I stayed at the Marriott during my initial visit to El Paso to find a house before transferring to Fort Bliss. I chose this property because I have Gold Status with Marriott and also because it is close to the airport.
The building itself is standard. If you've been to one Marriott, you've been to them all. Nothing about the room layout or decor is groundbreaking. It is very clean and comfortable, however. The staff is pleasant and attentive and the property is centrally located, making it easy to get around (this is particularly near Fort Bliss if your visit is there).
The only "weird" thing about this hotel is that the floor in my room was tile instead of carpet. I didn't understand, at the time, that the horrible dust in El Paso means that this is probably the only way to ensure that the rooms stay clean.
I did see a lizard in my room when I first checked in. I freaked out and was promptly transferred. In fairness (now that I am living here) lizards are EVERYWHERE in El Paso, so it is probably impossible to keep them out. Everything looked immaculately clean, so I don't think that the lizard was there as a result of poor housekeeping.
I have recommended this property to friends during stopovers in town.
