Room is fine! Nothing fancy does job. Staff at check in great. Breakfast was where the failed. Only one lady. All food out and we were not there right at closing. All tables full of people waiting on food. She was changing the tv channel. One lady to cook for whole hotel not smart.

Well worth the price.

The staff were EXCELLENT!!! Hotel had everything needed. The only complaint was they advertised a hot tub and it was shut down the entire visit. The breakfast and amenities were great for the price. Clean rooms.

It’s a mess under renovation

This hotel is being renovated. It is a mess. The breakfast was not good The eggs tasted like plastic and all of the bread products were dried out . It would have been nice to know that they are being renovated and in a big mess before we booked it. Hopefully they can get it put back together and serve a edible breakfast

All the staff was great! From the front desk, dining room to housekeeping. Every one was pleasant and helpful.

6/10 Good

For the price of the room, I expected better quality in the hotel, and more attention to detailed. A lightbulb was burnt out in the light fixture above the vanity sink, wifi was not working, breakfast area was extremely hot, not temperature controlled, cranberry juice was extremely watered down...tasted like plain old water.

We booked this hotel because we had spent many hours on the road and needed the hot tub for my husbands back. We arrived and was told that the hot tub and hotel was in the stages of repair and the hot tub wasn't available.

2/10 Poor

It it's what I would expect from a $100 room but unfortunately paid $400 because of being close to the balloon park!
William, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

You can tell that it is an older building that is being upgraded. If I hadn't had a dog with me, I would have been upset by the stained carpets, but as I did have a dog, it mattered less. Everything looked clean and did not have any bad smells. They could really improve by adding a dog area instead of rocks everywhere for dogs to eliminate. The bed was nice if a bit hard. The sheets felt like they were high quality. The AC in my room didn't work very well. It stayed overly warm even when set to 63 degrees.

The room was okay. The bedroom TV did not work, Direct TV did not work the next morning and the "hot" breakfast did not exist as they had no working oven. Small breakfast area. Had to eat our cold muffin in our room.

Room smelled, bugs, dirty

Ok stay

We had to change rooms 3 times. First time the toilet was leaking all over the floor and down to the level below us. Then the room they moved us to was dirty with a dirty unflushed toilet and slept in bed. Finally our last room was good. We had driven in from el paso with our 2 little kids so we were exhausted from unpacking and packing back up between rooms. But don't desk Phillip was amazing and so very sweet, he did his absolute best.
Marianne, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

The staff was very nice and always had ice water with fresh citrus in the lobby. These were the only good things about this property. The driveway to pull out to the main road had extremely limited visibility of oncoming traffic. There were renovation boxes stacked in front of the lobby door and we did not know that the property was undergoing renovations when we booked. Our room was visited by cockroaches twice and the toilet was recessed into the drywall which was NOT finished around it so that's probably how they got in. The light fixture in the sitting area started flickering on the last day we were there which seemed appropriate. The "gym" had several pieces of equipment that were very unstable and one that just didn't seem to work. The pool was too warm but we didn't go in because we had doubts about the cleanliness based on everything else we saw. In general this property is extremely rundown and is overdue for renovation. It was price competitive but we have no plans to return.

8/10 Very good

Room was spacious and comfortable. Not as clean as I would have liked. Used soap in the shower and the coffee machine was not clean Breakfast was ok At 8 they were out of some options and had no intention of replenishing The elevator definitely needed attention

We stayed in a newly renovated room- the tiling around bathtub was poorly done. We loved the decoration and furniture in the room Breakfast was one of the best we have had. Lots of choice. Staff person over seeing the breakfast couldn’t do enough to help us. She was very welcoming.
Bruce, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Breakfast was good, but, wasn't stocked in a very timely manner. Staff seemed more preoccupied with their phones and balloons. Room seemed very overpriced in comparison with amenities and condition of room. It was probably priced this way in concert with the Balloon Festival that was going on.

The hotel was great, it´s going through some renovations so I´m sure it will improve once it´s finished. The room was clean and comfortable. Breakfast had a nice selection. Nice location, and safe.
