The staff was great, the no water in the pool . The fitness area was good. I didn’t like the tub , it was slanted on both sides towards the middle. I felt unsafe in it while showering.

We were stayed after a day at Guadalupe Mountain NP. Monica at the front desk was great. Told us the best place to park that is close to our room. Even checked on us within an hour to ask if everything was ok with the room. Gym was well equipped for people that can handle heavier weights. We plan to stay next year when we visit the mountain again.

The beds are comfortable. The pool is ice cold and dirty it’s placed in a bad spot the sun goes behind the building in the evening and the pool is in the shade. This was one of the coldest pools I’ve ever swim in.

The check-in girl, Chelsey, was so nice and very helpful with a place to eat. The trip to our 3rd floor room was scary. The elevator needs service so badly, I thought we would be stuck and have to be rescued. The sheet were clean but the rest of the room needed help. The tv remote was full of old dried food, the bathroom toilet tank was loose you couldn’t flush the toilet the calk is gone so it looks dirty the tub was stained. This was not worth the money. They need a maintenance man badly!!! They need a maid training session.

But the bed was comfy! We were only here less than 24 hours so not a big deal. Also breakfast was really good!! The staff definitely get 5🌟

The room is clean and the whole hotel has a pleasant scent. Breakfast is good. It has a great variety of food to choose from. The area and tables are clean. Check in is easy, no hassle. The hotel is not located in a busy area so it's pretty quiet. Definitely will stay again.

The parking lot was well lit, the staff was friendly, and the bed was comfortable. However, the elevator was not clean, had a hole in the metal door, and made strange noises. There was hair in the bathtub, streaking on the bathroom mirror, and a used toothpick by the nightstand.

There's a loud sound in the room and you can even hear outside the room. But it's coming from a vent in the bathroom. We had to close the bathroom door. It's still audible, but better. The overnight gal wasn't very friendly, wasn't dressed well and looked and sounded tired. She tried to get us a different room, but said you were sold out. We're checking out early, anyway. And the mattress sinks towards the middle.

On our arrival we were checked in by Monica. Once we were settled in our room she called to see how our room was. We had a problem with our TV and logging into Wi-Fi. Monica came to our room and helped us resolve our issues. She definitely went above and beyond. As an employer she is the kind of employee we all value most!

First room smelled like milldew. The lady behind the desk said that many of them did due to a carpet cleaning company who did a bad job. She was kind and changed our room before we moved in. Once we moved in to the second room, we left to eat and returned to find the shower only came down at a trickle. We told the new lady at the dront desk and she was rude about it. Came and pulled the knob, saw water coming out and proceeded to tell us we were doing it wrong. My two daughters had already resorted to a bath instead of a shower and my wife had to manage her hair under the poor shower head. She then said that we could change rooms, but it was already11:30 and we were settled in. The next morning I asked for a discount, but she said that she could not give a discount because we booked with Expedia.
