Upon arival the place appeared to be a nice historical place to stay!! When we got to our room it did not look like it had been cleaned at all except for clean sheets and towels!! The bathtub drain was full of hair and a huge rust stain around the drain. When I walked on the bathroom floor it felt grimy and my feet were filthy. The room had a strange oder that I could not recognize. When opening the curtains they fell down. After leaving we received another bill of $283. When we called them to enquire about it they said we smoked in the room and they had evidence. When we aske them to send us pictures they were very rude and said hold on I have a customer and then hung up on me. I would not recommend this place to anyone unless you just need to board an animal. Still trying to get a hold of them for justifying the smoking charge. We did not smoke anywhere inside there.

Very old (historic) hotel. A bit run run down but nostalgic. Trapped in time. 😄

Really a nice stay. The 1920's vibe is just different. You can feel the historic characteristics of the hotel and it was enjoyable. Old but excellent amazing clean, quiet and relaxed. Staff are friendly and welcoming. We really enjoyed hanging around at the lobby with that atmosphere vibe and the talking with the staff. This is definitely the hidden gems in this town that doesn't show up on any of the booking websites.

Unfortunately, I would not recommend this hotel. I wanted to like it and the reviews persuaded me that I would. In short: the first floor window to our room did not lock, the back door to the building did not close properly and the bathroom sink did not drain causing it to be full of standing water within a half hour of our stay. We left as quickly as we could in the morning. The hotel was not expensive by comparison to big cities, but it was much more expensive than it was worth.

My favorite coffee shop is in the lobby. Wonderful historic building that retains a taste of the past with modern conveniences.

Great ambiance, beautiful architecture and decorations. Reminds me of old, western photos. There are also these amazing plants that you can tell have been around for years.

Absolutely beautiful historical hotel. Everything was very clean, the owner of the hotel was so nice, friendly and accommodating. She let my sister and Me sit and play the piano in the lobby for well over an hour. I am already looking for an excuse to.come.stay here again.

Must visit if you like historical architecture. Opened in 1920 (1923 depends on the source ;) ) and was never closed single day. You can get good coffee and some pastry at the hotel lobby. The building and furniture are certainly worth a visit!

If you're allergic to cats you might want to steer clear they literally roam the halls like a common pet . I didn't mind them to much I thought it was kinda funny but someone else might have a reaction. As far the hotel itself the rooms are kind of run down I'm sure in its hayday it was something to see. If anything stop by and sit in lobby and have some coffee at the little coffee shop I don't think you'll be disappointed.

We had a wonderful two-nights at the El Fidel. All of the property staff that we met were beyond helpful which set the mood for a warm and welcoming stay. The lobby of the property is gorgeous and complete with comfy furniture - an excellent place to sip a drink or read. Oishi, the hotel’s onsite restaurant, was excellent, the yakisoba deserves a special callout. The complimentary coffee available to guests at the lobby’s coffee bar was also an especially nice touch. The coffee shop also offered a variety of pastries and cookies available for purchase and everything that we tried – from the scones to the oversized cookies – was simply delicious. The weather was pleasant during our stay which afforded us the chance to sit outside in the hotel’s courtyard both in the evenings and the mornings – it’s a great space. Our room was very quiet and comfortable, the décor and fixtures playful yet reflective of the property’s history. Everything in town that we wanted to see was a reasonable walk from the property!

Took my husband to the ER in Las Vegas where what we thought was a minor health matter, required lots of tests and treatment. With a dog in the car and no vacancies in town, Michelle was an angel! So helpful and sensitive to my situation. With so much uncertainty, she held a room for me. Arriving after midnight, her staff made sure I got in safe and secure. Very clean and comfortable.This quaint, personal hotel with such charm is a hidden gem in Las Vegas. Appreciated the much needed Bible in the room, too.
