Nasty

This was without a doubt one of the worst experiences of my life. We weren’t even checked in 10 minutes and our room smelled completely of cigarette smoke (on the 5th floor” the conjoining door someone attempted to open and my gf bound small splatters of blood on the sheets…. We attempted to go to the front desk, no one was there so we sat our key in the desk and left. Ended up booking in another city for $659, so this is not about the money but principle. They denied a refund, they could not have cared less in all honesty and out of spite held the deposit longer than they should have. I contacted the NM health department and advised them to take a look into this.

Skip this hotel

This hotel needs a total renovation! I stayed in room 406 which had a king bed. The furniture looked from the 80’s. The bathroom was awful! The tub was discolored and had bumps on the bottom where it has been repaired. The sink was small and took time to drain. The noise in the whole hotel ridiculous, even on weekend mornings there were construction sounds. The sliding glass balcony doors let in a lot of noise because it didn’t shut all the way correctly. It truly sounded like it was open and you could hear all the outside noise. I paid 70 dollars a night and it was not worth it! A lot of the guests were Hispanic male workers that were roofers, construction workers and plumbers because that is what the trucks they were carpooling in said. The parking slots were made for small cars and not for SUV’s or trucks and that’s what most of the guests were driving. I was lucky that I found corner parking most nights but then in the morning I found a work truck parked ILLEGALLY next to my vehicle. This happened each of the four nights I was there. Guest just parked where and how they wanted some took two parking spaces because they were small. The breakfast was okay but they had ZERO fruit available and they eggs and sausage looked worse than what I ate during my Army basic training days in the 1980’s! I left two days early because I just could take another restless night of uncomfortable rest. I absolutely do not recommend this hotel at all!

Poor hotel in sketchy neighborhood

Older hotel that has seen better days. Our room was dirty and the rug well faded and soiled. The bathroom had recently been renovated and was clean and somewhat pleasant. The area it's located in, is on the edge of not being safe. My wife said she'd never stay there again. To be honest, we'll never stay there again.
