Negative Reviews
negative:
Staff don't have the best demeanor.
Interactions with the staff at the El Castell Motel are not always pleasant. While some staff members can be friendly, in general employees are not very warm and don't add much to the overall enjoyment of a stay.
negative:
Internet downloads are frustratingly slow.
Travelers who like to stay connected online for business or pleasure will want to note the poor Wi-Fi signal offered at the El Castell Motel. Downloading is very slow, and the signal has a tendency to drop unexpectedly.
negative:
A no fills accommodation.
This budget accommodation was designed to give guests a comfortable place to sleep but not much else. Beyond the indoor pool there are few amenities offered at this property, and not every guest will like having to go out for entertainment.
