Top Old Southwest Hotel Reviews

J Resort

10/10 Excellent

"We had a great stay! The room rate was excellent, and the room was clean, well-maintained, and in great condition. We also appreciated that there were no detectable odors, which made the room feel especially fresh and comfortable. The hotel offered easy access from the parking lot to the rooms, making it very convenient. There were also plenty of dining options available nearby, with additional restaurants within a reasonable walking distance. The staff was friendly and welcoming, and we especially appreciated being accommodated with an early check-in. Overall, it was a comfortable, convenient, and enjoyable stay, and we would definitely consider staying here again."
