Nous allons à Hermosillo au moins deux fois par an. Pendant ce séjour, nous avions réservé cet hôtel pour sauver des prix, donc nous n'attendions pas grand-chose, mais nous avons été agréablement surpris. Pour commencer les chambres sont simples mais propres. Nous avions réservé une chambre avec deux lits. La salle de bain était simple et le lavabo qui était à l'intérieur de la chambre n'était pas un problème. Il y avait aussi une table avec trois chaises où on a bien apprécié notre repas. Il y a un bon petit restaurant où l'on peut se faire servir une cuisine excellente pour un prix raisonnable et il y avait également "Aguas frescas" des fruits frais, il faut absolument essayer la fraise ou melon. Vous pourrez également profiter de la piscine, il est à l'ombre, c'était nécessaire à Hermosillo se réchauffer.

“Another new winning hotel in Hermosillo”

I've been passing through Hermosillo since 2006. My go-to place has always been the San Angel across the street from the El Dorado. I've avoided the hotel strip on the east side of town like the plague...overpriced, a million miles from the airport, and they were long in the tooth 10 years ago. I think they date back to the road trip days of vehicle traffic coming into town from Nogales. In the past 10 years or so a bunch of new school places have popped up. The El Dorado was built in 2013 and follows the more minimalist trends seen in Europe for the past 15 or more years. I tried this hotel, just as I tried the Ibis last week, just to test out this new style hitting Mexico. It really isn't my style as I do love the more colonial styles. But those older hotel often come with sacrifices (weak or spotty internet, sketchy hot water, worn furniture that isn't "patina"). The El Dorado is kind of warehousey, sorta hostelly, a bit faux industrial, but definitely carefully following a professionally sourced blueprint. Trendy chalk blackboard menus in the restaurant, stainless steel elevators, earthy colours, laminate flooring. The rooms are compact and very efficient. I love bathroom sinks in the main room. It allows for a smaller bathroom footprint and doesn't tie up that space if 2 are travelling. Quiet air conditioning, ceiling fan, King bed, ironing board...a very efficient use of space. So efficient in fact, that without a wide angle lens, it's impossible to get a picture of the room. And it has the most powerful WIFI I've found in my Mx wanderings...at least 7 different channels, 5 visible from my room and all have full bars. I'd rank this place against the Ibis. It is a bit more expensive but still a great deal. And it's the closest hotel to the airport (OK, the Royal Palace across the highway beats it by a couple hundred metres...details). Try it. It's a terrific place. But I won't be back. Just as I said in my review of the Ibis, not because the place is no good. On the contrary. It is a terrific hotel...of this style. It just isn't my style. I'm going to keep looking around for another gem. It will likely have a natural stone sink, some original local art on the wall and sketchy wifi and internitent hot water. But I'll probably like it more. But that's just me.

“Ok”

The place looks nice but AC went out in our room and one of our bed sheets were yellow stained. The continental breakfast was delicious. They have coffee, juice, beans and chilaquiles as well as cereals.
