Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
Our first night was good, we had nice hot water and didn't have any issues. The second morning we woke up to no hot water. I had read some reviews that this location has problems with having hot water and that it was usually luke warm at best. Our water was bitter cold. We brushed it off and figured it was a fluke. Next morning, same thing, bitter cold water. The staff finally put up a notice that day that they were having issues with their water. Luckily by the last day we finally had hot water again. If we find ourselves back in El Paso we will not be utilizing this hotel again.

Everything was excellent, but the breakfast was just amazing
Our overall stay was excellent. Only issue was a temporary malfunction with the elevator. Our room was clean, staff was professional and courteous. Breakfast was great and the parking lot is well lit and felt safe. Five-Stars all around. Very satisfied and will definitely return and recommend to family and friends.
