8.0
Friendly staff at check in. Maids don't talk when greater, maybe just me. Clean room, comfortable bed. Very few channels on tv. Carpet needs to be changed, or at least cleaned, however trucker rate of 49.99 was good. Big lot for truck parking.

The rooms are a little run down but we only used them to sleep for a few hours from our trip to Mexico. The front desk girl was very friendly and helpful. We booked 2 rooms with cold and whiny kids and she offered extra blankets without having us to ask. The only thing was we needed coffee/light breakfast at 6 since that’s the time we left and it wasn’t ready until 7am

It's being remolded, so my sweet upgraded room was freshly done. I hope they upgrade parking areas. The lounge was great! ! My novia said it was 2nd best romantic date. Sonoita is still our 1st.
8.0
Super friendly staff. No frills hotel with nice rooms. Everything was super clean. Gave a really nice welcome bag with snacks and water. Enjoy those small touches! It is a motel style hotel with direct access to rooms from the parking lot. If that does not bother you great spot to get some shut eye.
