I have mixed feelings about my stay. I spent a significant amount of money staying here for three…read morenights and made full use of the hotel's amenities. There were definitely some highlights: the restaurant was excellent, and the orange juice was genuinely some of the best I've ever had. The valet service was fantastic as well--I never had to worry about parking, and the staff were always friendly and helpful. The gym was also well-equipped, with towels provided, a good variety of equipment, and even a Pilates machine. Unfortunately, my experience with the front desk staff, particularly a morning employee named Edgar, left a very negative impression. On more than one occasion, I returned to the hotel and stood outside the entrance for 15-20 minutes waiting to be let in. He had seen me leave earlier and could clearly see me waiting at the door, yet made no effort to assist. Beyond that, his overall demeanor came across as passive-aggressive and unwelcoming. It's disappointing because the rest of the property and staff were great, and I genuinely enjoyed many aspects of my stay. However, customer service at the front desk is a major part of the guest experience, and this behavior was completely unacceptable. I would consider staying here again, but management should address this issue if they want guests to feel welcomed and valued.

Upon arrival, the receptionist ignored us for about 10 minutes while chewing gum and acting very unprofessional. When I told her I had a reservation, she said check-in was at 3:00 PM. I explained that my reservation was from Saturday, May 16, through May 28, meaning I had already paid for the previous night. She then said she could not find my reservation. I provided my reservation number, and after checking, she told me my reservation had been canceled because the hotel was overbooked and because I did not check in the night before, they gave my room away. I was never contacted by phone, text, email, or any other form of communication to let me know my reservation had been canceled. This is unacceptable, especially since the reservation was already confirmed. The receptionist then told me she could book another room for 3,000 pesos per night. I asked if it would be the same suite I had reserved, and she said no, it would only be a standard double-bed room. This situation is completely unprofessional and unacceptable. I need this issue resolved immediately, and I expect a refund or proper accommodation equivalent to the reservation I originally made. PLEASE I ADVISE NOT TO BOOKED HERE.

I rarely use the shampoo & conditioner but forgot to restock my travel hair supplies and was pleasantly surprised my hair was not completely trashed & smelled great! There's also a small pool, workout center with washer & dryer, & a fire pit. Loved having fresh coffee & teas offered through the day/night. And it's a hop, skip, & jump from the airport. Will stay again if I go back!

There were multiple security failures involving access to my occupied room during this stay…read more On 9/5, housekeeping barged into my occupied room because the room was incorrectly marked as a checkout. Then, at approximately 4 AM on 9/6, someone attempted to enter my room. They were able to get past the deadbolt, and only the interior wall latch prevented them from fully entering. They tried twice to open and only left when I yelled "wrong room". I was terrified. After already having housekeeping enter my room because of an incorrect room status, having someone get past the deadbolt in the middle of the night completely destroyed my sense of safety. I had to leave and pay out of pocket for another hotel. Brianna, the employee who checked me in and whose check-in error led to the overnight security breach, was also rude and unapologetic when I checked out the following day. Given the seriousness of what happened, I expected concern, accountability, and an apology. Management also never called me to f/u. Despite having to leave because I no longer felt safe, my stay has not been refunded, and I was left paying for both the original stay and alternative accommodations. This was not a minor customer service issue. Multiple errors resulted in unauthorized access to an occupied room, including someone getting past the deadbolt at 4 AM. I would not stay at this property again. Management needs to seriously review its room status, check-in, key access, and guest safety procedures.

