passing through, but would have loved to have stayed another night and would definitely visit again.

Great, renovated historic property. About the only issue is that due to how the property has been renovated, you might not be able to park right next to the motel. Loved some of the restaurants on property.

Ludovic

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Terrible experience as we booked for 2 adults and 1 child via Expedia and we were offered a King size room with no bed for our child. The receptionist at the El Vado Motel was extremely unpleasant to us and didn’t care. He think Expedia did a bad job and that the staff at El Vado was not totally unprofessional at our arrival. Will not return

I really liked El Vado’s contemporary design. We stayed in the Delahaye (sic) suite which was the perfect size for my family of 4. I also loved the location which is closed to Old Town, Sawmill Market and the NM Museum of Natural History I will definitely stay again the next time I’m in ABQ!
