"Aging and not gracefully."
Overall Score2.0/ 5
To be honest, I booked this room as a last resort. It was a last minute trip and we wanted to stay close to Freemont. The room is aged beyond what a snappy color of paint might do for it. At first glance in pictures it is bright and playful. one you are in the room it is very dark and hard to see. There are also no USB for charging your devices and no conveniently located plus ins. The only two we found were in the bathroom and in the entry shared with the coffee pot. The bed was just okay. Lastly, the room cleanliness was terrible. No deep cleaning anywhere. Grime in every wall and floor edge, around the base of the shower, the sink. The front of the sink counter didn't appear to be wiped down in ages. The towel racks hung loosely on the wall. All in all, we knew we would only be there to sleep. Buttery at a cost close to 300 per night I expected much better and found the online reviews to be very misleading. It served it's purpose for the weekend but we won't be staying at El Cortez again. I would give it two out of five stars.
