I chose HI because I have always had a good experience at them. This location ended up being a mixed bag
Staff was generally very nice and friendly and helpful (until departure). Lobby is nice and clean.
Breakfast is excellent, way above average (was bacon, omlettes, potatoes, biscuit/gravy, fruits, breads, cereals etc).
Room is well appointed, TV is HUGE and good. Wifi is very good.
The nits? Things are a tad tired. There are no USB charging ports (for a business traveler brand thats odd), the outlets in the desk lamps are awkwardly spaced so that an Apple charger wont fit in the one on the desk and one outlet in the lamp by the beds was inoperative.
Adjustable shower head was really nice but was clogged or didnt work right and couldnt adjust to a fine spray
Rooms could have been better lit and the carpet smelled dirty. 2 night stay, wasnt worth changing rooms but while trying to fall asleep that odor was.... disturbing.
I found a small bug (roach) middle of night on when I turned the bathroom light on.
5 am prior to checkout I called front desk to see if I could pay cash or if they already charged me.... clerk said he already charged me but didnt offer to reverse that so I could pay cash... that was the only strike against an otherwise helpful staff.
Deming is a small town with 3 big chain hotels on the highway. With that kind of competition I would think this hotel would be more on its game
The TV was really nice. Silly thing but sitting in bed for hours (traveling alone, jet lag) it really was nice. Bigger than the TVs at home
To be fair, I didnt complain to staff of the things I'm writing about today. But when there are multiple hotel options and it's only a 2 night stay what's the point? The whole purpose of choosing a trusted brand is to not have these issues.
