6/10 Good
Checking in was quick and staff was very polite and helpful. Room was comfortable but no extra blanket and was a little drafty. Parking was great and attached Mexican restaurant was good.

They switched our room for us without any problem. The first room smelled like smoke. It must have come in from outside. The room was clean and bright. The staff was very nice.

This is a terrific place to stay. It's right off I-40, very easy to get to, and with many good places to eat nearby. We stayed four days along with our little dog and will stay there every time from now on.

We book a room that shows a hot plate and large refrigerator as we were going to stay a week. The hotel doesn’t have any of these rooms.
Also, the hotel shows its age. Water leak by the toilet and stairs to the second floor has broken/rusted railings.
