THE SPACE This is a one-bedroom, one-bathroom apartment with a private, independent entrance.

The tub invites the kind of long soak many El Paso visitors have been craving. A bidet adds comfort and convenience. Hot water is reliable throughout your stay.

Full-size refrigerator, stove, oven, coffee maker, microwave, cooking basics, and complete dishes and silverware mean you can prepare breakfast, work meals, or accommodate special dietary needs with ease.

WORK & CONNECTIVITY A dedicated workspace with high-speed Wi-Fi supports remote work seamlessly. An on-site business center and reception area are available in shared spaces if you need a change of scenery or conference-call quiet — but it's entirely optional.
