Priceline Hotel: 2.5* Las Cruces Best Western Mission Inn

[pirate]

Won this first bid, which always make me think I could have got it cheaper, and the reviews aren't too special either, but hey its only one night.

Best retail was $76.50 plus tax, so at least I've saved a few bucks.

I stayed there in FEB for $46. This pace is NOT a 2.5*. I almst quit using Priceline after staying here. Its not really bad but its more of a 1* hotel with fresh paint and a restaurant that seems to be enough to bring it up t a 2.5*.

I'm sorry to hear they are still calling this a 2.5*. I learned not to trust priceline in small towns.

3*! geesh. well someone can call it a 4 or 5* if they want. Everyone has their standards. I equate a 3* with a Marriott type hotel. If someone thinks this is in the class of a Marriott then they will be happy here.

If a hotel that has the front door open into a noisy parking lot and the back of the unit has a noisy Air Fan about to fall out of a rusty window opening to an area that I would not want to go can be called a 3* then someone is easy to please. Maybe it IS a 2.5 or 3* because they give you a piece of toast and a scrambled egg. (If all you want is a glass of OJ, you have to pay).

I think this used to be a local family owned hotel that was nice in its day (60's-70's), became run down and then was bought, painted, and a few chairs put inside. The CORE is still a 1* in MY opinion. The annexed restaurant and the paint job help. It will be fine for a 1 night stay but it is not a Marriott type hotel.

The people who ran it were pleasant and it was as nice of a stay as they could make it. I was most upset with Priceline.