The parts of Juarez I saw on the drive from the airport and the area I stayed look decent. But by…read moreno means did I translate that to safe. But compared to Mexico City, Juarez is so much cleaner and nicer looking. Locals I crossed all said that all the violence shown in the news is located in the center of town which is no where near this area. I saw no signs of problems. I didn't venture out a lot, but I did walk to the stores just across the street from our hotel a couple of times. Hotel choices right by the embassy were plentiful. And I do mean right by it. Next door, across the street... within one or two blocks there had to be 20 hotels. Big chain hotels and little hotels. I looked carefully at most hotels in the area on sites like TripAdviser, Google Ratings, Yelp, Orbitz and others before I chose. I chose one a little further away, reasons listed below. A ton of restaurants around including Denny's, Applebees, Wing Nuts, Little Caesars and other familiar restaurants, as well as a million local joints and the oh-so-tasty street vendors. Right across the street there are 10 restaurants. The hotel I chose and why... I stayed at the La Quinta Inn that was about 3/4 a mile away from the embassy. There were a lot of hotels closer but this had some of the better reviews and things I thought important. I chose this hotel because it had a pool, a gym, a hot tub, guest laundry, free breakfast, in room fridge and microwave, free wifi, in room coffee and more. That has made the stay of "staying in my hotel a lot" much more pleasant. Also, I opted to get the suite (a bedroom and living room), it was just $10 more a night and very worth it! I averaged about $80 a night that I was there. Also, the hotel was gated, security guard at the gate 24/7. In addition to all this, the hotel offered a shuttle to the airport, to all of my appointments, the embassy, the border, to DHL/FedEx locations, local restaurants and shopping centers. Anywhere I needed to go, they took me. When I was ready to come back, I called and they picked me up within 15 minutes or so. Having a microwave and fridge with a ride to the grocery store cut costs on eating out, though I ate out a lot anyway just because I love the local flavor. In addition, it cut the need to go out. Then of course, the free breakfast in the morning helped a lot to. The breakfast wasn't just a continental style breakfast, but rather eggs, potatoes, beans, fruits, cereals, juices, milk, yogurts, coffee, quesadillas and more. It also changed a bit each morning. The hotel was clean and nice with daily room cleaning service. Beautiful and well kept with the staff more than willing to help any way they can. They bent over backward for me. They also had room service for dinner with most meals running around 70 to 100 pesos (not a bad price at all considering it was room service and 100 pesos translates to about $6.50 American dollars.) Almost everyone here was staying here for a consulate visit or business with the embassy. A very large grocery store was about a 5 minute walk, 1 minute drive up the street. It was a chain store called S-Mart. Never seen one before but they are all over here. Prices for everything., since it is a border town, were just slightly lower than what I'd pay in Utah but not really a significant difference. The hotel has a small sundry shop with minimal necessities in it and a few drinks, including a limited choice of beer. Rooms also have an iron, ironing board, hair dryer, work tables, plug in and wifi internet (free) and a closet with hangers. A note, rooms with fridges: turn your fridge on as soon as you get there. They turn them off to save energy so don't just assume it's cold and put your goods in it. I had to make some copies, which they kindly helped me out with. Laundry tokens were just under 100 pesos but that included soap, dryer sheet and the washer and dryer. The gym was well equipped, never crowded. I'd stay here again in a second and never look elsewhere. My flight arrived in Juarez at 8AM, knowing that check in time usually is much later than that I called the hotel in advance and asked about the possibility of checking in early. The assured me they would do every thing they could but could not guarantee anything. I was here by 9 AM, checked in at the front desk where the clerk told me no rooms were available yet but I they could secure my luggage and I could help myself to the hotel facilities, including a very much needed breakfast and coffee. By 11 AM, they had a room ready for me. Just amazing service. Especially for a hotel that gets booked solid probably every day, they could turn away people and still be full. Simply, the best service oriented hotel I've ever stayed at. I've stayed at well over a hundred hotels so that's saying a lot. It isn't the fanciest, doesn't have the biggest (or warmest pool), no plush bar or restaurant on the bottom floor; but it has everything you need and service, good service.

