Convenient. No one to check us in. Had to stand in a brutally hot stuffy room and zoom with someone who knows where to check in. That was difficult. Otherwise, everything was great!

Cortez Stay

We arrived an hour earlier than check-in time and were able to check in. Room was spacious but the floor looked like it hadn't been cleaned well. Still dirty shoe prints. The AC was a nightmare. It was so noisy, we had to shut it off to be able to sleep. Sounded like a mixture of hail, popcorn popping and aluminum foil being crumbled. Some WD-40 will go a long way. Breakfast was good.

Front desk employee was great. The room was clean but after a few hours it smelled like cigarettes. It didnt feel too safe outside.seemed like some people were actually long term residents and not tourists. Too much commotion outside.

Reviews were good so Booked the room for friends. As they went to check in the smell of stale unwashed body odor wafting from rooms being cleaned, they opted not to stay. Also an hour after check in times no rooms were ready. They said the clerk was a jerk and not helpful, and the next called and the day clerk she was not knowledgeable and said to call back, spoke to the manager for a refund of the prepaid room and he was not helpful either. Do not recommend.

I had reserved a room months in advance. When we got there, we were given a room that seemed to be under renovation. Construction debris was all over the place, unpainted walls, not good. The clerk was great but that is it. The place was full no no opportunity to change rooms.
