I just loved this place! Fun vibe! So much detail! Great amenities!
I am a light sleeper so traffic and trains were noticeable to me. I think if I stayed more than one night, I would really settle in :)
Allow myself, to introduce myself, The El Pais Motel and Rv Park is one Funky Place to stay over, Located in Tucson Arizona.
Toni our host offered Free Coffee, up to 6 Fresh Farm Eggs and Free Laundry. Even The Kitchen was free to use. My First thoughts when we arrived was Austin Powers. https://youtu.be/jgiTLdLFMqQ?si=bhWrE5ZfOA2OriNe
I travel full-time in my camper van with my two dogs, and I've stayed in a lot of places. This is my favorite so far! I felt at home there. Toni is so welcoming, and she makes sure you're comfortable and told of all the awesome amenities.
The entire property is beautiful, clean, well-maintained. There are free chicken eggs available that you can cook in a kitchen that makes you feel like you've gone back in time.
Everything works in there. Everything is so clean and shiny. I decided to cook a meal on the really neat stove. And I found myself having fun as I cooked.
The entire clubhouse is like that. Things from a different time that still work, reminding you we may not be actually making things more convenient as the years go by.
There's a covered fire pit that Toni starts a fire in at night. They have outdoor movies. Clean bathrooms and showers. Even little grass pads next to your parking spot which Toni moved to just the right spot for me and my dogs. You have your own trash can. Free coffee in the morning. Really good coffee.
I can keep going, but you probably get it by now. Come stay at El Pais. You will be happy you did. Thanks for everything Toni. I'll probably come back to see you soon.
Convenient location and all the comforts of home. Cook yourself a meal in the cozy kitchen or enjoy a flick by firelight. Campy decor is spot on for the full retro vibe. We enjoyed the full hook up in our small RV but the full-sized bathrooms with hot showers were divine after more than a week dry camping in the wilds.
Toni was super friendly and helpful. Even gave hubby help backing in and setting us up so I could give our pups a good walk after being cooped up for several hours.
Highly recommend. 6 stars! 😀
We were in our Sprinter Van, did not stay in the rooms, however, the “clubhouse” area with free coffee and free free-range eggs (from the free range chickens roaming the property) was the bomb! Fire pit, full kitchen for use, free laundry, etc…Toni the owner / manager / great human, was there to meet your every need and very customer focused. The Retro Vibe here is so cool and there is a food truck out front and a wine and spirit shop out the back! We stayed here for 3 nights and loved it! Highly recommend!!
