The bed was excellent. The cost was extreme.

The moment I stepped into the hotel, it felt like walking into a scene from a horror movie. The entire front desk area was enclosed with plastic panels, and the furniture looked old and outdated.
In the room, the curtains were full of holes, the desk chair had ripped fabric that was hand-sewn together, and the couch was extremely dirty, covered with stains and tears.
During my trip, I stayed at six different Holiday Inn locations across New Mexico and Arizona, and this was the most expensive one—yet it didn’t meet the usual Holiday Inn standards. Overall, it was a really disappointing experience.

Hotel looks nice on the outside but is very poorly maintained on the inside. Chipping paint, ripped carpet, standing in water while showering, very dirty windows, etc.
