It was the EconoLodge, so what did I expect. I was just in Las Cruces for the football game and didn't want to spend much money. You get what you pay for.

Bed was fine, water was hot and the staff was friendly enough, BUT that didn’t make up for the following: (1) the room was hot and took a couple of hours to cool down once we turned the AC on, (2) the floor on the bathroom creaked very loudly and (3) there were a LOT of cosmetic issues that I won’t take the time to list. Our stay wasn’t horrible, but our room is badly in need of some maintenance attention
