Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
The hotel was disgusting. There was food, crumbs and trash everywhere. There was no shampoo either. The dispenser was empty as if someone hadn’t gone into that room for an extended period of time. The bathroom was the worst. The couch and the ottoman/table had stains all over it. It appears no one cleaned the room before we checked in. The WiFi also wasn’t working and front desk said all they could do was call in and report to IT. I don’t recommend this place at all and will never stay here again. So gross.

A list of local restaurants was posted at the check in counter and everyone was incredibly friendly; from Stella at check in to the gentleman who helped with checkout.

I've been traveling throughout New Mexico for over a year now and this is probably the nicest hotel I've stayed in at around the $150 price point and below.
