El Lago Waters Hotel

Motel is very sad even though location is great. Poor maintenance, stains on benches, shower leaked, carpet squares poorly laid with gaps between carpet squares. Only one coffee cup provided, no spoons, bisciuts or handtowels. Damaged paintings and wallpaper, rough unsatisfactory repairs. Weeds everwhere in grounds. Office only manned for minimal times. Would not stay there again and is definitely not 3 star.

Booked this based on location & price. Hubby read the reviews & said it didn't sound great. I like to give things a chance & was only 1 night. We arrived and were greeted by Julie. She was pleasant. Our family room 212 was spacious, facing the car park. Kettle, toaster, microwave & WIFI worked, TV looked decent gave up trying to watch anything on it, and used our laptop & phones. Bathroom was fair, mattresses were fine, you get what you pay for, it's a 2 star motel not luxury end. We just needed a bed and shower for the night & we got it. Pool was nice, kids had a ball, we left early in the AM. We drove down the block and realised the bad reviews are for the EL LAGO Water Resort, which is the tourist park & that looks shady not for the EL LAGO Water Motel we stayed at. Cheers

I booked here at the last minute because I couldn’t get a room in one of the more ‘high end’ hotels. Yes it’s old, yes it’s quite run down. It was clean though and the location was great. It also has a really beautiful pool. I spent the previous night in one of those high end motels and hated it - the bed at El Lago was so much more comfortable and the AC was freezing cold (which I wanted). Overall I’d say if you aren’t fussy on the looks it’s worth staying there.
