Hotel has a good location downtown as far as being within walking distance to several things. Receptionist at front desk had no personality. She wasn’t rude, but she wasn’t friendly either. Didn’t ask how was your stay or say thank you. Take earplugs. because there is a lot of road noise from the freeway as well as Missouri Street with cars racing by at all hours.

The location. It was close to our office It was dirty and old. Not hot water. If you are lucky ; you get warm water to take a shower and the serious problem was the noise . It was next to the highway . It was impossible to sleep. Stay away from room 403 ... Never ever I would stay there. It was like I was staying on the street; sleeping on the street next to the cars.

The continental breakfast was wonderful, the bed was comfy Better parking area can’t get in and out easily. Also freeway sounds like a race track when trying to sleep. Elevator sounds like a rollercoaster every time someone used it and it was right next to my room.

Location. Staff was friendly. The hot breakfast was good. I really liked the sausage. The bed and pillows were comfortable. It was pretty quiet at night. Elevator was always available You could tell the bathroom was a bit old, a little worn down. The plumbing in the shower and the sink drained slowly and the toilet was in a slightly awkward position. Whenever I used the sink half the time, my leg would brush against the toilet, which was a bit uncomfortable. I have no idea if it was related to the room since it was only 3 nights but I had allergies every single night. That got worse at night so I don't know if it's the room or just El Paso.

This place is excellent, the staff were super friendly. The room was clean. The only downfall or complaint is that the parking is small and not that great. But had great stay

The staff upon check in and out were kind and helpful. However, the rooms weren't clean. The bed was made with red stains that would've been visible to housekeeping when making it. There was hair in the shower, dirty floor stains that were questionable, the TV wasn't mounted securely and another party traveling with us had a bug issue. Staff handled it well but it was certainly not up to par with the inflated price for the room.

Check in was a nightmare. 3 hours after Check in because rooms were not clean, the lobby was hot and full of over 20 people in line to check in. We were not given our room until after 6 o’clock in the evening. One guest before us even came back down to complain that their room still wasn’t clean after it was given to us. They started just giving us other rooms that we didn’t even reserve leaving families without a room. 4 people in line after waiting the 3 hours just left to check into another hotel and refused refunds.

The front desk staff was very helpful and professional during stressful moments of check in and no parking availability. The room needed some extra attention such as we found a few trash items under the tv stand and bathroom needed a better wipe down

Parking can be a problem only if you arrive after 10pm or so, otherwise no issues while we were there. Main floor of the hotel was very warm but A/C in our room was fantastic. It never struggled to keep up with our demand. Breakfast was nice for it being included. It had scrambled eggs, pre-made cheese omelets, breakfast potatoes, pancakes, sausage, biscuits and gravy, cinnamon rolls, toast and bagels, etc. Room was spacious and had a couch with a pullout bed. Elevators were fast. Plenty of storage. Room was equipped with mini fridge and microwave as well as pod style coffee maker. Shower head was difficult to turn on and off but had good pressure. We would stay here again.

We weren't impressed with our stay. Our check in receptionist was not friendly or helpful, she seemed annoyed with us sour questions bothered her. The only staff member that was helpful was a young man with blonde hair, very friendly and gave suggestions for good and sites to see. Our room was good but the bathroom faucet was ready to come off and sink was clogged and there was a leak and black mold in the bathroom ceiling above the toilet. Pool area was dirty. Usually Our experiences have been great but unfortunately not at this location.

Our stay at this hotel was incredibly frustrating, and we will definitely not be returning. From the exact minute we stepped into our room, the TV did not work, displaying a "No Signal" error message. What followed was a masterclass in terrible customer service: Ghosted by the Front Desk: We tried calling the front desk many, many times with absolutely no response. Empty Promises: We finally walked down to the lobby in person. We were told a technician would come up. He arrived, admitted he couldn't fix it, and said he would see if he could find us another TV. He never returned. More Unanswered Calls: After waiting two hours, we tried calling the front desk again. Once again, it took numerous attempts just to get someone to answer. Delayed Solutions: Eventually, someone else came up and told us the TV was broken but they could get us a replacement in the morning. Surprise, surprise—the next morning came and went with no TV, no phone call, and no updates. End of the Line: By the time we inquired about it again, we were so thoroughly frustrated that we just gave up and checked out. It is completely unacceptable to pay full price for a room with advertised amenities, only to receive a broken product and zero support. The most ironic part of this entire ordeal is that the hotel has signs posted everywhere telling guests to "call the front desk if you need anything"—yet it was entirely impossible to get ahold of anyone

The biggest disappointment was the customer service. The staff at check-in appeared unhappy and unwelcoming. They were not friendly, and did not even respond to a simple greeting when guests arrived. Overall, the hotel is acceptable for a few nights, but the condition of the rooms and especially the attitude of the front desk staff leave plenty of room for improvement.

The room we had faced the interstate making it very loud. The room itself was decently clean. The halls and dining area were very hot. There were rugs in the entryway that were not flush with the ground making it a trip hazard.

-One led to the pool that was surrounded by a gate. -The other lead to an area adjacent to the gated pool and when you followed the signs it lead to a 8' high gate latched at the top and blocked by a large mattress at a 30° angle. Not safe conditions.

Breakfast was nice: eggs, waffles, oatmeal, cereal, coffee, fruit. The staff allowed us to check-in an hour early and were helpful with extra towels.

Went for BTS concert @ Sunbowl. Short ride to the stadium. Walked back took about 30 min but way better than waiting for an Uber. The walk wasn’t bad at all! So if you’re looking for somewhere to stay for a concert @ sunbowl, this one was great!
