Overview
by Phil Corless
This hotel, located less than two miles from the airport, works well for big families needing ample space to spread out. Their apartment-like suites feature two separated bedrooms, each with a queen bed, bathroom, and TV. In between is a large living room, with queen sleeper sofa, fireplace, and a fully equipped kitchen, with full-size refrigerator, dishwasher, stovetop, oven, microwave, sink, and plenty of dishes and utensils. You’ll even have extra space for a rollaway, easily allowing up to seven people to sleep comfortably. Kids won’t be in the room much anyway, as they’ll be drawn to the hotel’s over-sized indoor pool just off a beautiful outdoor courtyard. Other amenities include free Wi-Fi, fitness center, a grocery shopping service, and a free hot breakfast.
The Residence Inn puts you within walking distance of several shopping centers that contain a good mix of casual, fast-food, and fine dining restaurants. You’ll also find a large grocery store and a movie theater right down the block. Many of El Paso’s top tourist sites are a short drive from your hotel. Kids will love visiting the elephants, giraffes, and sea lions at the nearby El Paso Zoo, while older teens will be interested in the eclectic range of museums near the downtown core. Fifteen minutes away is the Wyler Aerial Tramway, which offers spectacular views of the city, the Rio Grande, and over the border into Mexico. Hiking trails in the desert, a classic amusement park, and minor league baseball round out a fun and full schedule for your family. The Residence Inn, with its large apartment-like rooms, indoor pool, and convenient freeway location, makes a great base of operations for your El Paso vacation.

Reviews

Good base to explore El Paso. Very close to Airport, downtown, University, attractions. Staff is friendly, bathrooms are nice and clean. Small (but functional) pool and small Basketball / Tennis court. Get-together 2-3 days a week. Free breakfast is standard but well-presented.
Next to highway, but did not hear any noise

Our stay was excellent from the assistance at check-in, the high standard and cleanliness of the room, to the friendliness of all of the staff we came in contact with. The facilities, pool/gym/basketball court/bbq’s/patio were all very good. Needless to say we had a pleasant restful stay.
