Staff was very friendly and helpful. The beds were very comfortable and the pool area was very peaceful and the property also had other outdoor areas to sit and relax
Fantastic stay at the Hotel Buena Vista. Katherine behind the desk was a delight to deal with. We got an affordable deal for Pioneer Day in Paso just minutes down the freeway in a very clean and spacious room, conveniently located right near the freeway. It was even nice and quiet in the morning as we checked out. Would recommend.
The manager addressed my concerns about a staff member. I was very pleased with the quick response.

The property is old, but we really enjoyed our stay there. Jessica at the front desk was extremely helpful and the coffee was great. The location is excellent. We would definitely stay there again
