I like the convenient location. The rumors clean and there were no real problems with it. It was a little small, especially for $50 a night.

The room was small. That was no desk. Actually, there was no room to put a desk even a small one

Perfect location! Extremely friendly and accommodating staff!! Bed was pretty comfy and the amenities such as the cooking area and the games room were a very nice addition!!!

the towels weren’t very clean so we used ones we had brought with us- the ones provided had suncream and mascara stains- not too bad and we are certain they would be switched by the lovely staff- we just had our own

Location! Good value for money if your plan is just to sleep after a day out in sunny El Paso, night out or after a baseball game (3 blocks away). Overall, shared facilities were clean. Great option if you don't want to stay at a regular hotel/motel by the I-10.

It wouldn't surprise me if John Dillinger slept on the same mattress that I had.

A short walk from the train station. it is a historic hotel and still feels that way. the decor in the lobby added to the older charm of the hotel.

the wifi was weak and the window doesn't open so the room was stuffy and warm. However I was in a corner room that got a lot of sunlight and the hotel is transitioning to in room air conditioning.

The downtown location The history of the place (John Dillinger and Cormac McCarthy stayed here among others) The WiFi The staff super friendly and helpful 😊 The lockers in the room The parking space right in front (although a flat tire in the morning wasn't ideal 😂 , still, the staff were a great help) Coffee at the front desk is always welcomed

Wish there was breakfast but not a big deal, as there are cafe's and restaurants next door

really nice retro feel to the place , great lobby and nice characterful rooms . Good kitchen facilities and helpful staff .

We had good ear plugs so it didn’t bother us but it is surrounded by bars so you can hear some background music but it’s not too loud .

The staff was really courteous and helpful. My room in the bathroom were clean. This hundred year old hotel is very well taken care of and and the lobby is decorated with furniture from that era. Very cool!

Location was perfect since I was coming into town for a short trip to renew my passport. The passport agency was a few minute walk away.

It is in a bar/night club district with bumping music until late hours

Stay was nice. Loved the old historic building. Staff very helpful. Helped us find food close to hotel with a discount. Also, staff informed us ahead of time of a slight noise complaint due to bar being close by but offered ear plugs. Luckily I'm a heavy sleeper and my wife really didn't notice.

Not that I didn't like it just didn't expect room not to have a personal bathroom. Used bathroom down the hall. When I needed to go, someone else was taking a shower so had to hold it in a bit. But I understand given that it is an older building.
