“The vintage 1920s decor, comfortable beds, and well-equipped communal kitchen make for an appealing budget stay. Recent renovations caused temporary discomfort for some, but management addressed concerns; the building's age also presents some maintenance issues. Overall, it strikes me as a characterful and affordable option in El Paso.”
