Property shows its age but has been updated. Thin walls so it can be a little noisy. Staff work hard to keep it clean, great job. No real complaints.

The room was very dirty. The floors were not swept and definitely not mopped. The counters were not wiped down and the mirrors were dirty. The lobby bathroom was a disaster. There was feces all over the women’s restroom.

Wi-Fi you shouldn’t stay here
The location of the hotel had very poor cell service so I was depending on the Wi-Fi to get things done. I could never log onto the Wi-Fi on my phone so I went to the front desk and he had me try another room but the room he gave me had disconnected plumbing, so I had to go back to the front desk and get another room and in that third room the Wi-Fi still was not working. I gave up because they couldn’t help me. If you’re interested in watching TV, there was no TV guide on the screen and there was no channel list on paper provided so you couldn’t look on the paper and directly input a station. Who wants to just scroll through channel by channel to find what you’re looking for. Don’t stay here.

I feel I was catfished with this place!!! Reviews and pics were why I reserved this place but once I got there I regretted it!! The gentleman in the afternoon that checled us in was ok but couldnt recommend anything to do there. The lady in the AM was very rude and seemed wasnt happy that she was assisting with the breakfast. Breakfast was bad, cereal was stale, eggs n cheese were hard from being left in the serving tray for long time, juice machine and pancake machine were not working the positive part of breakfast was the biscuits . The room and sheets were DIRTY and eventhough it was a non smoking room it smelled. I guess it was too good to be true, and like the saying goes, you pay for what you get.

Great hotel with amazing breakfast.
Very nice hotel. Great staff, amazing hot breakfast, super soft towels, and good pressure in the shower (felt like a massage). It seems the hotel had seen some bad times and it is being slowly and steadily being improved. Value for money and better than several higher priced hotels in New Mexico.
