"I am a huge fan of old-school motor lodges like this one. El Pueblo retains its charm, and we really enjoyed our stay.
The good/great: decor, furnishings, and little touches like table and chairs outside your room. The grounds are beautiful and well maintained, with a very clean pool & hot tub, BBQs, chairs, and lawn games. If you're relatively fit, you can walk into town easily (I traveled with my parents who are in their 70s and they needed to drive into town and park, but I was able to walk in and out). Breakfast was delicious. Parking right in front of your room is also extremely convenient.
Recommendations: The rooms were clean - don't get me wrong, but could use a deep clean for hard to reach areas, carpets, etc. Later breakfast - when I'm on vacation, I'm not up at the crack of dawn and I like to sleep in. Breakfast until 10 (vs 9:30) would help with that.
To note: the lodge sits on a busy road, and there are alot of loud trucks and motorcycles that go past. Bring ear plugs if you're a light sleeper.
Overall: I would and will definitely stay here again without hesitation."
