La Posada Hotel - King Bed.. Hard and uncomfortable.. oh and watch out and bashing your toe's on the feet of the bed when walking around the bed

I've heard about this place for years and finally found myself around the corner…read more The hotel is stunning in architecture, gardens and the general public area. The staff are friendly, helpful and welcoming. The area is a very good visual representation of a bye-gone era. Plenty of free parking

I am torn on this place.. Now granted for the area.. It's about your only option for a nice place…read more. The Staff are super friendly and the place is old, but well kept to a boutique style hotel.. It's old old school.. If you struggle with carrying your luggage up two long flights of stairs, request ground floor.. There is no elevator.. Just FYI.. We were put in the smallest room they have.. Didn't know that until we were told that checking out.. They weren't even fully booked.. The room was small.. The Clark Gable Room.. Who ever stuck us in that room wasn't very nice, just saying.. The bed was hard and difficult to sleep on and the pillows didn't make it much easier either..Also there is only one outlet to charge phones on. There is only a charger/outlet on the table next to sink area. The air conditioner had one speed and didn't cool very well.. It was only 98 degrees outside.. I will tell you the shower room was seperate from the sink which was nice.. The shower was spacious and comfortable to shower in.. The lavender soap is nice too.. The towels were super thick and nice.. Had we been in a bigger or more comfortable room i probably would have given more stars.. To be honest.. Probably won't stop here again..

Two Stars - Great Property and Quiet Rooms, Ruined by Useless and Predatory EV Charging…read more If I were rating solely on the hotel amenities, this would easily be a 4 or 5-star review. The property is relatively new, modern, and very clean. The lobby is sharp, there is a convenient bar/restaurant right off the main entrance, and the complimentary breakfast is solid (standard rotation of eggs, breakfast meats, potatoes, waffle maker, cereal, and oatmeal). Outside, there is a great courtyard patio with lawn bowling that looks like a lot of fun. The staff was exceptionally friendly at check-in, and the guest rooms are remarkably well-soundproofed. Aside from the continuous bathroom exhaust fan and standard AC noise, the room was whisper quiet. You hear zero hallway traffic, no slamming doors, and not even the housekeeping carts in the morning. The blackout curtains actually deliver pitch-black darkness, the bed was fine (on the firmer side), and practical amenities like the mini-fridge, hanging storage drawers, multiple outlets, and handheld garment steamer were appreciated. Unfortunately, our stay was completely derailed by the electric vehicle charging setup. We were traveling with two EVs and specifically booked this property because it advertised on-site charging. However, there is zero charging information on their website, and on ChargePoint they are set as private/hidden, so you have no transparency until you pull up. While having three dual-port ChargePoint pedestals (accommodating six vehicles) looks great on the surface, the actual technical deployment and pricing structure are an absolute disaster: * Severely Underpowered: These are 14-amp circuits capped at 6.6 kW total per unit. When two vehicles plug into one pedestal, it drops to an abysmal 3.3 kW per vehicle. At that trickle, it would take 24+ hours to charge a modern EV battery. It is functionally useless for overnight hotel charging. * Misinformation & Asinine Pricing: Desk staff told us the first four hours were free--they are not. They charge a flat $4 per hour. At a 3 to 6 kW split, guests are effectively paying an exorbitant $1.00+ per kWh. * Escalating Overnight Penalty: Worse, after four hours the rate spikes by an extra $2/hr up to $6 per hour. It's a hotel--guests plug in to charge overnight while sleeping! Forcing guests to wake up in the middle of the night just to unplug and avoid escalating hourly penalties is absurd. We plugged in briefly, gained barely 1% battery in 45 minutes, and were billed $3.31. We immediately unplugged and drove across the street to the Electrify America DC fast chargers at Walmart instead. We paid 60¢/kWh and were charged to 93% in 35 minutes. Staying plugged in overnight at the hotel would have cost $40+ for practically no range added, whereas proper 11 kW Level 2 hotel chargers normally top a vehicle off overnight for $20-$30. To hotel ownership: either rip these out entirely and stop claiming you have EV amenities, or fix them. Upgrade the circuits to at least 32 or 40 amps so vehicles actually pull usable power, and switch immediately to per-kWh billing (ideally under 30¢ to 50¢/kWh) instead of hourly rates. Charging by the hour on split 14-amp hardware is the most backward setup in the industry, and it ruins an otherwise solid stay. We will not be back until this is resolved.

Pretty dissatisfied with this place. We came in after a long day of driving and were expecting a…read morecheap stay. Their website said our room would be under $50. We came in and answered all the questions we were asked about how many people and if we had a dog. It was upsetting to find out we had to pay so much extra for having a dog. When we got into the room there was a used towel hanging in the bathroom and a wash cloth shoved in the top right corner of the room door (maybe a quick fix to something but it looks tacky). The beds were hard and the pillows were uncomfortable.

Very disappointed with this hotel. I had made reservations for this Econo Lodge in Winslow, AZ over…read morea week prior to arrival and found a good rate so decided I would go with this one. Given that I was driving from the LA area to Chicago, this was my first stop. I arrived at 12:45am (the night of 12/30, early early morning 12/31), and walked into the lobby where no one was to be found. I waited for over 20 minutes there after many attempts to call them with the coffee phone provided, as well as ringing the bell, and calling from my personal phone - NO ANSWER, NOBODY. After a very long day of driving and being up early, I was very unsure what to do as all I needed was a bed to sleep in since I had another long drive the next day. I called the Quality Inn down the road since they are apart of the same group that owns Econolodge, and the guy didn't know what to tell me and basically told me to call a main number for help since they had no vacancies. That number did not get me connected to anyone since it wasn't during normal business hours. Long story short, I ended up staying at a Quality Inn in Holbrook (a 35 minute from there) and didn't get to bed until well after 2pm. I also ended up paying more than triple than what I initially paid which they will not refund me for which I find strange considering it was their fault I was put in this predicament. I was very displeased and it makes me disappointed to have even signed up with Choice Hotels.
