Jonathon is an excellent ambassador for the hotel and the area. He guided us well in the things to do in the area. Thank you Jonathon—- employee of the month!!

8/10 Very good

Fairly pleasant stay, other than the facility seeming slightly outdated, especially in the bathroom where the shower stall has what appeared to be mold spots and the drain floor being cracked. Oh and the bedding and towels didn’t have that fresh clean smell, that’s why I gave the good rating and not excellent!

Lobby great, breakfast was one of the best. Very comfortable room and easy access to I40. Staff appeared to need a little more training on service and making room keys.

I've been traveling throughout New Mexico for over a year now and this is probably the nicest hotel I've stayed in at around the $150 price point and below.

Our stay

A list of local restaurants was posted at the check in counter and everyone was incredibly friendly; from Stella at check in to the gentleman who helped with checkout.

The breakfast was awful and horribly unhealthy. Cold packaged boiled eggs in the fridge?!? GROSS. Except for apples and bananas, the whole menu was a carbohydrate nightmare.

2/10 Poor

Room was not clean, when we asked to change the room we got excuses that it will be tedious task, though the staff there helped clean the room at that time. Room also had a strange smell. Nothing was there related to continental breakfast, it was same type which we would have gotten in other hotels and on top of the elevators where not working and corridor was smelling of bacon.
