Polite staff. Ice machines didn't work but they allowed us to get ice from the lobby/bar area so that was nice of them. Was a decent stay.

This is a good hotel. They've renovated it recently and it's located in a part of town with much walkability. I've ranked it a little lower than I might because 1) the mattress was too soft for me (but that's just me) and 2) for some reason, the sheets made me feel itchy. No bugs, mind you! Perhaps the detergent they used, although I'm usually not sensitive.

Easy on line check in prior to arrival. The continental breakfast to be fair was average with little choice and having to ask for cups to have a coffee. The tables could also do with a wipe down between guests

I was surprised how clean and bright was the room. Very comfortable. Only a block to the main street and able to walk around downtown. A few minute drive to Albertson's grocery store. Convenient location for doing things in town and driving to Carlsbad Caverns and Guadalupe Mountains National Park.
