Nice big old colonial house with spacious room.

We stayed at Fort Bliss for 2 nights. We had a great room with lots of space, big bathroom and very clean. The location is perfect for walking around town and it was quiet. Breakfast was abundant and delicious. The service was terrific. Overall, we were very happy with our selection. The hotel is in a big, colonial dutch house. The high ceilings add an extra nice touch.

Möchte ich bebingungslos empfehlen. Perfekte Lage für das Fort und Sonnenuntergang, tolles (westliches) Frühstück, angenehme und sehr saubere Zimmer und der Chef selbst kümmert sich bemüht um alles. UND natürlich ganz wichtig, man hat morgens und abends kaum Tagestouristen, weil man ja vor Ort ist.
