The nachos were very flavorful with various toppings. I believe the beer cheese, green chilies, pico and guac was a good combo with the seasoned steak. The taquitos have this good adobo, crema, carnitas combo that work together in concert. I did enjoy the pickled red onions that were just tart enough to offset the richness of the taquitos. Overall great experience with the wait staff that served us. Late Lunch was a good pace to customers coming in and out.

Place is clean and pretty well upgraded. Rooms are typical of the when it was built. We didn't get to try food here as it was Sunday and not open. For me it was memories from the past. Inside botanical gardens are still thriving. Staff were friendly. Breakfast was a sleep ahead of most places. All in all we had Avery enjoyable stay for the night.

I really hate to give less than 4 stars for my stay here. But there were a couple things preventing…read moreme from giving a higher rating. One of these was stained towels. I get that it's a smaller family-run establishment, but black smudges on most of the towels are a little unsettling. The big red flag for me, however, was that the door had no working deadbolt, nor was there a chain/bar to prevent the door from being forced open. Maybe I'm just paranoid from having stayed in places where crime is a concern, but I consider a working deadbolt and/or a chain to be "standard equipment" at a hotel room and I have never stayed somewhere that didn't have one of those. Other than that, the room was fine. A/C was cold, water hot, internet fast. Really didn't like how far from the bed the nearest power outlet was, especially with cell phones being standard equipment nowadays. I probably wouldn't stay here again, but for my purposes (a traveler passing through who originally planned to camp, but sites were expensive), it was fine. I've stayed at far worse budget hotels on the High Plains and around the country, but I've also stayed at better.
