Camino Real Hotel El Paso - El Paso 31.75764, -106.48912

My only complaint was the pillows were too big and not comfortable. When I asked for a smaller one they brought me a lumpy one. (ugh). The food at the restaurant was good but the service was a bit slow. The heating was a bit difficult to get just right as you can't adjust it to a particular temperature.

Stayed at the Caimino Real with my 7 year old over Thanksgiving and was greated nicely, they put a refrigerator in my room and our beds were FANTATICALLY comfortable. Lots of pillows and veru comfortable. Only thing I did not like is they did not have any TV stations for kids (i.e. cartoon network, etc). Other than that hotel was great.

The Camino Real Hotel is a part of El Paso history. It's always been my first choice when visiting El Paso if I'm not staying with family. The downtown location is central and convenient whether you need to visit the west side or the east side of El Paso -- it's right in the middle and convenient to the freeway. The surrounding neighborhood may scare away some travelers. Although the city has made a lot of improvements to the area to bring some life back to the downtown area, it's still desolate, dirty-looking and not very appealing, day or night. Inside, the Dome bar is magnificent; a great place to meet up with friends or just relax and look up at the beautiful Tiffany cieling. The formal restaurant is superb and the informal, Azulejos, is excellent. The rest of the hotel is in desperate need of a major renovation, however. Although rooms are sizabel, broken windows, a myriad of extension cords circling the room and dingy looking bathrooms are more reminiscent of an econo-lodge than luxury boarding. There was a foul smell of sewage in the bathroom, and then waste water started coming up from the bathtub drain, leaving a trail of brown scum. When we asked to change rooms, however, the staff apologized and gave us another room (albeit smaller and no help moving our things). The elevators were frustrating. At times we waited more than 10 minutes to go down from our floor, with the "down" button periodically shutting itself off, presumably as down elevators passed our floor but did not stop. I would probably stay there again, but my fiance likely would not.

This hotel claims that they have wi-fi....they don't. I have stayed here multiple times and each time the wi-fi is down.

Hotel is very old and is showing MANY signs of wear & tear. I stayed there 6 years ago and remember it fondly, but it seems as though nothing has been upkept since. Price seemed great when I booked, but I experienced very little value.

The hotel is old but clean. I had to be moved from the original room I had because of a loud drippy faucett in the bathroom. The layout of the room is not as conducive to business as some of the newer hotels (electrical outlet not placed close to the desk, etc.) but overall it was a pleasant stay in an old historic hotel located downtown. Much construction in that area now though.

We have stayed at the Camino Real Hotel in El Paso a number of times. We love the beautiful "Blue Dome" bar and the yummy food and superb service of the restaurants. Our rooms have always been clean, comfortable with elegant white curtains,lovely furniture, & great window views. This is the first time that the "fancy" restaurant and the bar were closed which was really disappointing. Then the service and food at the casual restaurant was really a let-down. Terrible. Guess we need to remember that on Sunday's do not come here. Too bad.

The staff at this hotel is very accomodating and the hotel itself is very nice. It is convenient for people who do not want to leave the hotel for dinner. Room service and the lobby restaurant are lacking in variety and quality for the price. The only thing that is shocking is the price you have to pay for the parking garage which is your only option. That and the elevators are the slowest ever. The rooms are roomy, maybe a little too roomy and are old looking. This may be because the entire hotel is very old but still a nice place to stay.

Overall is good, Room is clean and nice view, especially bar is amazing. Also, location in central down town, but I felt that there are a deserted town,there are no amusement quarters.

After driving for 3 days from Seattle we were happy to see comfortable beds and clean bathrooms. The maintenance man said they were having the satellite service fixed when he came to fix the tv in our room. This is a very old historic hotel and has lots of charm, cleanliness and the staff are very helpful. The food in the restaurant is overpriced however and the service is lacking. The breakfast buffet is worth it however. I did not realize how close we were to the border and the surrounding area is crowded with cheap border shops.

I always stay at this hotel when I visit El Paso for business. It is not the typical modern chain, and some of the amenities could use some updating (no flat screen TVs), but the service is spectacular, the rooms are roomy and comfy, and you can't beat the charm and history behind the Camino Real.

The staff was friendly and helpful. However, breakfast isn't included with all reservations. If your reservation says that it's included, you need to ask for a coupon at the front desk.

