This motel has a good location -- within a mile from Ft. Bliss and from the airport. The room was clean and included a mini-fridge and a microwave. The room was pretty basic and small, but it is a budget hotel. The hotel advertises a continental breakfast but that means coffee, tea, OJ and some very mediocre donuts that quickly ran out. It also advertises a heated pool, but the water was quite chilly -- surprising considering how hot EL Paso is. It has some nice palm trees around it but, unfortunately is right next to a very busy thoroughfare. Worst of all, the second night we were there, the pool was only half full of water and the third day, it was closed altogether for repairs.
Service was very good; extra towels were quickly brought and the maintenance man quickly provided a new remote control when the old one didn't work.
One odd thing -- by booking through Expedia, we actually got airfare plus this hotel for $50 less per person, than if we had just gotten airfare alone! I don't understand that all -- it was like being paid to stay there -- but it was OK by me!
