Got a private room and it was great! Great location, price, and amenities. Bars below can be a bit noisy, but some people would like being close to those activities. Didn’t cause me any trouble on a Saturday night. Very cool history with the place as well

Room was clean , staff was super kind and supportive. The hotel is over 100 years old, keeping its original way. Like a museum, in a time machine you feel. Elevator was not working but they were working on it. We enjoyed the simplicity..Location is unbeatable. Parking is only for a couple cars but there are many paid parking around. I definitely will stay in the Gardner hotel when I'm back El Paso.