Overall our stay was great. We stayed 6 days for my mothers visa appointments. The transportation…read moreservice was good but not great. They were unable to take us to the airport due to our flight being in the morning. They would take sometimes up to an hour to pick us up or be available to take us somewhere which was understandable. It was convenient having the transportation though. The good thing is that the medical clinics provide transportation as well. They will also provide transportation to pick up the medical exam results. The breakfast was great. They provided a traditional Mexican breakfast with beans along with scrambled eggs and ham or hot dog almost everyday. There was also another main dish served that varied from chili with potatoes and meat from chilaquiles. There was also sweet Mexican bread, fruit, yogurt, milk, juice, coffee, and tea. Having a microwave and mini fridge was also very convenient. There are a few places to eat across the street and Wal-Mart is walking distance. The lady, Carmen,who cleaned our room was very friendly and was great at providing information about the city. We felt very safe in our hotel and in the city. There are many other people going for their visa interview and many of them are willing to share their experiences or provide advice.

There were some things I genuinely liked about this hotel and some things that made it clear I…read morewon't be returning. Let's start with the positives: The breakfast was surprisingly good. The gentleman working the breakfast area was incredibly kind and frequently checked on guests. The manager (jet-black hair and a big black mustache) was also very friendly and welcoming. There's a Starbucks right in the parking lot. The lobby and exterior were attractive and well-maintained. You can tell someone takes pride in the property's appearance. Unfortunately, the guest rooms told a different story. Our first night was spent in a double queen room where the towels smelled strongly of mildew and the heater took forever to warm the room. For the remainder of our stay, we moved into a king suite with a rollaway bed. Initially I was excited. More space, bigger bed, huge closet, and even a balcony! Then reality set in. The balcony was filthy and the view wasn't exactly something I'd call scenic. The bathroom doorknob was broken, the bathroom door didn't fit properly in the frame, and the ceiling was actually coming down. Every time the door opened or closed it scraped against the ceiling. There was also a leak under the sink, forcing us to use our bath towels to soak up water. The biggest disappointment, however, was the housekeeping staff. Several employees appeared visibly irritated when we declined room service early one morning. One employee became noticeably upset and began loudly speaking in Spanish while looking directly at me. When I asked if there was a problem, the answer was "No." Whether there was a misunderstanding or not, the interaction felt uncomfortable and unprofessional. I reported it to the front desk, but it seemed to be brushed aside. Overall, the hotel staff at the front desk and breakfast area were wonderful, but the condition of the room and the housekeeping experience overshadowed the positives.

This is actually the third time I've stayed here for at least three days. While the immediate location is not great, you are minutes away from everything you may need right across the 10. You are also close to downtown and the airport as well. The only thing keeping this place from an extra star is the awful bathroom situation. The tiny cubical that houses the shower and toilet is awful. It's literally a 6 x 6 box with no ventilation, and there are some things people do that really require ventilation. Worse yet, is it's so small it's difficult to close the door due to how small it is. You literally have to climb behind the toilet to close the door after opening it. It's really the only bad thing about this place. I've stayed here three times so obviously I can look past the tiny bathroom. Honestly, the breakfast is worth the stay. I also find the lobby restroom an adequate replacement for the non ventilated bathroom.