While the camino real is touted as a historic hotel, it should be noted that historic and just plain old, outdated, and unkept, are two different things. Having just recently stayed at the magnolia hotel in dallas and being blown away, i expected the same of the real. the room at the magnolia was slightly more, but it was EASILY twice as big, with a full kitchen, living area, and modern amenities. the real was tiny, stuffy, there were cracks and holes in every surface in the bathroom, and i had a wonderful view of.. nothing. i suppose if i were on vacation in the states from mexico, i MIGHT have been impressed, but, if i had to guess, the camino is struggling to keep the doors open at all. if i had to chose between the real, and the motel 6 i stayed in a week earlier, i'd stay in the motel 6, and it wasn't great.

We loved the common areas and wished we had been able to stay a couple days longer. We were surprised to see that James Taylor was in concert that night in the Plaza Theater across the street. What a great treat. the theater was awesome and James Taylor was the best. If you have a chance to stay here you should

The elevator frequently broke down, and there was thus no direct way of getting to the basement parking garage. Although breakfast was reportedly included, there were no documentation or instructions offered about how to go about this. Otherwise the hotel is beautiful, if a little threadbare.

I was amazed how big the room was. The elevators were creepy but the hotel overall was good.

This is a beautiful grand historic hotel. Our room was very large and confortable. The variety of choices at the breakfast buffet was appreciated and we enjoyed the mexican dishes such as chile colorado, the made to order omelets, fresh fruits and Starbucks coffee. The tiffany dome in the classy bar is worth a visit itself and reminded us some of the grand rooms found in Venice. Minor glitches such as elevator problems and outdated tile in the bathrooms are easy to overlook. Don't stay here for the neighborhood, but parking was easy and downtown is centrally located.

The hotel lobby and bar are beautiful, however the private areas of this hotel are dark, dirty and uncomfortable.

This hotel is in a great location downtown with easy access to the freeway. The restaurant consistently puts on a great breakfast buffet. The museum of art is next door and has outdoor entertainment in the evenings. Lots of shopping and entertainment nearby. Hotel has excellent service.

This was the second time we stayed at this hotel; we attend an annual event in El Paso, and this is the only hotel close by. The room was clean, well stocked, and the staff was friendly and helpful.

This hotel surpassed our expectations by far. The lobby was gorgeous, the rooms very large and elegant, and offered a fabulous full breakfast. This is one of the best bargains in hotels I've had in a long time.

I was very excited to try the Camino Real but when I arrived I was instantly disappointed. Staff very unfriendly, hotel room was very bare, mattress seemed from the 1970's, T.V was small, and water pressure was non-existent. The shower was literally slow as a trickle. And to top it off the toilet seat was flimsy and uncomfortable. Bathroom sink leaked all over the bathroom floor. Parking was crazy, and did I mention that the staff were very unfriendly? Would never recommed this hotel to anyone.

Hotel was great! The hotel bar was super with super bartenders!

The elevators have been under construction forever...SLOW No internet service! (say they do) Television picture had "snow" on all channels, they could not fix. Coffe maker in room....NO coffee!!

Beautiful downtown building restored with a modern touch on the inside. Friendly staff and impecably clean rooms. The best hotel I have been to in El Paso, and I have been to several.

there was a roach in the weight room and one in the room. they removed the sauna. the pool is not heated and in the shade so its cold. the garage smells like rotten eggs. 1 of the 3 elevators doesnt work. the others rattle quite a bit. the service is good. housekeeping left the room smelling nice. the dome bar is beautiful. i love the historical feel of the hotel. the staircase is nice, but overrated. the gallery was nice.. had picasso and dali but the guy in there were staring us down like we might steal something. there were a few problems, but i might stay there again.

As usual, the Camino Real was superb. The rooms are almost soundproof, are comfortable and very clean. Food from room service or either of the two onsite locations was good. New recipes have been added and more are in the works. We love this place! (My husband always "forgets" how great the hotel is.)

Waited 20 minutes for an elevator

Disrepair is in the air at this property. The bones were once beautiful but, aside from the stained glass dome on the lobby bar, everything in this hotel is decaying. Our rooms were sparsely furnished and more like an old chain hotel than a 4 star. Bathrooms were dirty and there was hair everywhere. Common areas were ugly and in need of upgrades. A horrible experience.

Tastefully and impressively decorated hotel. A few small things were not as impressive, however. Toilet paper was the cheapest quality possible, also housekeeping staff member knocked on the room door at 7:45 a.m. in the morning. Hotel desk staff was not overly friendly, but professional. We felt safe in this hotel.

Unique hotel experience and much better than your run of the mill chain hotel. I had a great corner room with a view of downtown El Paso and Juarez.

The hotel overall was nice, but could use some upgrades as a lot of the furniture was old and outdate... The showerhead was broken, but other than that, it is a good value for the price.
