How We Chose These El Dorado Hotels
The Go El Dorado lodging page, run with the local chamber of commerce, lists 14 hotels, motels and bed and breakfasts. We checked the larger hotels against their own brand pages. We then checked each phone number and address we could.
We did not copy any price. We did not copy distances we could not source. When only one source backed a property, we say so in its section.
The old version of this guide listed a Days Inn, a Moro Creek State Park and a Lake Erling State Park. We could not confirm a Days Inn in El Dorado. We found no Arkansas state park with either park name near town. We dropped all three. The nearby state park we could confirm is Moro Bay State Park, covered below.
