Friendly staff; free hot breakfast was great. Appeared room floor was mopped but walked across when wet leaving dirty tracks. Bathroom was clean. Overall, great value.

The bed was comfortable. The staff were kind. The temperature gauge was hard to adjust and tended to blow air continuously directly at the bed. The sink drain smelled really horrible even after I dumped shampoo down the drain. The frig had to be turned on which we did not read about until our sodas did not get cold overnight.

Spent the night during a road trip with my dog. The staff (both evening and morning) were super friendly and helpful. The room was clean and comfortable with very fluffy pillows. The breakfast was great and the location was very close to Old Town Plaza.

We only spent one night and left early, but we did walk 5 or 6 blocks to Old Town for dinner when we got there. There were a few restaurants to choose from as well as shops to look in. The property was fine for our needs we flew in and it was jumping off point for our trip. I had no issues and was pleased to see some of the water conservation choices being made on the property. It was a little noisy, but it was on a very busy street so that's to be expected. We grabbed a muffin to eat on our way out too and that was nice, it got us down the road a ways before we stopped for lunch. I had no contact with staff after checking in.

When we got in room found water in floor where the fridge was unplugged and door open . Called front desk and was told don't use towels in room cro come to front desk and get a rag from him . He should of come to room and seen the problem and move us to another room so it could get cleaned up . We stuck hand towels all in floor in front of the dresser cabinet cause water kept running in floor . The beds were ok but not very comfortable , and the spit unit air conditioning on wall was stuck on 72 degrease. It was very warm in our room for most of the night then turned cold due to finally getting temp on it to go down .

July getaway Texan to New Mexico

Room is clean, you can hear the neighbors and dogs next door barking. You cannot open the curtain because it faces the hallway. The mini fridge froze our yogurt snacks and peaches we had. Really close to Old Town and some good coffee shops, decent breakfast in the lobby. Nice staff and easy free parking.
