Myself and a friend of mine were on a road trip through Texas and stayed here for two nights. We were over visiting from the UK and didn't know what to expect. We got there very late the first night and were greeted by the friendly staff and a cold beer which was ideal. The room was very comfortable with... More

We'd been wanting to stay in the El Dorado for several months, and we weren't disappointed. We first decided to have dinner at the restaurant on property, the High Sierra Bar and Grill. When we first walked in, a guy was in the middle of the room playing a song on the guitar, and all the employees were nearby listening.... More

When it gets dark in Terlingua - it GETS DARK !! If you want party-party - this is not the hotel for you. We have absolutely nothing to complain about. Clean room/toilet/bed. Everything worked - the hot water, the internet connection (problably the best on our Texas-trip). Yes - the tv has only 4 channels (2 with "snow"), but the... More

Nice people, cold beer, good patio. Rooms were fairly clean. Showers a little scary, bed was terrible. Blind fell down from the window and the ar conditioner did not cool adequately. Good location to ghost town and Big Bend.

My son and I stayed here over spring break. We paid 99$ per night plus taxes and this is what we got: a small room, no coffee maker, 4 television channels, freyed and ratty bedspreads, a refrigerator but no microwave, ugly matttresses (one looked like it had been on fire) and almost nonexistent house keeping. All this might be ok... More

Just came back from visiting Big Bend for the first time. We stayed at El Dorado. We had a great time. We are coming back. If you are a high maintenance person, I suggest you visit San Francisco or New York. I love West Texas and Chihuahua. Viva Pancho Villa!!!!!!

I am agreement with most of the posts. If you don't like simple then you need to keep moving. I know most people go there for the ambience of the area and this place is prob ok for those individuals...just not for me.Nits right by the Ghost Town and easy to find. Sooo...Good location...the people are friendly but the room... More

In the spirit of the old West here is the The Good, Bad and the Ugly. The Good: The people who own and run the place are very nice as was the maid with whom I talked. The people there are definitely five star. The location of the property is fine. It is easy to find at the entrance to... More

I own a guided hiking tour company called Treks West Tours and was in Terlingua going over my itineraries for Big Bend N.P. I chose to stay at the El Dorado because I knew it was large enough to lodge a sizeable group of and would use it for my tour groups. We were warmly received by Deanna & Herman,... More
