Description: UTEP parents and sports fans love this hotel because it is located on the southeast corner of the UTEP campus and is within walking distance to the entire campus, including the Don Haskins Center and Sun Bowl Stadium. If you’re a proud parent coming to watch your child graduate from UTEP or are here to catch a Miners football game, this is the place to stay. As you approach the hotel, you’ll notice that it is designed with the same Bhutanese-style architecture as many of the buildings on UTEP’s campus. Inside, you’ll find a cleanly decorated front lobby with slate floors and pleasant, bright, comfy guest rooms. The outdoor pool is lined with palm trees and overlooks downtown El Paso, providing a nice space to unwind under the El Paso sun, and there is a fitness center equipped with several weight machines and treadmills. Some 40 restaurants, bars, and nightclubs are located within walking distance along the Cincinnati Avenue Entertainment District, so this is also a good hotel option if you’re traveling on a budget and want to explore El Paso’s nightlife. On site, the Great American Grill serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner, with both indoor and outdoor seating. Self-parking is available in a number of outdoor and covered spaces around the hotel.
