    It's an older motel that has been fully renovated. The outside space is awesome. Our room opened out to a courtyard of pool , lawn furniture with tables and seating by fire pit. Also a small walk up bar. Very relaxing.

    Staff was friendly. The room was good sized, and the bed was comfortable. I liked the location--was nice to be able to walk to the trails along the Rio Grande for exercise in the morning.

    Great complex with cool vibe. Unexpected taproom and outrageously good Costa Rican restaurant in complex. Property also felt safe. Fabulous pool area but to chilly for a swim.

    I loved the tap room and the the food pods and little local shops attached to the hotel.

    Property is great. Great pool garden area. Room was super comfortable and despite the proximity to a fairly major road the complex was private and the room was amazingly quiet!
