We arrived in Nuevo Casas Grandes at dusk after a long day of driving. Without any reservations, we made one pass down the main thouroughfare and selected the Paquime.

We found the hotel to be comfortable, quiet, and clean. The rooms were somewhat larger than many Mexican hotels. The beds were very firm, as expected. The bathroom was clean and everything worked! The room had a color TV with cable reception.

The hotel staff was extremely friendly and helpful. We were able to park our car inside the enclosed parking garage, a big plus! There was complimentary coffee available in the morning when we departed.

Directly across the street from the hotel was a small pizzeria, serving some of the best pizza that I have enjoyed anywhere.

Although this is not a luxury hotel, I found it to be quite acceptable and I'll certainly stay here again when passing through the area.
