<p>This hotel is very nice. It has a prime location right off the highway and is next door to a very busy Mexican restaurant. I did not try the restaurant but, the parking lot was full from 5 pm to 8 pm on a weeknight.</p>
<p>About this hotel -</p>
<p>Exceptionally good hot breakfast. Much better than the average Hampton Inn.<br />
The hotel is super clean.<br />
The staff is very friendly and helpful.<br />
They have a good high speed internet connection.<br />
The room was average size but included a refrigerator and microwave.</p>
<p>It is obvious that this property is well managed. This was a great stay!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I just wanted to say that my family and I stayed in your hotel (Holiday Inn Express &amp; Suites in Farmington, NM) and was very impressed with the people who were working. The first night we were there, a large group of high school aged kids arrived and made a lot of noise. The staff, even with the craziness, bent over backwards to make out stay better. The hotel was clean and the breakfast area was always full of food, even with all the teenagers. We really felt very welcome there and we will stay there again as we visit that area at least two to three times a year. Thanks.</p>
