The property was clean, the staff was friendly. The rooms were a little stuffy but was fixed with the AC. The location of the property is pretty hidden by factories… they have a few plazas by the border but most stores were closed. They had a mc Donald’s that was open. The hotel did have a little store were you could buy snacks and drinks.

Cons: Located in an industrial area. Lobby snacks available for purchase are at inflated prices. The pool is very small. Elevator is small and there’s only 1. Room has a mini fridge but no microwave. Outlets have usb slots but they didn’t work. Pros: Less than 5 minute drive to restaurants. Family friendly. Clean. Quiet. Great breakfast with variety. Complimentary toiletries are nice.
