My husband and I stayed there for our anniversary. We spent a week with these wonderful people and the room was spotless. It faced the mountains, was large and well appointed. The service was the best with kind caring staff. The Mexican food was tasty and inexpensive with our 15% off as guests at the hotel.

This is an older hotel, very basic and affordable. Checkin was good no issues. Room was good for the price and no real issues other than the soap/conditioner dispenser was almost empty. The only thing that I took issue with was how faded and dirty the hallway carpets are, this could leave a bad impression on the overall hotel. Still with everything I would choose to stay here again for the same price point.
