Historic hotel with Dillinger memorabilia.

I would stay there again, my stay was enjoyable. Breakfast was at the Rose Cafe, which was one door down and was delicious. As well, with the pizza joint two doors away from the hotel itself. I highly recommend only disadvantage is no elevator, so be prepared for stairs up and down.. . Enjoy your stay.

Better than expected..

Really cool downtown hotel celebrating their 100th anniversary.

10/10 Exceptional

You definitely get your money’s worth here. Amazing historic hotel. I have only stayed in the private rooms but be aware this is not a luxury stay as a main component is hostel rooms but having been a broke traveler at many points in my life I appreciate this aspect of the Gardner as well.

The staff was amazing and the building has historical significance. I felt like was in the 1920s. It felt very classy. I will come again.

Great place,

It is a really nice hotel and hostel.The atmosphere and style of the hotel is so amazing the history of the hotel is very cool.I would definitely stay there again..The only odd thing that happened,i left my phone charger and i called the front desk later on that day.The person took my number and said she would call me back after she checked with housekeeping,,she never called me back,so i guess they just kept it.

Carlos, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Cool property. The front desk worker was cool. He gave us a solid 15 minute tour of the place and explained the history. Very nice guy. It was a great location for New Years Eve. We could walk to all the bars and clubs for the girls and gays and eat at some available open options. Centrally located for sure. Super loud all night due to New Year’s Eve though so don’t plan on getting any peace and quiet until 230/3am and it’s a hostel - so even though we had a private room, we were next to a public room where everyone woke up and started making noise at like 8am. Other than that, great for partying and walking safely to a ton of fun things.

The Gardner Hotel is a gem in downtown El Paso. We like it for the convenience and the price. We travel to the city by train. Union Station is less than a mile from the hotel. [Hint: Ignore Google maps. Best walk path from the station to hotel is to cut thru to the right of the baseball stadium and take Franklin Ave all the way to the Gardner.] They have put in new windows which helps cut down the noise from nearby night clubs and are working to upgrade the HVAC.
Lauren, 3-night trip

2/10 Poor

It is not apt for humans. It states nonsmoking but it reaks! Dirty, dirty, dirty and very noisy! Just disgusting!
lorena, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Walls seem to be paperthin. They told me you could get coffee anytime through the day. You couldn’t the kid that was at the desk when I went to get coffee had cold old coffee just really didn’t seem like he wanted to be there probably upgrade your amenities a little, after all that I love the building 101 years old but as far as everything else customer service whatever was very mediocre
Gerald, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

They charged me 100 dollars when they told me the price would be 60.. that is, they charged me 100 dollars for a disturbance with a lot of noise from outside and a shared bathroom. The room also had no television. Very incompetent for such a high price.