The Boxstel experience is like a hybrid hostel and motel model…read more The Boxstel is truly a modern hostel experience... You want the communal spirit of being around travelers and maybe socializing but also want your own room and private bathroom? You don't want to pay for things that you won't use as you explore El Paso? Everything is barebones and exactly what a traveler needs, like free WiFi, fridge space, a bar of soap, towel, and headphones. It's quite utilitarian, but good quality. You need a space that's in the heart of Downtown in walking distance to all transport and hot spots; stadium, museums, fine dining, concert space? It's literally all that and I was able to walk and use a scooter to get around. It runs $80-$180 depending on the type of the room/bed size you want, but it will all be private and you would never bunk with a stranger. It's a unique little spot and honestly I can see it coming in handy for layovers and hangovers (from a night out). Everything is online and automated but there is a very nice attendant in the front desk. Come check them out and support local! Morning. The Boxstel came in so frickin handy after too many margaritas and shots at Elton's Dueling Piano Bar last night. After spending the night: Easy to get in and out of (locks and code worked perfectly) because instructions were everywhere. Caveat, we had to take the stairs and navigating 2 sets of stairs is difficult when you're buzzed. Thank goodness for the installed railings. We felt safe because 24 hr cameras and monitors. WEAR the Monster headphones provided. You WILL hear the extremely loud train outside, even though the hotel has great soundproofing. You will also hear the springs/squeaks/movement from your bunkmate on top 2 feet above. You will also hear the ridiculously loud and creaky floor boards everywhere. Blessedly though you can't hear other hotel guests Crazy amount of light, but the blackout roll curtains took care of that. Shower took a about 5 minutes to warm, and the pressure was limp as a baby's wrist, but it's expected from these old buildings and the only downtown hotel I stayed at that had decent pressure was PDN, after their upgrade. It was nice that the Boxstel provided towels (even offered extra ones) a small container of soap and a small bar of soap. I've stayed at motels that didn't even give you that for double the price It's cold, and we couldn't figure out the remote to turn on the heat and didn't know who to call, so we kinda suffered though the cold night. On the plus side, bedding is warm, laundered, and the bed for me is amazing. I slept on the bottom bunk and the bed was firm, just the way I like it. Even after bed head and a night of tossing and turning in a strange bed. I never felt claustrophobic. I still wouldn't recommend it for families, since I'd AirBnB still for a home like experience. BUT if they're less than 3 adults, need to be close to the hot spots, want convenience, are on a tight budget, coming in and out of El Paso on a quick trip or business, or exploring El Paso, it's a great alternative option.

The price was excellent (381.00 for a suite for 3 nights) & we ended up getting a 2 bedroom suite instead of a one bedroom for the same price! The entire property was very clean and serviced very well (on-site service changing light bulbs and other maintenance items). Property is older (furniture, some light staining on carpets, etc); however, room was very comfortable. Our suite had a kitchen (minus the stove) and all the cookware but oddly they did not provide reg dish soap or dishwashing detergent. Property offers a small gym as well as a laundry room (which is complimentary, albeit due to the military personnel staying there) so that was awesome! The downside was both were not very clean and it did not seem like employees spent much time cleaning them (they adjoined each other). Washers and dryers worked really well though! There is an outdoor pool with tables and BBQ grills, which was very nice if you are planning on doing some cooking. They also have a complimentary breakfast every morning and it was pretty decent with different types of egg dishes and either bacon or sausage, waffle fries/potatoes, waffle station, juice machine, a variety of breads, yogurt, granola, cereal, coffee. Plenty of tables to sit at and the employees kept everything stocked and clean. Front desk team was amazing and super friendly! They never felt like you were bothering them and were so kind, warm, and welcoming. Rooms were not supposed to be serviced, just light housekeeping on certain days but our room was. I believe parking is 10.00/day which I feel it should not be as it is in a regular area and plenty of parking, but, hey, it was still very affordable for all the amenities and excellent service. The property is also fairly close to downtown and if you have some time you can take their free BRIO transit buses to downtown (approx 33 min). We used LYFT most of the time to avoid having to find parking and the hassle of getting a large SUV rental (all the agency had). Definitely recommend this place!

The bed was alright - standard med firm (not pillow top or anything), the bed was made nicely and the linens soft, and all the lamps have outlets for device charging. The continental breakfast is what you'd expect - yogurt, muffins, toast, juice, coffee, fruit, and someone was making waffles. (At least it looked like a waffle maker.) Not sure if it was just our bad timing, but the jacuzzi was not heated. Neither was the pool (not really a complaint, just still kinda cold- summer temps hadn't warmed it yet.) Also, no loungers like in their pictures-and the pool area pic is the most flattering angle for the pool area - it's wedged in a corner and even smaller than it looks. If lounging poolside is your idea- this ain't a relaxing kinda spot. My only other complaint was the cable...no channel listing provided, no channel channel so you could see what was on (or soon to be). And the remote sucked (were tech-savvy enough to manage using such things- this one was either worn out or needed new batteries.) Overall, I'd definitely consider coming back but I'd call to check on the jacuzzi (I was really looking forward to that amenity.)
