They allow dogs, but I don't think that a hotel can be truly called pet friendly if there is no where to walk your pet on the property.
Otherwise, okay. Carpet grubby. Breakfast was adequate. The beds were pretty comfortable. Conveniently located.

My colleagues and I stayed at HIE Nogales for four days while working at the border. I didn't have huge expectations other than good sleep, but I was pleasantly surprised. This hotel was spotless, the rooms were perfect, and the staff was more than attentive. I received a nice upgrade as a Platinum IHG member. This hotel felt more upscale than it was advertised. We were pleasantly impressed! Ironically enough, I had booked a more upscale hotel in Phoenix to book-end this trip around flights, and I was much more pleased with the HIE at half the price.
Nice work, folks. Keep it up!
