Rates were too high for the old old rooms. The food was bland, priced too high, and then a ridiculas tip was added to the bill! Went with Best Western because one in Clovis talked me into getting a card for BW for discounts. But this one wouldn't honor the card! Will never stay at this one again and probably won't stay at any Best Western either!
I am not likely
to return to the Best Western Rio Grande Inn.
I would not recommend it to friends.
